How it works · Localization

Written for each market. True to your source.

Not your site run through a translator. Each market gets copy that reads as if it were written there, shaped by a guide for that market, and it stays true to your source when your source changes.

Where translated sites go wrong

Translated is not localized. And translated falls behind.

Most localized sites are the source site, converted. Every word can be right and the page still reads as if it came from somewhere else. Then the source changes, and the markets don’t.

01 · It reads foreign

Correct words, wrong voice.

Register, formality, the way a company speaks to another company. Buyers feel it even when they can’t name it, and in some markets it decides whether you are taken seriously.

German, translatedSchreib uns, wann du willst.Informal du, on a first contact. A real misstep in German B2B.
02 · It falls behind

Your source moves. The markets don’t.

Localized sites don’t fail at launch. They fail the first time your source changes and nobody tells them. In regulated industries, that gap is a compliance problem.

How it works

Your source, through a guide for each market.

We start from what you already approved, in whatever language your source is written. Then each market’s guide changes only what that market needs changed, and a native reviewer signs it off.

01

Start from your source

Your approved content, in its own language. Nothing is written from scratch per market.

02

A guide for each market

It records only what that market changes: voice, register, calls to action, channels, formatting, and legal pages.

03

Native B2B review

A native copywriter who writes for business buyers signs off every line. It is where machine translation fails.

04

Kept in step

When your source changes, every market built from it is flagged and brought up to date.

Findings by market

Findings only that market would have.

A check against your source catches what a page says. A check against the market’s guide catches how it says it there. None of these would show up on your US site.

Not every market is China

Some markets change a lot. Some change a little. We tell you which.

A guide that pretends Germany is as different as China would be padding. Each guide is as long as its market needs, and no longer.

What every market shares

One memory, one set of terms, the review each claim needs.

The guides make each market its own. These keep them all consistent, and make every market cheaper than the last.

Translation memory

Translated once, reused for good

Every approved sentence is reused, not translated again, so wording stays consistent and each market costs less as the memory grows.

Your terms

The same name, every time

Your product names and key terms, agreed per market and held across every page, deck, and vendor.

Regulated content

The review it needs

Claims that face more scrutiny in a market go through the review that market requires before they publish.

A localized site is one of your surfaces, no more central than your source site. Its findings come first, worst first, and Watch or Run works the same way: your team fixes them, or ours does.

Ask for a first read

See one of your markets through its own eyes.

Tell us a localized site. We read a few pages against the guide for that market, free, and send you what we find.
