Americans have gotten very used to doing business across borders in English &#8211; so why translate at all?</p>
<p>1.  Shows respect for your clients, customers and foreign employees</p>
<p>2.  Studies have shown that people are 40% more likely to buy from a company if they can read the materials in their native language</p>
<p>3.  Marketing materials will convey your brand/image appropriately.  Especially for Websites &#8211; Search Engine Optimization occurs in the foreign customer&#8217;s language of search</p>
<p>4.  Sets you apart from your competition because they are probably marketing in English</p>
<p>5.  Helps protect you in legal issues as the instructions, service or technical documents will be better understood</p>
<p>Take the time and money to ensure you are communicating clearly to your global market.</p>
