🧠 Why Your Translated Website Isn’t Getting You More Customers (And How to Fix It)

🎯 Pain Point Addressed:

Clients invest in translation hoping to reach more customers... but the results? Meh. This post explains why translation alone isn’t enough—and how localisation, UX, and multilingual SEO play a massive role.

🗂 Suggested Structure:

1. “We Translated Our Website, But Traffic’s Still Low” — Sound Familiar?

Open with a relatable scenario of a business investing in translation and expecting a sales boost—but nothing really changes. Highlight this as a common misconception.

2. Translation vs. Localisation — Big Difference, Big Impact

Break down the difference. Translation = words. Localisation = context, culture, user experience.
Throw in examples:

• “Free shipping” in the US vs. Singapore? Totally different expectations.

• Language direction, date formats, currency, etc.

3. Your Website Needs Multilingual SEO, Not Just Multilingual Text

Explain how SEO isn’t just about keywords in English.

• Talk about meta tags, hreflang tags, search intent per region.

• “Chinese keywords” ≠ “just translate English keywords into Mandarin.”

4. UX and Design Issues: Looks Pretty in English, Breaks in Japanese

Show how poor formatting, broken layouts, or font issues can kill credibility for multilingual users.
