Only 39% of the French population reports being able to speak English to some degree. As a result, 60% of French shoppers claim they don't shop on foreign websites due to a lack of trust. In order to sell to the French, you need to speak their language and have a local presence.
Your content is full of creativity and cultural references that reflect your brand’s identity. Machine translation sounds flat and awkward at best, gibberish and incorrect at worst. A creative translator will help you reach your target audience with catchy, localised content that stays true to your brand voice.
SEO localisation should be part of your translation strategy: your potential customers need to be able to find you before they can buy from you. Each target country has its own search habits and cultural preferences, which only a professional SEO translator will be able to handle correctly and efficiently.
Marketing content often comes with extra challenges: character restrictions, clever slogans, style guides, HTML tags, specific Amazon guidelines... Machines are unable to use creativity to solve those issues – they need to be handled by an experienced professional.
A friendly translator will get to know your brand, offer creative and cultural guidance and deliver localised content you'll be proud of. Developing a great working relationship with your translator is the best way to give your global expansion a fighting chance.
From supply chain and legal requirements to compliance and financial implications, you’ve worked hard to get your brand ready for global growth. Professional translation is another vital piece to your success abroad - why risk a machine ruining all your efforts?
CAT tools, online dictionaries, research, terminology management, QA software… Professional translators know how to use technology to make the translation process as efficient as possible. We just don’t trust machines blindly to do the job for us, and neither should you!

Work sampleClementine's diligence and ability to adapt content for different target audiences goes beyond traditional translation to eCommerce localisation that truly helps brands impact the French market. A joy to work with, Clementine is professional, reliable, inquisitive and dedicated to the best outcome.
I cannot recommend working with Clémentine enough! We worked with her on our Amazon ASINs where she did the MTPE (Machine Translation Post Editing). Not only was she super timely with delivering all tasks according to deadlines, but she also helped improve the English copy where needed. Without her keen eye for details a couple of embarrassing typos would have made it into the world. Her knowledge of Amazon SEO was super helpful! While taking the effort to getting to know our products, she also was very fast and delivered everything in high quality. A true gem to have in the team, in-house as well as freelance!
