You understand the value of localizing your company's website for global markets. But it's possible that not all decision makers within your company share your perspective. They might need more convincing.
In this new blog series, we help you position the value of MotionPoint’s solution to various stakeholders within your company. This week, we’ll address common questions and concerns your IT Director or manager might have about our approach.
If you're taking on website translation in-house, managing the specialized technology and processes that support a multilingual website are technically and operationally complex, and time-intensive. The additional tasks you'll take will either get lost in your backlog, or pull resources away from overseeing your primary-market website.
For instance: You'll have to set up tools and workflows that detect when new content is published on your primary site, process it for translation, and integrate that translated content back into your system. These processes happen not just once, but on an ongoing basis.
These specialized tasks go beyond your IT team's core competencies. They'll lead to inefficiencies caused by an overworked, overwhelmed team.
With other approaches, IT teams must set up new, complicated tools and workflows. This often leads to delays and inefficiencies.
Also, the effort you'll invest with an in-house approach will exponentially increase based on the complexity of your website. As an example, the more dynamically-loaded or third-party content your site uses, the more complicated and costly your translation processes will wind up being.
MotionPoint’s fully turn-key proxy solution eliminates the complex workload associated with translation and the ongoing maintenance of a localized website with efficient technologies and expert personnel.
Your IT team can focus on operating and continually improving your primary-market website while MotionPoint handles the rest.
MotionPoint's proxy solution leverages your existing code and content to replicate the experience of your primary-market website. Any changes made on the primary website-from features to functionality-will automatically be reflected on the translated website.
The only code changes MotionPoint ever makes are when you request them. An example of this might be displaying customized content for customers in specific markets.
