Because of this, localization can seem unattainable to many small and medium-sized businesses that may not have the capital to invest in localization \u2013 or the resources to maintain it.<\/p>\n<p>However, while it might not be immediately apparent, the trade-off of not doing localization is guaranteed to be far more costly in the long run. And with the right tools, it\u2019s accessible to companies of all sizes, opening a door to a world of opportunity for growth.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote-style-one\"><p>&#8220;Getting on the localization ladder is the first step in the process, and is the key to unlocking the growth opportunities modern companies need to scale \u2013 if not to simply survive&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-localization\">What is localization?<\/h2>\n<p>At its core, localization is the process of adapting a product or service to meet the needs and expectations of consumers in a particular country or region. The process is typically equated with language translation \u2013 which is one of its core components \u2013 but in practice, it spans to include factors such as the tone and voice of your content, product pricing and tax models, and the legal considerations for entering and operating in that market.<\/p>\n<p>While all of that might sound daunting, it doesn\u2019t have to be implemented all at once. Getting on the localization ladder is the first step in the process, and is the key to unlocking the growth opportunities modern companies need to scale \u2013 if not to simply survive. Speaking on the Inside Intercom podcast about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/podcasts\/scale-how-to-achieve-2500-revenue-growth-5-lessons-from-paddles-ed-fry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lessons learned from achieving 2,475% revenue growth<\/a>, Ed Fry, Head of Growth at Paddle, shared that when it comes to international expansion and optimizing your product for a global audience, \u201cMaking small incremental improvements can make dramatic increases in topline revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote-style-one\"><p>&#8220;For localization to be most efficient, best practice dictates that it should be an ongoing process&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For localization to be most efficient, best practice dictates that it should be an ongoing process. Localization management platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/lokalise.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lokalise<\/a> are an effective way to implement this process of ongoing localization, seamlessly integrating with your content management system to ensure that every time you make an update to a landing page or help doc, it kicks off the translation process and creates a single source of truth for all your localized content.<\/p>\n<p>This approach to managing your localization efforts on an ongoing basis is referred to as continuous localization \u2013 much akin to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/continuous-delivery\/continuous-integration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continuous integration<\/a>, which is a practice in software engineering where developers merge their work into a single code repository on a continuous basis, helping to enforce version control and create a single source of truth for their code.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-hidden-costs-of-forgoing-localization\">The hidden costs of forgoing localization<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote-style-two\"><p>&#8220;According to research, 75% of customers prefer to make buying decisions in their native language&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, consumers naturally veer towards content that\u2019s written in their native language, which makes it crucial to look past the obvious costs of implementing localization \u2013 and towards the massive opportunity cost of never having done it at all.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Barrier to international expansion<\/h3>\n<p>Not having a multilingual product offering doesn\u2019t necessarily prevent you from entering new markets \u2013 but it will determine whether or not you succeed. If we know anything, it\u2019s that a one-size-fits-all approach to customer experience simply doesn\u2019t work. The reality is that forgoing language translations in important areas of your business, like your help center, and customer support platform is going to cost you expansion opportunities on a global scale.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Low conversion rates<\/h3>\n<p>According to research, <a href=\"https:\/\/csa-research.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">75% of customers prefer to make buying decisions in their native language<\/a>. By that logic, entering a new market with an unlocalized product means eliminating three-quarters of your potential pool of customers before you\u2019ve even gotten started. For international expansion to be a successful lever for growth, localization is a critical precursory step.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Increased churn<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason the customer lifecycle is called just that: a lifecycle, because the journey doesn\u2019t begin and end when a prospect converts to become a customer. Onboarding and nurturing customers are integral parts of the customer experience, so it stands to reason that if your onboarding and product language isn\u2019t accessible, those customers will likely churn.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote-style-one\"><p>&#8220;For many companies, the reality is that hiring specialized, multilingual support agents to serve the global market isn\u2019t a viable option&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"localizing-at-scale\">Localizing at scale<\/h2>\n<p>For many companies, the reality is that hiring specialized, multilingual support agents to serve the global market isn\u2019t a viable option. And while machine translation is often suited to live conversations due to the importance of responding in real-time, anything less than human translation for knowledge base articles and onboarding flows won\u2019t make for a good customer experience \u2013 and will inevitably result in low engagement and adoption rates. With that in mind, our team of localization experts at Lokalise has built custom apps for both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/inbox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Intercom Inbox<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Articles<\/a>, working with the Intercom team to make the cost of entry to international expansion far lower.<\/p>\n<p>Combining the power of the Intercom API with Lokalise\u2019s localization management software, Intercom customers can now leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/live-chat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">live chat<\/a> translations to engage in real-time conversations with customers in any market through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/messenger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Intercom Messenger<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24453 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2042\/09\/Lokalise-for-Inbox.gif\" alt=\"Lokalise app for the Intercom Inbox\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Customers using Articles can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/app-store\/?app_package_code=lokalise-for-articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">translate their knowledge base content into multiple languages<\/a> by importing their articles into Lokalise and exporting the translated versions back to Intercom in just a few simple steps. With Lokalise operating as the centralized hub for the translated content, implementing a continuous localization workflow for your knowledge base can be done quickly and seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24452 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2042\/09\/Lokalise-for-Articles.gif\" alt=\"Lokalise app for Intercom Articles\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"from-small-steps-to-giant-leaps\">From small steps to giant leaps<\/h2>\n<p>Complete product localization is a process that takes time, and a lot of care and attention.
