What Choice Do You Have?<br />

Most of your potential market or audience across the world does not speak your language<br />

(even if that language is English.) Consider the following statistics too:<br />

● Over 72% of consumers said there was a bigger chance they would buy from a website if it<br />

was in their native language, according to a recent eight country survey.<br />

● 42% of European Union consumers do not buy products or services presented in a foreign<br />

language, even if they are fluent in that language.<br />

● 95% of Chinese consumers do not buy products or services presented in a foreign<br />

language, even if they are fluent in that language. And remember, there are also different<br />

versions of Chinese within China too. Meanwhile, there are now considerably more<br />

Chinese web users than US web users.<br />

● The dominance of English as an Internet language has dropped to 3% or less in recent<br />

years, compared to a 26% margin in 2000.<br />

So, localization in general may not be a choice, but a necessity. However, <strong>RoI</strong> considerations<br />

may push you towards a certain priority for your localizations. Naturally, it makes sense to<br />

serve bigger, more profitable markets for your app or website first.<br />
