In Alphabet’s order portfolio, translation services for e-commerce have been steadily taking the first place in recent years. This is not surprising, since millions of businessmen and companies are striving to increase sales by entering international markets. Among the most frequently solved tasks are the localization of online store websites, preparation of promotional materials, Amazon listings, product names, and descriptions for other marketplaces. But this is only a brief presentation of the tasks in the field of e-commerce that require translation. Their range is not limited, since it includes legal and business documents, communications, user reviews, blog entries, and landing pages, and the variety of digital content is constantly growing following technological progress.
Alphabet provides a professional translation service for e-commerce from/to 70+ languages. We work quickly and fulfill orders in volumes up to 10 pages in 24 hours or even faster if the client expresses such a wish. It is important to emphasize that at Alphabet, orders are carried out by native speakers with proven experience in the field of e-commerce, preparing materials for websites, Amazon, and so on. We will briefly explain how important this is in the next section.
Machine or word-for-word translation in the field of e-commerce is inapplicable even because, for example, it will not replace one currency name with another with a corresponding recalculation of the price. But this is only an obvious error that can be corrected during verification. However, the machine will make a lot of other “mechanical” errors, the correction of which will require a complete reworking of the document. This is because online machine translation does not take into account the peculiarities of human perception.
For the success of e-commerce, it is not enough just to translate the text with the knowledge of the right language. The fact is that any commerce is built on trust, that is, a visitor to a website or page on Amazon should have a feeling of trust in the seller, a feeling of “I am where I should be” A fine understanding of the national mentality, local traditions and modern way of thinking will help to get such a result. Even any small mistake will destroy trust and cause a refusal to purchase.
Accordingly, the translation of materials for e-commerce should be entrusted to a native-speaking specialist who knows all these peculiarities. This person will provide not just translation, but localization of advertising and information materials. Only in this case, for example, a product description that worked well to increase sales in the United States or India will be equally successful in China or Mexico.
Another important aspect of e-commerce is meeting the requirements, taking into account the features of search engines, trading, and advertising platforms. That is, if the source material, for example, was optimized for the requirements of search engines (SEO), and met the requirements of a trading or advertising platform, it is necessary to preserve these properties in the resulting text. Only a professional of the appropriate specialization can fully solve the localization problem in the field of e-commerce. Machine translation and even ordinary human translation will lead to the fact that the material will not be accepted for placement at all due to non-compliance with the requirements for the number of characters in the title local tradition, or law. In another case, the material will be posted, but will not be able to work effectively due to incorrect translation or loss of key phrases.
Therefore, if you need translation services in e-commerce, contact Alphabet professionals. We will help you to speak to the national target audience in the same language literally. Localization of websites, descriptions, and other materials will allow visitors to create a sense of trust in the products or services offered, and increase sales. It is simple and pleasant to work with us – you can apply and upload the necessary documents directly on this page. If necessary, our consulting operators will provide an answer to any question on the order. Moreover, in a day or a few hours, the ready translation for e-commerce will be in your hands and on the placement site!
