Localization for Travel and Tourism Industry



Localization for Travel and Tourism Industry

Amid Covid-19, it has become difficult for us to travel other countries like how we used to before. However, since vaccinations were developed and as we learned to cope with Covid-19, travelling to other countries have become closer to being completely possible. As communication with international customers is essentially important for travel and tourism industries, translation and localization became inevitable for these industries.

Importance of localization among travel and tourism industry

Since translation focuses on the process of changing languages into another language, localization takes into consideration of the cultural, social, visual and technological aspects of changing the texts for users in different languages. In other words, localization is about conveying original messages through recreation so that it has similar feel as the original messages.

So why is localization important for travel and tourism industries? In order to efficiently communicate to international customers, it is important to understand their culture. For instance, some of the symbols can be inappropriate for certain people from different cultures, and localization takes this into consideration by deleting such symbols so that people from certain cultural background won’t get offended.

Moreover, literal translation of content maybe confusing for international customers and it may give misunderstandings and may convey messages that may offend some of them. This is why localization is key for travel and tourism industries.

The translation would involve converting the manual from English to French, ensuring that technical terms and instructions are accurately represented in French.
