FAQs about translations in e-commerce
You will find short answers to the most important questions about translations in e-commerce here.
What does KERN's e-commerce service include?
Our e-commerce services include professional translation and localization of your web shop—including product descriptions, category pages, and service pages—to ensure that your online shop is internationally understandable and compliant with local market requirements.
What content from an online shop is typically translated and localized?
Product names and descriptions, category pages, texts on shipping and payment, legal notices, user guidance, and navigation are translated. That ensures the shop is adapted to the target market in terms of language and culture.
Why is it worth localizing your web shop rather than just translating it?
That's because localization takes into account not only language, but also cultural, legal, and market-specific characteristics (e.g. currency, units of measurement, and legal notices). This increases user confidence, improves user experience, and boosts conversion rates.
How does KERN ensure that many products can be translated efficiently?
For large product catalogs, KERN uses terminology databases and translation memory systems. That ensures terms remain consistent and that the translation process is systematic and time-efficient.
Does KERN also support SEO optimization for multilingual shops?
Yes—as part of localization, KERN translates content in an SEO-optimized way, so that product pages and categories can also be easily found in other languages, increasing your international visibility.
What does the localization process for a web shop look like—from the initial order to the finished multilingual site?
As a rule, we first identify all of your shop's content (products, categories, legal texts, etc.), translate and localize it, check SEO and legal compliance, and deliver print- or web-ready versions back to you, ready to be uploaded to your shop system.
What are the advantages of a professional translation by an agency such as KERN over machine translations or translations done by yourself?
Professional translators ensure linguistic precision, cultural and legal adaptation, consistent terminology, and quality control—usually with better conversion and market impact than simple automated solutions.
