Many people find English to be an easy and readable language. However, many do not know the fundamentals of the language.
Regarding apps, those in the English language perform better among English-speaking countries and English-speaking people. This blog is intended for the average user who does not understand the flow of basic English.
Using localisation and internationalisation features in applications makes them liable to target audiences who use languages other than English. Even though the English language is widely used, applications and websites limited to the said language are not beneficial to the people who don't practice it.
The point is we must create an application for those who are unable to read or write in English.
Multilingualism
The feature of supporting many languages on an application is called multilingualism. In general, there are two ways of applying it. One supports the system's preferred language, and the other supports languages displayed on the screen and handled from there.
Features of Multilingual in Mobile Applications
Let's take a closer look at why we should use the multilingual feature in our mobile app.
Globalizes and Adds Value to the Product
Including the multilingual feature in any app helps globalise the app in the market. App globalisation is very important as it contributes to the worldwide recognition of the app and drastically increases the reach of the app users.
Localisation and internationalisation provide the product with fresh reach, takes them places and opens new opportunities, which is the major goal of most application team and companies.
Gives a Grasp on Keyword Variations
When focusing on a single language, we are only searching for keywords that are specific to one. However, implementing the multilingual feature allows us to look into different keywords and learn more about them and their meanings. It helps us learn the local languages, which can be fruitful in our personal and professional lives. It also aims to support the application as users are more interested in using apps in their own language.
Removes Language Barrier
Most of the time, people are interested in using an app, but there's a chance of a language barrier. In that case, they look for a local language-supported app in the app markets.
Building applications to support many languages helps both the makers and the users. It creates a familiar connection between the two of them due to the removal of the language barrier. This makes the local users want to rely on us for future releases as they expect something they want and understand.
Ease of Getting Translations
If you think implementing the multilingual features in an app is expensive, it means you do not want to invest time and effort into your products. This does not give the product a good look as you are unwilling to put in the effort.
If the investment is done with proper calculations and in the proper places, it will return a positive user experience and increase the number of app installations. People looking for localised versions and not having the availability of the preferred language might result in user disappointment. They cannot use any needed functionality, which leaves them with the choice of depending on alternative searches.
High Usability of Application
Implementing this feature will cause more people to use the products as the company supports multiple languages. They took the time to learn about our concept while looking for other apps with comparable usage. It is possible they will get interested in our other products. We are expanding because our user base is growing.
Additionally, our items are capable of entering the market. Preparing for the global market makes us confident as it demonstrates our concern for users who do not understand English.
Productive Application
Multilanguage-supportive apps provide us with a large number of users. Many of whom are regular and active customers who help us increase our revenue. They believe in us regarding many products because they know we are concerned about their needs. We are upgrading with every product with the help of consistent research and development.
Conclusion
Customer service and routine maintenance are the two most important aspects of product support. Building a large, feature-rich application is nothing special if the users cannot use it. As a result, we must focus on user needs and their ease of use.
According to a Distmo study, apps with multilanguage support generate 20% more revenue than standard apps. Support for many languages in our application ensures our long-term success.
It assists us in reducing competition and becoming the market leader in the app market. As we already know, supporting more than one language is not as expensive because the outcome is more interesting and valuable to us.
