With money moving around
the world faster every day and the political and regulatory landscape
changing quickly, it is essential to have reliable, speedy and
consistent language support. English-German Translations Services can
offer your business just such a service.
For the past nine years, independent market research firm Common
Sense Advisory (CSA Research) has studied the world’s most prominent
websites to identify the leaders of the global web. These business and
consumer websites represent the biggest companies, most popular
websites, and most valuable brands, based on the Forbes Global 2000
list, the Alexa Top 500 Global Websites, and the Interbrand 100 Best
Brands. Data collected by CSA Research finds a strong correlation
between a brand’s financial strength and the number of languages it
makes its website available in. The data, findings, and analysis are
detailed in the firm’s report, “Global Website Assessment Index 2016.”
Common Sense Advisory polled 3,002 consumers in 10 countries in their
languages to test the hypothesis that companies can increase their
sales by localizing their products and websites. It found a substantial
preference for the consumer's mother tongue. This partiality leads many
potential prospects unsure of their reading skills to avoid
English-language websites, spend less time during their visits, and not
buy products that lack instructions or post-sales customer support in
their language. In summary, we found that more local- language content
throughout the customer experience leads to a greater likelihood of
purchase.
* Companies that invest in translation do report higher revenue. *
The greatest predictor of profit increases is linked to an
organization’s corporate culture and whether or not it translates in
order to retain and motivate its employees and partners. * A clear
indicator of strong financial performance is content growth itself, in
addition to the amount a company invests in translation. * Firms that translate in order to keep up with or to
gain an edge over their competitors enjoy increased profits more than
those that do not. * Responding to domestic multicultural markets also
improves financial health.
Localization is important! How do you answer the phone?
