Starting to use Phrase was like switching from riding a bicycle to driving a car.
We were able to reduce our turnaround time for translations by 80%.
We explored multiple localization solutions, but Phrase emerged as the indisputable frontrunner. Thanks to Phrase we have more control over our timelines. The languages team turns around a localization request in about a week, and this is never in doubt.
Phrase has become an indispensable part of our localization strategy at BlaBlaCar. Our plans include scaling the range of materials localized within the Phrase platform, particularly our help center and customer relationship content. This in turn will bolster business, improve customer satisfaction, and drive loyalty. This strategic shift reflects the efficiency gains we’ve achieved through Phrase and our commitment to delivering top-quality services to our customers globally through streamlined translation and localization processes.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here to field your questions on website localization
What is the difference between website localization and website translation?
Website translation is usually referred to as the pure translation of the text elements. Website localization describes the broader process of adapting a website to a target market. This includes adapting date formats, currencies and measurements, selecting images, colors and other brand elements that are culturally suitable to the target audience.
What are the best practices for handling multilingual SEO?
It is not always the literal translation of a search engine optimization (SEO) keyword that has the highest search volumes in your target market. We recommend doing keyword research prior to your website translation and creating a term base with keywords and their SEO-optimized translations. That way, you can make sure translators use the terms that are most useful to help your page rank well.
Does Phrase support transcreation workflows for websites?
Yes, Phrase provides great visual context in the translation editor. That way, linguists can transcreate new copy for a website instead of translating it. With the help of a preview, they can see what their copy will look like in the finished page.
