Talking to potential customers in their own language can provide the critical edge in generating new leads via your website and driving international business.

From static HTML to database-driven sites, launching an effective multilingual website requires the expertise and resources to fully translate and localize the site in as many languages as required. Comtec has developed a three stage strategy for ensuring your website translation process runs as smoothly as possible and most importantly, to ensure your website delivers against broader business objectives.

It is reported that every UK SME loses an average of 325,000 euros in business because they don't possess the language skills necessary to effectively trade overseas.

There could be significant gains to the whole EU economy if this is addressed, so what can SMEs do to fully optimise their overseas trade?

One million words, eleven languages and 46,000 Land Rovers sold. How Comtec helped Land Rover on its way to boosting sales by 30 percent!

Land Rover is one of the UK's most successful companies. It is one of the country's biggest investors in R&D and the UK's main automotive exporter with sales growing by 30 percent in the last five years. Land Rover brands are desired by buyers around the globe. So what's the secret of that global success?

Part of the story, of course, is world-beating products embracing the latest technology. The other part of the success story is Land Rover's ability to explain those benefits to buyers around the world, in their own languages. From Milan to Moscow,  from Bangalore to Beijing.
