Localization
Translations adapted to cater to the unique preferences and behaviors of the target demographic
Are you planning to expand your reach to a specific target audience? If so, you may need to consider localized translation, also known as localization. This approach allows you to communicate with the target group in their native language. Localization generally leads to an increase in the engagement time of a website and positively influences decision-making in shopping or provides for a country-specific localization of software.
Localized translations also consider date-recording formats, currency units, and references to local institutions or laws. It’s essential to remember that what might seem like a harmless joke in one language could be perceived as a downright insult in another. The main goal for Centrum Jazykov is to ensure that every localization captures the essence of the message while embracing the local culture’s unique characteristics.
- preserving the brand’s legacy and evoking the same emotional response across borders
- greater outreach to a significantly larger audience
- increasing the credibility and persuasiveness of your product or service
Websites
Website localization, also referred to as language mutation, is an essential step toward expanding your business to international customers. It helps you reach out to potential customers and enhances your website’s search engine ranking (SERP), giving you a competitive edge in the digital world.
In the popular content management system (CMS) WordPress, we employ the following localization tools that serve to optimize our workflow:
- Poedit
- WPML
- Weglot
With the aid of these tools and the RWS Trados Studio CAT software, we can effortlessly work with exports from HTML/PHP (.xml, .csv), making translating and managing content more efficient and seamless. The software employed in this context enables the separation of visible and embedded text from code through the application of parsing and delimitation. Rest assured that we will provide the translated texts seamlessly integrated into the original code without compromising its original functionalities.
SEO and performance marketing
By optimizing your website for SEO or creating and managing PPC/CPC campaigns, you can unlock the potential to drive more traffic, increase conversions, and improve your product, service, and brand search rankings. The unifying factor in this context is the use of keywords, target market specificities, and search inquiries.
Localizing the translation of keywords, meta texts, advertising spots, and advertising headlines is crucial in ensuring that the content is easily comprehensible to the target audience while remaining recognizable to the search algorithm.
Thanks to the employment of RWS Trados Studio CAT software, we can expedite our work on digital texts while adhering to specific terminology, ultimately resulting in cost savings for our clients. We typically work with data sourced from the following platforms:
- GoogleAds
- Facebook manager
