Gamers are passionate and have high expectations from the games they play, especially with the sheer number of available games. They want to interact with their favorite games in their native language. If you do not take the time to localize your game, gamers may decide to play another one instead.

The process of transforming content to fit into the local language and cultural background is localization. Nearly 60% of consumers think that the ability to obtain information in their own language is more important than the product price. This is also applicable to the game industry.

Blockchain technology has been touted as one of the most revolutionary pieces of tech to have been invented; however, despite its hype, it largely remains an underused technology. Contrary to popular belief, blockchain has been around since the late 60s, and its adoption rate has been slowly creeping up, year after year. Many hope to see it become part of our mainstream financial systems this decade.

As a company with global ambitions, expanding into new markets is a vital step. An expansion will likely require a localized website that fits your target market. But before you can even translate your website’s content, you must first internationalize it.

Recently, the European Parliament and the Council have produced one of the lengthiest and most thorough pieces of legislation in EU history, called the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). It regulates every possible aspect of medical devices across the entirety of the European Union.

You may think that by being located outside of the EU this regulation does not affect you, but you’d be wrong. The MDR affects all the medical devices that enter the EU markets, whether they are produced in Europe or other continents. If you do not take your time to learn about it and upgrade your operation to become MDR compliant you could face some serious future issues:

Various advances in logistics, shipping, and technology have made it easier and cheaper for businesses to enter international markets than ever before. Yet for all the technological breakthroughs available at their disposal, some barriers still loom large, namely, language and culture. This barrier could be solved through appropriate e-commerce localization; however, it is this barrier that companies misunderstand and therefore fail to scale well.
