India can truly become a manufacturing hub due to its mineral wealth and low labour cost as well as abundant work force, apart from technological and managerial skill.
For Indian companies, given the optimism and mood, it is now the right time to launch a full scale global communication to succeed and grow in global market. One of the first steps is globalization of product and services for International market. The next step is to localize the communication by using language and cultural knowledge of different nations to your advantage and initiate website localization.
With less than 30% of Internet users world-wide speaking English as their native language, it does not make any business sense to do global business with your “English Only” Website. The essential needs are website localization in Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Arabic apart from any other regional language of the market where you find the potential exists to succeed.
Product and service information if available for sharing and made interactive in local language and told in a manner which is culturally connecting has the power of increasing traffic to your website. A multilingual website is the solution as the website localized properly will connect culturally and speak in their language. As they say “Think Global. Act Local” Engage with your target audience by speaking in their language and culturally connect by website localization
Let’s take forward “Make-in-India” to make it happen. Make in India and export with “Made in India” stamp.
