​How a Translation Management Software can increase your global marketing success<br />

Localization is ​not just about content translation​. It includes a wide range of activities and<br />

strategies to make a product suitable for different markets, while maintaining a unique global<br />

brand image.<br />

Evernote​, for example, managed to localize for various markets, maintaining global<br />

consistency, and still considering local preferences. From ​Brazil​, to ​Italy​ and ​China​, this handy<br />

app has managed to register more than 100 million users — by being global and local at the<br />

same time. Now, more than 75% of Evernote users come from outside the US. What’s more, the<br />

company attracts about 100,000 new customers every day.<br />

Evernote has the same logo (the elephant) and colors (white, grey and green) all over the world.<br />

However, they mixed up their strategy to enter the Chinese market. They crafted a new brand<br />

image, by translating their name into Yinxiang Biji ( 印 象 笔 记 ), which means Memory Note (or<br />

Impression Notes). They also had to integrate with local social networks, like Weibo and<br />

WeChat, and provide real-time customer support.<br />

Going through such a high volume of work manually would add up to thousands of hours,<br />

hundreds of emails and a lot of money spent inefficiently. Using ​spreadsheets​ and organizing<br />

conference calls at impossible hours, as well.<br />

Whether you have a large or small company, you need all the help you can get when it comes to<br />

localization. Otherwise, you’ll skip important details, miss deadlines and end up with crucial<br />

errors that can transform your localization project into failure.<br />
