According to a recent report from eMarketer, the global e-commerce industry exceeded $1 trillion in 2012 and forecasts indicate that in 2013, total e-commerce sales worldwide will grow 19% year over year. To take full advantage of this trend, internet retailers that are looking to grow their businesses globally should ensure that they have a very strong multilingual content strategy.
What does a strong multilingual content strategy look like for e-retailers?
1. Fully localize website content and the shopping cart platform to ensure the shopping experience is customized for global target markets (local currencies, date/time formats, formatting of numbers, general cultural appropriateness, etc.).
2. Exercise good multilingual SEO practices for global target markets to ensure local buyers are able to find your websites.
3. Integrate localization into the Content Management System to simplify the translation process and ensure multilingual content is kept up-to-date along with English content.
4. Ensure there is a customer service system in place to support global customers in their native languages, whether it is via telephone, e-mail or web chat.
5. Engage with foreign customers through social media, keeping in mind that social media networks and trends may vary from country to country.
