If you already make a lot of sales in your domestic market, you might think that hiring a translation agency is all you need to grow in the global market. In reality, e-commerce localization includes the SEO aspects of your store, local currency, payment methods, imagery, and other things that should accompany the content translation.

Let’s talk about why e-commerce localization is important, how to do it with the help of localization platform, Crowdin, and what to consider before you localize your content.

You can expand your business into new countries by having your website or product content translated into several languages and optimized for search engines in those locales.

This move toward multilingual content also opens up new opportunities and strengthens relationships between businesses and customers. As the web development industry has moved toward supporting more languages, content management systems (CMS) should be ready to handle localization.

In this article, we’ll look at choosing the best CMS and localization apps for CMS that have features for translating content and publishing pages into more than one language. But before we get there, let’s discuss multilingual content management and why you need a CMS.

App stores are available all over the world. Everyone wants their apps to be seen and used by as many people as possible. Because of this, app translation is crucial for every company expanding to new markets.

When creating a multilingual app, you want to ensure it works well across all platforms. Modern projects are often spread across different platforms and built with different stacks. For example, you must translate an app with the same functions for Android, iOS, and the web. In this case, you need a way to localize the same content for different platforms only once.

Teams face many questions when it comes to localization. Once you decide to scale your product internationally, you have a lot of work to do. Besides deciding on the target market, languages, and budget, you’ll need to find software, prepare your code, upload the files, find translators, ensure they won’t crush the code, have all the resources to provide high-quality translations, and more.

In most cases, coordinating all of these efforts is the job of a dedicated person with management skills, understanding how to automate content updates and set up a continuous translation process.

The idea that machine translation systems can’t handle translations on a decent level is challenged daily. In our time, technology serves as an assistant rather than a competitor in many spheres.
