Our skilled web translators can help you develop your international reach

Most organisations have an international clientele, which is why it is important that your corporate website speaks the language of your customers. You may sell to diverse overseas markets or just a few, but your website will have limited value if your customers can’t make sense of it in their own language or find it of little relevance to their culture.

UKLS recognises the importance of getting your multi-lingual website absolutely right and to help you achieve this we have a dedicated team of experienced website translators who are familiar with your sector and know the culture of your chosen markets inside out.

Localisation - going beyond the literal

We regard translation as more than just a case of literally translating the content of your website. In web culture where the use of less formal language, slang terms and jargon is the prevalent style it is crucial that any translation goes beyond the literal to provide the closest equivalent of a phrase or word in the target language. That is why our web translators are usually mother-tongue and are based in-country to guarantee superior quality and localisation.

World Internet statistics speak volumes for website localisation

World internet use has grown from 360,985,492 users in 2000 by over 400% to just under 2 billion users in 2010. With over 200 million non-English speakers currently accessing the internet and one in five users more likely to purchase from sites that are translated into their own language, the benefits of translating your website by far outweigh the convenience of limiting yourself to one language.

Your website may already enjoy reasonable traffic volumes or orders from overseas customers, but just think of the extra sales, higher visitor numbers and increased marketing presence you could achieve just by translating and localising your website into multiple languages.

Key website translation and localisation benefits
• Increased sales and marketing presence in non-English speaking countries

• Potential customers understand exactly what you sell not just a basic grasp of what you are about
• Localised pages generate higher customer/visitor numbers

We can translate your web video content

Your site may stream video content in your source language, which may not readily be understood by overseas visitors. One of our web translation services is to take your original, source video files and translate them into the language(s) of your customers. This can be done either by changing spoken words with a voiceover by a mother tongue speaker, or by adding written subtitles to the film.
