AI-Powered Localization: The Leading Trend
As industries like healthcare and finance rapidly embrace AI, its transformative impact is especially potent in the 2024 localization trends. At Taia, we leverage AI and ML technologies like Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to enhance both the accuracy and cultural relevance of translations.
These AI-driven tools go beyond automation, understanding idioms, cultural nuances, and even local dialects. As 2024 progresses, the integration of AI in localization, exemplified by Taia’s advanced solutions, is becoming indispensable for global businesses seeking efficient, accurate, and culturally resonant communication.
The Rise of Specialized Services: Transcreation and Technical Translation
Specialized services like transcreation and technical translation are gaining traction and quickly becoming a notable trend in the localization landscape. Transcreation extends beyond literal translation, incorporating cultural nuances and emotional contexts, especially crucial in marketing and advertising. Technical translation, on the other hand, focuses on precision in fields like IT and healthcare, necessitating specialized expertise.
Expanding Horizons with Emerging Localization Trends: Video and Audio Translation
Face it, it’s been almost a decade now since text-only marketing just won’t cut it. Your brand needs to adopt multimedia in order to engage with your potential audience.
At the forefront of localization trends, video and audio translation services are experiencing a surge in demand, propelled by the need to engage a global audience with diverse multimedia content. This trend underscores the necessity for translations that are linguistically accurate and culturally attuned.
Automated AI voiceovers are beginning to become mainstream, but some studies have shown that users prefer decent subtitles over a robotic voice any day. We can utilize tools like OpenAI’s Whisper to generate natural-sounding VOs over a multitude of languages, but without a decent translation first, they’re still going to sound like rubbish.
Always add subtitles to your videos and make sure they’re not just AI-generated if you cherish your audience. And here’s a BONUS PRO TIP: you can use tools like Microsoft Clipchamp to quickly generate an .SRT file. Make sure to fix the transcription or send it over to our team at Taia and will handle it for you. Then we can easily translate that using AI with professional translation services.
Multilingual SEO: A Localization Trend Shaping Global Markets
Generative AI has hit online marketing on all fronts in 2023, but expect things in the realm of SEO to go even crazier in 2024. With the latest updates announced which are coming to Google Search in early 2024, your content strategy and content localization will need to adapt too.
Multilingual SEO thus naturally emerges as a key trend in 2024’s localization industry. It stands out as a crucial strategy for businesses aiming to expand their international presence. At Taia, we specialize in optimizing content across various languages and cultural contexts, a process that is instrumental in enhancing visibility in international markets and improving the user experience for a diverse audience.
Multilingual SEO is not just about literal translation of keywords; it involves a deep understanding of cultural nuances and search behaviors in different regions. We at Taia recognize that what resonates in one market may not have the same impact in another. Our approach is to tailor SEO strategies to each locale, ensuring that content is not only linguistically accurate but also culturally relevant and engaging.
As we move further into 2024, the importance of multilingual SEO will only grow. So make sure to find an SEO localization expert you can trust, since things are about to get bumpy! Hey, we’re happy to help 😀
Multilingual Customer Support: Enhancing Global Communication
There’s no going around it—if you want to scale fast, you need to grow across multiple markets. And if you want to conquer multiple markets, you’re going to need decent customer support in multiple languages.
With the advent of Custom GPTs we can make this simple and effective. At Taia, we can translate and fine tune your support content knowledge base, then train a custom AI chatbot with that content so that your international users can get a helpful assistant while you can keep your costs down.
Overall, the trend in the localization industry is expected to continue growing in 2024, with an increasing number of organizations utilizing translated content as a way to reach international markets faster. As with many other industries currently, AI is the leading driving force behind expedited change, affecting not only how content is localized but also how the content that is about to be translated is created in the first place.
An increasing interest in multimedia content and the changing nature of SEO will affect the trends in localization to shift even more to AI-assisted or full AI-powered translation services, just like what our team at Taia is doing already.
Let us know what you think will be the major localization trend in 2024 and how will you adapt your localization strategy to utilize the emerging technologies!
