Don't be afraid of multilingual website

Weebly is an excellent tool to easily create websites in minutes without coding knowledge. Millions around the world use Weebly to start their own business, sell online, showcase their achievements and communicate with their visitors. However, many offer their business site only in one single language. Why is that? There is so much more potential users and visitors out there who just don't understand what you are saying or offering. Businesses could easily multiply their traffic by offering their site in other languages as well.

Why should you do it?

Typical answers, when asking why don't you offer your site in other languages, are that it's too hard with Weebly, it's too complicated, it's too expensive or I cannot serve my users in language that I don't understand. All these are only excuses! Weebly recently opened its App Center and you may find Localize Internet there to tackle the first three excuses. The fourth one is in your mind.

Can I offer my site in multiple languages if I don't understand all the languages?

Yes, You can! Picking up correct languages to your site, you will increase traffic tremendously. You don't have to worry about knowing all the languages but to make sure new people will understand enough to know what's your site or product is about. It's crucial for any business to demonstrate and tell their story in an understandable to create interest. If the interest disappears when coming to site and not understanding it they will not continue. Offering enough information in their language increases the interest - potentially buying the product or subscribing the service. It's very simple to translate Weebly website yourself with Localize Internet. For the languages you don't know Localize Internet offers machine translations as well as professional translations to have the site up and running in multiple languages quickly and easily.

Not all pages need to be translated. You may choose to translate your landing page and product page and leave out blog. Think of what is enough to create the interest. You may still offer your support only in one language but at least the knowledge and interest in there for user, visitor or buyer to continue further.

Why you should translate your Weebly website and how to do it?

Weebly is a great product to make websites easily, just by dragging and dropping elements - no coding necessary. You can build professional looking website, eCommerce or blog in minutes. All this is super!

So you've made a great looking website with superb content on it. You have written all your text in one language - let's say English as it is many times the case. People are starting to visit your website. Everything seems to go as planned. But is it really the case? 

Missing most of the potential audience

Translating website in multiple languages has many benefits. Few facts:

  • 27% of internet users speak native English yet 57% of websites are only in English
  • 72% spend most or all of their time on websites in their native language
  • Over 50% will buy more likely if the website is in their native language
  • Over 50% of consumers think that native language is more important than price

Looking at these facts you can easily see that you are missing over 50% of the worlds internet population just by not offering your site on other languages. You can do much just by adding Spanish, Chinese and Portuguese but you can actually reach 90% of global online economy by offering your website in 13 languages. 

Translations and localization is easier to explain in Europe and Asia where you can find several languages inside the regions. How about in US? First thought can be that English is enough. However, even if you target only US market it's highly recommended to translate website at least in Spanish. The latino population US would be in top 20 economies in the world if it would be a country of it's own. It's huge potential you don't want to miss.

It's not just about understanding website

When asking why website should be translated, the answer is mainly so that page visitors can understand it. Website admins argue that using Google Translate widget is enough and page visitors can choose the language they prefer. Why translate then? Google Translate widget won't help you if visitors cannot find your site in the first place.

As mentioned, 72% spend most or all of their time in websites in their native language. They also search in their native language and if your website is not in the language they search they won't end up to your site - ever. Translations are important for search engine optimization (SEO). SEO is more important reason to translate website than visitors understanding it. Quality helps with SEO and understanding the content. For this reason, it is recommended to use professional translators or translate yourself if you know the language than use machine translations - at least for the few main languages. One can expand reach and save money by using machine translations in couple of additional languages but not with the widget but build in solution.

Localize Internet provides search engine optimized website translations without coding. Websites made with e.g. Weebly can be easily translated and translations can be added to the site simple and quickly. One can use our professional translator network or translate yourself with our in-context translation UI. Localize Internet provides meta tags and sitemaps for search engine optimization in all translated languages.
