The translation of websites into foreign languages makes them accessible to users all over the world. The internet is continuing to develop as a medium of international communication, and over 100 million people access the internet in languages other than English. In fact, it is estimated that over 50% of web users speak a native language other than English. (Forrester Research) This has created a huge market for international websites, and the need for website translation and website localization services is increasing daily.

Naturally, audiences worldwide are more willing to read a website if its content is written in their native language. Consider French translation; translating your business’ website into French may be very important for your success. France is said to be the third largest internet economy in Europe, and Canadians have one of the highest internet use rate in the world, while Belgium has an internet use rate of 48%.

Skillful website translations can attract thousands of potential customers, or associates, from abroad to your translated website. In fact, website translation has become one of the most cost-effective ways to reach international markets and businesses. It may not be necessary for you to translate your entire website. Some organizations decide to translate only core pages of their websites.

Translation in itself may not be the answer to your website translation requirements, especially if your organization’s website deals with marketing or has a creative content. Professional translators must be culturally sensitive in their translations of websites, and ascertain that the translated website does not sound as if it is translated from English. Literal translations will not work in any type of translation, but this is especially true for website translations. Website localization plays an important role in this aspect. To be found on the internet, a company or business must have a multi-lingual internet presence. Major languages such as French, Arabic (read all the way from Morocco to Malaysia), German, Spanish … are all contributing to the percentage of internet users.
