The Importance of Professional Translations in the World After Covid

As the world slowly navigates its way to some semblance of a “new normal”, business owners are beginning to identify unique ways to connect with the world around them. And now that much of the market communication relies on digital approaches, local, national, and international business relationships will have to be reimagined.

 As always though, professional translators will be a valuable commodity during this transition, possibly even more than ever before.

Professional Translators are Necessary for the Post-Pandemic Market

Translators have always had a place in the market, meeting very real needs and connecting people in an important way. But, in the world after Covid-19, translators may play a more pivotal role than before. This is because market behaviors have changed, and people are more connected than they’ve ever been. They’re looking for solutions way outside their typical bubble, and those available in their native language will get more attention. In this article, we’re discussing the value professional translators bring to the world after Covid and three ways your business can benefit from their services.

Professional Translation Services Will Help Reconnect Global Relationships

Translation services aren’t limited to the leisure and travel industries, and this is especially true in this new normal. These professional services are now necessary for supporting the world as it opens back up. They are required for reaching and connecting people, many of whom are now online, in a way that’s never been seen before.

 Throughout the pandemic, high-quality translation companies (like GlobalSpeak Translations) stayed up-to-date and in the loop. They learned to properly translate new terminology like “social distancing” and “Coronavirus”, and adapted to adjusted safety measures and practices. Believe it or not, these services have remained incredibly essential for many different reasons. The three most important benefits offered by professional translation services in the new normal include:

 1.   They Can Help Your Business Reach Virtual Customers

The way that people shop has been forever changed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. They’re purchasing from businesses they’ve never before heard of, and shopping far outside their typical bubble. Clients and customers are no longer limited to the companies located within their communities, but instead, have the entire globe available to them. And they’re definitely taking advantage. Research shows that in 2020, an estimated 70% of shoppers made at least one purchase outside of their home country.1 And when it comes to the younger, more digitally-fluent consumers, this number jumped up to 10 purchases in one year.

 More than anything else, behavior like this highlights the connection brought to the world by the Internet. Not only are we able to communicate with people across the world because of it, but we can also use it to support each other and develop business relationships. This is why translation is so important. Reaching someone in their own native language connects with them in a meaningful way, and catches their attention immediately. If you want your business to reach the never ending pool of virtual customers, professional translation should be a consideration.

2.   Professional Translations Nurture Business Relationships

Shoppers, clients, and customers aren’t the only ones looking outside their borders for new relationships. The ‘New Normal’ is also the perfect opportunity for building business connections that could last for years. While remote and distance contracts and employments have always been available, they’ve never been so popular. And, if organizations want to stay relevant, they’re going to have to start thinking about the importance of translation.

 Cut through the difficulty of finding a qualified, valuable employee who will fit into your company’s culture. Instead, open your job opportunity to the global workforce and see what comes up. Have your job posting translated professionally, and consider the benefits of including another language in your onboarding strategy. In this world, global relationships are everything.
