SaaS Localization: What You Should Know

SaaS localization is probably a rather strange concept to consumers. However, it is not difficult to comprehend that SaaS (software as a service) is a cloud-based service offered by providers to end customers.

In simpler words, SaaS allows you to access a program using a web browser rather than downloading and installing it as in the traditional method. As a result, SaaS localization necessitates a thorough and precise approach for each product.

SaaS goods must always be available instantly to fulfill the immediate needs of clients. Suppliers should keep the following considerations in mind when implementing this complex strategy: 

Target market 

To begin with, properly defining the target market allows for product development and testing. It could be a country or simply a territory that speaks the same language. 

Furthermore, research the target market to determine market size, identify consumers and their demands, and alter products or add features to match that market. 

Localization 

The development of SaaS and websites tailored to the specific language, culture, regulatory requirements and needs of the market and region marks the first successful step of its kind in that market.

Changes in words, logos, or slogans should not be taken for granted, because focusing on modifying the content and form that corresponds with your brand can result in unanticipated effects.

SaaS localization has always been a critical component of market expansion and attract new clients in other regions. This guarantees that the product is relevant and appealing to consumers. 

Content should be updated. 

To ensure that SaaS continues to satisfy the needs of daily users, time, human resources, technology, and money must be allocated intelligently.

When this occurs, your team must collaborate with a team of external technical and language experts, or harness software and technology to develop content targeted to clients’ demands. 

Observe and change 

Developing a strategy for tracking customer needs and feedback is helpful in tailoring your product.

You can know your product’s position in the market through receiving customer feedback and SEO strategy is effective or not through consumer behavior research.

After that, refine products and SEO content in your SaaS development strategy. 

In addition, testing localization and SaaS helps expand the visibility of the original product and market to have the best business options in the trend of multi-language and multicultural integration. 

In short, SaaS localization is not an easy process, but it is not impossible. Today, with the rapid growth of translation services, it is certainly easier than ever to localize SaaS.

Several well-known Western corporations have had difficulties when translating their marketing text into Chinese. Coca-Cola was originally translated into Chinese as “bite the wax tadpole” or “female horse stuffed with wax”, depending on your dialect. In a desperate attempt to modify their Chinese moniker, Coke examined 40,000 Chinese letters for the phonetic equivalent, “kekoukele,” which means “happy in the mouth” in Chinese. This example demonstrates how even little translation errors can have a significant impact on the final message.
