Approximately 28% of all business is conducted online. Modern technology empowers organizations across all industries to complete market data, reach new audiences, and improve customer convenience. The increase in online business gives companies a broader reach, spurring many to take their brand global. However, international expansion requires more than accessibility—it requires content localization.

In eCommerce, effective global reach requires carefully coordinating countless details. But when the medium fundamentally changes, companies must suddenly take a 10,000-foot view. How will a changing digital infrastructure alter how customers shop and engage with online brands? That's what Web3 invites us to consider, especially regarding the most fundamental medium of exchange: language.

AI continues to change the shape of the world. It's streamlining many processes and making it easier to handle potentially repetitive tasks. When it comes to localization, AI has many crucial benefits. At the same time, however, using AI rather than humans to handle your localization can offer some drawbacks. Whether you're trying to translate content into a different language or ensure that your content focuses on the needs of your entire audience, AI may need more time to be ready to work alone.

Fully digital solutions provide different conveniences than traditional banks. But at the same time, traditional banks present some barriers for potential account holders. The future of an innovative banking system depends on financial firms' ability to meet all their customers' needs. To understand if that's possible, one must consider the rapid growth of digital finance and how it intersects with traditional banking.

Localization is a robust process that involves adapting content, products, or services to suit a specific target market or audience's cultural, linguistic, and regional preferences. The benefits of localization can be far-reaching and impactful across various industries.

How to Leverage Translation Technology to Close the Multilingual Support Gap

Entering and thriving in new markets is a comprehensive effort only possible by considering your website. Multilingual localization will play an essential role. After all, your website is still the most common way for audiences to learn more about your brand, and the way you present yourself here can make all the difference in building your brand.

As AI innovations increase speed and efficiency, they also transform the role of translators, project managers, and other language professionals. This transformation poses a crucial question for anyone in the industry: how do you navigate this new AI-driven landscape? To help you succeed, we’ve compiled four tips based on industry data and trends.

Event attendance is one of the most prominent measures of the success of the event and its overall performance. If you do not have people at your event, it will lower energy levels, decrease your budget, and prevent you from experiencing the benefits you had hoped for when you hosted the event in the first place.

Event marketing starts long before the event itself. To boost event attendance, try these key strategies to get people interested, share information, and encourage them to attend.

Think Global Awards is delighted to announce this year’s shortlisted entrants. The awards program has grown from strength to strength since its inception in 2018. For year six of the awards, the theme, “Making a Difference in a Globally Connected World,” was chosen to highlight how we are all connected worldwide.

There is no denying that videos can play a decisive role in building your brand and promoting your products. What happens if you share your video with a new audience but it simply falls flat?

Investigating the reason for this leads to the cultural subtleties that differentiate audiences from one another. Marketers entering a new market, whether in a new country or simply within a different cultural subculture on their home turf, must ensure that the messaging adjusts to that audience. That is true anywhere, but it might be most evident in the video realm.

Think Global Forum Ambassadors include Patrick Kelly, Thomas Murray, Phil Ritchie, and Unn Villius. These ambassadors help to provide opening addresses for Think Global Forum events and serve as representatives to promote Think Global Forum worldwide.

Business, particularly online business, is global. To not serve an international market is to fall behind your competition. Most companies recognize this and want to do everything they can to reach as large an audience as possible.
