Through my work with various clients, I quickly realized that translation of UX copy is often needed more than we think. However, many companies make the mistake of simply translating their UX copy, hoping it will work for different markets if we just switched the words for their equivalent in the target market’s language. The truth is, this approach rarely leads to success. What’s needed instead is localization—a much deeper process that goes beyond translation to adapt the copy to the culture, values, and preferences of the target audience. In this course, I’ll share what I’ve learned about the power of localization and how it can make or break a product’s success in global markets. And if you’re ready to dive in, let’s get started!
