Best Practices in Marketing Localization
When it comes to reaching new audiences, translating and localizing content are both key to acquiring new customers. Many organizations don’t have a dedicated localization team, and so it falls on the responsibility of marketers to navigate this complex field.
However it’s not as simple as translating something word for word. Whether it’s the website and SEO descriptions or perhaps video content with subtitles, there’s an entire world of considerations marketers need to be mindful of. So where do you begin?
Watch the recordings now as we cover the key tips and tricks when it comes localizing:
- Websites
- Videos
- Written content and images

Websites
The website is one of the most powerful tools for any business when it comes to attracting new customers. It’s the first place your prospects go to when they want to learn more. So it’s no surprise businesses are investing significant resources to ensure their entire website is accessible in any language.
In this session, we’ll show you:
- Which pages you should prioritise translating (if all pages are not possible)
- How to optimize your multilingual SEO
- What to consider when it comes to visual localization (images, styling, CSS)
- How to adjust the design of your site to accommodate character length

Written content and images
It’s all well and good translating your website to suit new audiences, but if you’re going to build a rapport with them over time, it’s important that all of your written and visual content is also created with global audiences in mind. From product descriptions on retail sites, to blog articles, emails, apps and even graphics, each has different challenges and approaches.
Creating a great user experience for your international audience requires you to think about how you manage all these different channels to market and the way this content is consumed.
