Why e-commerce businesses need hybrid translations to scale globally

Are you an e-commerce entrepreneur eyeing international markets but worried about language barriers? Expanding globally is thrilling, but the challenge of communicating effectively with diverse audiences can be daunting. Traditional translation methods often fall short, either due to high costs or scalability issues.

Enter Mitlia’s hybrid translation solutions: a blend of machine efficiency and human expertise. In this article, we’ll explore why hybrid translations are essential for e-commerce businesses aiming for global growth and how Mitlia can help you connect with customers worldwide.

The importance of language in e-commerce

Language is more than just words; it’s a key driver of customer trust and purchasing decisions. Studies show that 76% of online shoppers prefer to buy products with information in their native language, and 40% will never purchase from websites in other languages.

If your e-commerce store isn’t speaking your customer’s language, you’re leaving money on the table. That’s where Mitlia’s ecommerce translation solutions come in—helping you localize product descriptions, checkout processes, and marketing materials quickly and accurately.

Challenges of Traditional Translation Methods

Human translation: Accurate but slow and expensive
Hiring professional translators for every language can be costly and time-consuming. Managing constant product updates, seasonal campaigns, and multilingual customer support at scale with human translators alone is often unrealistic.

Machine translation: Fast but inaccurate
While tools like Google Translate can instantly translate large volumes of content, they often miss the context and cultural nuances needed for a great customer experience. Poor translations can confuse customers and damage brand credibility.
This is where Mitlia’s Hybrid Translation Solutions offer the perfect balance between speed, cost, and accuracy.
