Internationalization and Multilingual Websites

Overview

In a global economy, businesses of all sizes are recognizing the potential of offshore markets. With that said, building an international presence is more complex than simply obtaining a translation. There is a classic marketing story about the Chevy Nova's failure in Spanish speaking markets. In English, Nova had a somewhat futuristic name..., in Spanish, it sounded like the words for "it doesn't go".

It is inappropriate to picture young single women on a website for the Arabic world. Are you using a sports analogy? Indians have not a clue about baseball, but are passionate devotees of cricket. Even your choice of colors has impact in the global market. Choosing to build a website for the Chinese market requires a decision as to which version of Chinese will be used. Are you attempting to reach the mainland, or is your website targeted to Taiwan residents? The printed language is different.

Experience

Goimage has built websites in Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Danish, and other languages. We team with the world's best translators and cultural consultants to insure that your international presence has the desired result.

Considerations

  • Host on a .com or should you have a local domain like .uk?
  • Webhost location?
  • Language variations? (Spanish for Spain or Latin America?)
  • Demographics of Languages within markets?
    (e.g. India - English, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali?)
