E-commerce is a business full of content. Customer service, product descriptions, navigation, reviews, marketing communication, ads, notifications, CTA messages, multilingual SEO keyword identification… and there is still more.

Research shows that cross-border shoppers are most focused on navigation, reviews and product descriptions. From experience, we also recommend proper keyword identification and tag translation for better search and filtering results.

However, the elements of an e-commerce experience vary in importance depending on your target market and customer base. Learn more about translation services for e-commerce.

Blogs, edu-series and PDF guides are often built around themes and interconnected content. Creating a new language version of such subject-specific content requires quality translation, SEO keyword identification and implementation, as well as preservation of the content’s structure. At locatheart, we offer you the best solutions for content marketing, tested on our own blog and educational content.

When locatheart launched, we focused on video content. Though we have grown and developed, video is still an important part of our work, whether it is e-learning content, commercials, tutorials, how-to’s, video reviews or something else, we will translate it for you to the best market standard.

Transcreation is a creative process overlapping translation, localisation and copywriting. Its main focus is to recreate content in a new language, as if it was originally written for the new market. At locatheart, we work with great linguists and writers who stay creative while avoiding overinterpretation. Transcreation is a growing trend in marketing-related translations as it comes closer to the audience. Contact us about your transcreation project!

Writing from scratch in many languages calls for a single partner who will find suitable writers for each market and coordinate their work according to guidelines. We are that partner! With multilingual copywriting, you’ll stand out from the crowd in your new market.

Finding the right keywords for each language and market is a tricky task, as translation isn’t enough. People use different words, including synonyms and phrases that you wouldn’t expect. Customers in different markets may also have completely different search patterns. To enter a new market, you need to identify the keywords in use in that market and then position yourself online with them. This means that keyword research must come before any line of a product description or blog post is ever written.

We will find those keywords for your business to give you solid foundations for success in every new market.

Sometimes content is not about value for your customers, but about volume for SEO efforts. We have a service designed for these needs, focused on multilingual keyword identification and implementation. Learn more about SEO content translation.

Localization focuses on adjusting a product or a service to a new market so that its value is kept, including user experience. Translation may be an important part of app localisation.

Our specialized linguists are set in the markets that they’re translating for. That keeps their work relevant to the target audience. They’ll help to put your app in the local context, making it natural to use for end-users.

Continuous localisation allows for rapid translations suited for agile software development processes. The goal of continuous localisation is to translate almost in real-time, so that newly developed features can be released in all languages. This requires a special framework – as well as good understanding and communication between the development, localisation and translation teams. When planned well, it can become very efficient. Learn more about continuous localisation.

Mobile games are mobile apps and, as such, they require translation as part of a localisation effort. But as with any other games, mobile games may have some internal logic or storytelling involved, and these elements must be seen from a bird’s-eye perspective to bring the complete experience to the new language.

Video games are usually much bigger and require more complicated localisation and translation projects; they necessitate understanding of how games are built and used. At locatheart, we work with linguists specialised in this field to provide translations that will engage gamers as strongly as the original.

Board and card games are about more than just objects – the objects simply facilitate the whole experience. The role of board-game translation is to recreate the potential experiences of the game. Every single word is full of meaning when space is limited. In order to translate these games for new markets, translators get to know the gameplay and understand the whole universe of the game, particularly when licensing is involved. The use of our translation software allows us to minimise the workload of DTP specialists and to also minimise errors, as there is no more copy-paste work required. Let us know about your game!

With every translation we perform for you, your databases grow. We can create them from scratch and await economies of scale, or you may have your own translation memory from previous projects. We will store it for you, keep it up-to-date and perform regular back-ups – because translation memory is your most valuable asset in creating new language versions.

Guidelines and reference materials are one of the foundations of successful translation, but you may not have the time or experience to create them. At locatheart, we are happy to facilitate this process. You can share your intuitive guidelines via e-mail or a phone call, and our team will create draft guidelines that you can review together. Our team will also define which types of reference material (like links, screenshots etc.) are suggested for each of your projects.

Terminology is a key component of communication. Your preferred style and tone of voice are strongly defined by the terminology you decide to use. Glossaries may include preferred synonyms, brand and industry terminology, prohibited words and words that should not be translated, as well as recurring words and phrases from previous translations. All of these tools make translations consistent and much faster.

How to verify the quality of your content in languages you don’t know? How to keep your internal translation team and your language partners motivated? Language quality audits are part of translation quality assurance. An external auditor controls the quality of a language version of your content and prepares a report with a list of errors, suggested corrections, identified types of errors and possible reasons for them, and a final overview. Contact us to talk about an external language quality audit of your international content.
