Website translation and web localisation services
Making the decision to go global with your digital content is frequently one of the most profitable steps a company can take. The initial outlay of funds is small. And the number of potential new clients that you can easily reach is huge.
Which is why website localisation and translation is suddenly such a hot topic. You can expand your reach to new markets around the world with minimal effort. The only danger is that when it’s not handled properly, you can risk turning off potential new international clients rather getting those all-important conversions…
Why does effective website translation matter?
A recent survey by Common Sense Advisory found that over 55% of consumers around the world would only buy goods and services online if they could read about them in their own language first. And with the increasing proliferation of the idea that translation is easy – after all, one click makes Google Translate produce a text instantly – that 55% is a number that’s all set to grow.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that while you might be targeting, for instance, your domestic market in the UK, there are currently around 500,000 native Polish speakers within that market. Similar statistics can be seen elsewhere:
- In the USAthere are 41 million native Spanish speakers
- In Canada, the first or second language of 95%of the population is Quebecois (aka Canadian French)
That means there are likely to be some large segments of your current market which properly translating your digital content could help you target more effectively. Now think of that magnified by a market which is completely untapped…

Difference between localisation, translation and transcreation
Website translation
Website translation converts the content of your website into text that will be suitable for a reader in another language.
Unlike automatically translated text, professional translation ensures that your multilingual web content will always make sense to your target audience. This is vital to promote consumer trust in your products and services. You’ll know exactly how important this is if you’ve ever tried to purchase an item from a foreign-language website which is being automatically translated into English.
Website localisation
Website localisation goes a step further. Here, your collateral will be made more suitable for the local market. This will include:
- Your website content– localising your digital content isn’t just a case of “translating it into Spanish”, for example. You’ll need to target the specific Spanish dialect spoken in your target market – perhaps in Spain, Mexico, or Costa Rica.
- Images and graphic elements– localising text is just the start. Knowledge of cultural colour symbolism, references and more should ideally be implemented for all visual content too.
- Currency, date and time formats– this is often the easiest way to give away the fact that your website hasn’t been properly translated. Using the time, date, currency and other formats which your user is accustomed to will make them feel more at home on your website.
- Local website navigation standards– you’ll want your website to behave in the way which a local user expects a website to behave. This can be as simple as being laid out for a language which reads from right-to-left. This encourages a user to keep comfortably browsing your site for longer.
- International SEO– translating your keywords into another language is rarely, if ever, going to get you good results. Proper keyword research needs to be undertaken for your new market or you risk missing out on what huge sections of your audience will be searching for.
Website transcreation
Website transcreation, on the other hand, is a much more creative approach. It allows your linguist the freedom to completely change the literal meaning of your original document. This is done in order to create the same emotional impact on a reader from another culture.
This is particularly useful and important:
- When used to create the most effective marketing collateral.
- For language pairs where literal translation simply isn’t effective, such as English and Vietnamese.
