Choose reliable Website Translation Services in Singapore
We all know that the Internet connects businesses to global consumers. But do you know that language, the all-important next level of connection, connects people?
According to the information from Internet World Stats dated 30 June 2022, there are currently 5,385,798,406 internet users worldwide.
Compared to the last report figure of 2,405,518,376 from 2000, this represents a 224% increase in internet users worldwide. This is a huge jump by any standard. It reinforces the importance of the Internet in an era driven by technology.
The current pandemic, although has eased rather significantly, has changed the way we live, work and do business. In terms of work, it has encouraged and made Work-From-Home the default for many worldwide, this could be one of the reasons why there is this huge increase in the number of internet users worldwide. That’s why website translation services in Singapore have become necessary in business today.
Interestingly, although the global commercial language is still predominantly English, its dominance is now being challenged by the Chinese language and other major languages worldwide.
Chinese is now the number 2 language on the Internet, with an internet penetration rate of 60%. At 20% of the total global internet population, the Chinese language users have grown 2650.4% over the last 20 years. That is an average increase of more than 130% yearly since 2000.
Our website translation services in Singapore can ensure you have a globally accepted website that can speak to your global customers.
In fact, our multilingual website translation services are the best strategy you can include for international businesses. We will provide you with a translation that is faithful to your original website so that the messages in the other languages will be consistent with the original website and its intentions.
Our professional linguists have years of experience translating websites from English into multiple languages. Our team will take care of all aspects of the translation process: selecting the best native translators with subject matter expertise best suited for your industry, experience in the translation of similar contents, aware of the local slang and latest terminologies used in the specific locale and ensuring the content is translated correctly, and ensuring that grammatical rules are followed.
The processes for our website translation services are simple and fuss-free. We receive an original copy of the English version of your website either in HTML format or with text extracted in words or excel format, and then we translate it into the language(s) of your choice. After which, the files will be revised and proofread before returning them to you for final validation. Once we have received comments from your reviewers, we will discuss and implement the changes where necessary. The finalized files will be sent to your team for uploading. We can even go through your site for the last-minute quality checks before it goes live.
When expanding into new markets, it is important to ensure that the local audience understands your brand. If you do not know what languages are spoken in the country, or if you do not have a presence there yet, it can be hard to find qualified translators and translate your website.
The temptation to hire a freelancer to handle the translation is obvious, as the cost may seem lower compared to working with a translation company. However, there are so many disadvantages to working with a freelancer that you may end up paying a higher cost and may not even get your translation on time or in good quality. The post-translation support from freelancers is also almost non-existence.
Top ten languages on the internet for Website Translation Service

Over the past 20 years, the English language still dominated the Internet. But its importance is slowly eroding as the percentage of growth of English internet users falls behind the development of other language internet users.
A high percentage growth does not necessarily equate to a high increase in the absolute number of language internet users. For example, in the top ten languages used on the Internet, the language with the highest percentage growth over the past 20 years is Arabic at almost 9400%.
However, in the absolute figure, that only translated to 237,418,349 users. Whereas the Chinese language, at a 2650% growth rate since 2000, its whole figure is three times that of the Arabic language.
Another attractive figure is that English internet users only constitute 26% of the total global internet users.
Where are the biggest group of Internet users from?

Of more than 5 billion internet users worldwide, 53.4% are from Asia. This number is up from the previous figure of almost 45%.
Suppose you consider North America as the stronghold for English internet users. In reality, they only comprise 6.7% of the global figure of more than 5 billion internet users worldwide. This figure has also fallen from the previous indication of 13%. What you must know is that, now, more than 90% of global internet users are outside North America.
Asia is THE MARKET to be in NOW!
We all have limited resources but want to make the most of them. How can you go global with your business without breaking your piggy bank? In that case, Asia is the obvious bet choice now and perhaps for many years.
Why are Website Translation Services and Localization necessary for Websites?
Most businesses have learned from the pandemic that to survive, companies must change how they conduct their businesses.
Solely relying on the domestic market and brick-and-mortar business model is no longer a viable option. To survive, businesses must reach out to the global market to capture every opportunity out there for them.
For a start, to go global, you must have an international website that will speak to diverse audiences and convince them to buy from you.
Most global consumers prefer to buy products from websites that provide them with content and information in their language. That’s why website translation services are essential for every business out there.
Despite this fact, very few businesses are connecting to a global audience. Instead of building a website that caters to various languages, cultures, and customs, many business websites only offer a one-size-fits-all customer experience.
This is not the right way to go in an increasingly globalized world. Research recently published the 2021 Web Globalization Report Card presented a list of the top 25 global websites. They all have one thing in common: they are all multilingual sites.
To extend their global reach, the average number of languages supported by these top 25 websites increased from 12 in 2005 to 33 in 2020.
No matter what you are selling, be it a product or a service; no matter how big or small you are, as soon as you begin selling internationally – or you are planning to do that– translation and localization of your website into the language used in your target market become a necessity.
Big companies are motivated to keep international revenues high and expand their territories through website translation services. For smaller businesses, website translation and localization become a necessary business strategy to help break into the global market for survival.
