The importance of delivering localized content in order to achieve globalization and meet customer expectations was a key topic at Smartling's Global Ready conference, where marketing, technology, and global localization leaders gathered. Effective localization strategy prioritizes cultural nuances and buyer behaviors specific to regions and/or countries to increase engagement, conversions, and loyalty. Technology can help shorten the distance between content creation and deployment, making global localization faster and more efficient. A partnership between Contentful and Smartling integrates their platforms to enable quick and streamlined localization of content. To reach customers in a localized fashion, businesses must adopt a better localization strategy that considers native languages, culture, and local trends. Providing a cohesive experience through content personalization is crucial for success in the global marketplace.
