Not all clients know already,
but they need their website translated
Reasons to believe
Traffic:
“9 in 10 Internet users in the EU said that, when they had a choice of languages, they always visited
a website in their own language.” [EU]
Turnover:
“People with no or low English skills were six times more likely not to buy from Anglophone sites
than their countrymen who were proficient in English.” [DePalma et al.]
Profits:
“Global Fortune 500 companies that actively localizing their products or services yields profits of
$365 billion. If only 10% of their total revenues are derived from international sales dependent
upon localization profits would have been reduced to -$225 billion.” [LISA]
ROI:
“Companies are receiving approximately $25 of additional revenue for every $1 spent on
localization.” [LISA]
