Table of contents
As data suggest
- 72.1% of consumers spend most or all of their time on websites in their own language.
- 72.4% of consumers said they would be more likely to buy a product with information in their own language.
- 56.2% of consumers said that the ability to obtain information in their own language is more important than price.
Data clearly states that your first strategic move would: localize your business website and knowledge base in different languages.
Let’s say your company based out of an English predominant market is starting to gain customers from different parts of the market. Up until now, your business has a website and knowledge management in just one language, English (Monolingual) because it is quite popular across the globe. But, that’s your luck.
Customers today love familiarity, eventually, familiarity forms loyalty and trust in your brand.
Support your customers from all around the world by translating your knowledge base into multiple languages.
