Defining your strategy

When you are thinking about your translation strategy you need to firstly work out how you intend to market your product and what types of marketing materials you believe are appropriate for your product.  The content of your advertising material is a key to any strategy that involves digital marketing. The content will be determined once you have decided which countries and which age-groups or other defined groups you are trying to target. You need to tell your translator so that he or she knows how to produce an effective translation. For example, if you intend to target Millennials in different countries the language that should be used effectively may not be the same in a different culture.

Many good translations companies are prepared to choose a translator that best fits your need and the complexity of the translation.
