Translation is only one of several elements of the localisation process and other elements may include:
- Adapting to the culture of target markets
- Modifying content to suit the tastes and consumption habits of the target market
- Adapting design and layout to properly display translated text
- Converting to local requirements such as currencies and units of measure etc.
- Addressing local consumers’ taste
For example, when talking about search engine, Baidu beats Google in China (because Baidu looks and feels fully native to the Chinese-speaking audience). For Chinese people, WeChat beats Facebook in China. Chinese don’t like blue cheese in general. The Chinese New Year (AKA The Spring Festival) is far more important than Christmas.
These are examples of localisation.
The aim of localisation is to give a product the look and feel of having been created specifically for a target market, no matter their language, culture, or location.
