Content localisation

Content localization is more than you think

Content localisation doesn't mean translation.

It is a cultural translation that not only speaks the language of your target audiences, but also understands their unique interests.

It covers both linguistic and cultural adaptation such as audience mindset, content preference and buying habits.

The following aspects should be considered when doing content localisation for your audience.

What Is Content Localization?

Featured

Language

Straight translation is not enough to produce quality copywriting. Depending on the target audience, specific industry terminology shall be used for the B2B audience and colloquial or slang can be used for B2C audience subject to brands' position.

Creatives style

Creatives, be they images or videos, shall be localised according to target audiences' preferences. People living in China, for example, might have different preferences depending on their geographic location. In order for your target audiences to better resonate with your advertisement, creative style shall be adapted accordingly.

Cultural sensitivity

Content marketers need to be mindful of cultural differences while localising content, such as religious beliefs and lifestyles etc. Localisation is particularly important in marketing to Chinese audiences. China is the second-largest economy and the largest consumer market in the world. When entering the Chinese market, it is important to fully grasp the unique dynamics of the localisation process.
