Translation is essentially important if you are planning to expand your business to different countries such as Europe, Asia or Middle East. As people speak different languages across the world, it is important to translate daily news articles or social media posts in other languages your target customers speak.



How to localize social media content

If you want to localize your social media campaigns or social media content, one thing you should never do is to use google translate. Since social media content should be relevant to target country, translator should be able to avoid cultural taboo terms and understand cultural aspect of different countries while translating. This can only be done by professional human linguist or translator. If you use Google translate to localize your social content, you might face some serious consequences by people in target countries.

 


This also applies for the website you are trying to localize or translate. If you use online translation tools such as Google Translate, the translation will never be perfect. It will also have various grammatical errors giving awkward or literal translation results. Google Translate or any other online translation tools have no cultural knowledge of the language and will result in very low quality translation.
