OK, so the foreign language queries come in - what next?

• Foreign Language Support Needed

If the queries come in a language you don't know, you can use either Google Translate or (depending on the language) DeepL to translate the message you've received.

However, when the volumes pick up, to better support these opportunities, you may need to create :

1. Add foreign language sections to your Home Site.
2. Prepare marketing material, price lists, catalogues etc. in one or more foreign languages.

Do not use Google Translate or DeepL for these translations. In order to prepare material which will effectively communicate your messages, you should use a professional, mother-tongue translator.

Pricing: This will depend upon: (a) the length of the translation (b) the languages involved (c) the complexity of the text and (d) whether you require an "Official Translation".

There are a number of translating services available. However, we recommend that you at least request a free, no obligation quote, from PAB Languages just click here.
