WEB SITE LOCALIZATION
If you want to stay competitive in a fast-growing global market, it's time to stop thinking about it, and take action. Localize your web site now!
Your web site is your window to the world, but it also provides businesses and individuals around the globe with a means of viewing your products and services. Research has shown time and time again that web users are up to four times more likely to make purchases when addressed in their native language (IDC). Because of this, web localization is undoubtedly a key Internet marketing strategy.
A translation of a company's web site to Swedish will increase turnover and profit. The potential is tremendous in Sweden, and this may be the right time for your company to explore new markets. Don't let the cultural, geographic or linguistic barriers impede your business with lucrative countries. I can provide you with customized solutions to take you down the path of business success.

LOCALISATION DE SITES WEB
Souhaitez-vous garder votre compétitivité dans une économie mondiale qui évolue rapidement ? Cessez alors d’y penser, passez à l’action et localisez votre site web !
Votre site est votre fenêtre ouverte sur le monde ; toutefois, il présente aussi aux entreprises et aux particuliers du monde entier une vitrine sur vos produits et vos services. Les recherches de l’IDC ont maintes fois révélé que les internautes sont quatre fois plus enclins à effectuer des achats sur un site qui s’affiche dans leur langue. La localisation d’un site s’avérera donc une stratégie de marketing indispensable sur l’Internet.
Faites traduire votre site en suédois et vous constaterez une augmentation de votre chiffre d’affaires et de vos profits. La Suède représente un énorme potentiel et votre société pourrait prospecter de nouveaux marchés en saisissant cette occasion. Ne laissez pas les barrières culturelles, géographiques ou linguistiques entraver votre potentiel de commerce avec des pays lucratifs. Je peux vous fournir des solutions personnalisées qui vous conduiront sur la voie du succès commercial.
