If you want international customers to have a superior user experience on your website, you should translate it into their preferred languages. This includes every step of the customer journey, from early education stages to conversion funnels.

Doing so creates a seamless and fully immersive customer experience. The alternative-a partially-translated website-is often a big turn-off for global customers. It also makes your website and brand appear amateurish, or not fully committed to the market.

The Problem

A fully localized experience can be challenging for companies to achieve. That’s because websites have unique characteristics that are difficult for many companies and vendors to localize. They include:

Use of Third-Party Platforms

Content found in third-party e-commerce, booking and other platforms is almost always stored outside a company’s website system. That means traditional website translation services can’t detect that content.

Use of Different Coding Systems

Websites are commonly constructed by using multiple coding systems, many of which-including JavaScript and JSON-go undetected by most translation solutions. That leads to gaps in on-site translated content.

Cross-Departmental Decision-Making

Individual sections of large corporate websites are sometimes controlled by different corporate divisions or subsidiaries. The differences in decision making, management and cross-departmental communication can make sitewide coordination difficult.

Third-Party Management

Outside agencies may also control certain content sections or operational aspects of the website. Much like internal cross-departmental coordination, clear communication might be a challenge here, too.

Security Compliance Requirements

The need for strict security can make it risky to turn to third-party solutions, especially when customers’ personal data is involved.

The Solution

MotionPoint’s fully turn-key proxy-based website translation services makes seamless in-language customer journeys possible. We do it with:
