In the age of globalization, an online store must go global to increase its sales. You can not allow to leave markets on their own, in which then perhaps the next competitor becomes large.
Shop operators need various new options in their store software for this. Functions must already be integrated here to ensure success.
Shop software without language barrier
One of the biggest challenges for online companies operating worldwide: the language barrier. English can not be used in every region.Shop operators need ready-translated shop software, which means ready-made hundreds of translations for every language and every single element from the "sign in" link to the "buy" button in the shopping cart.
In addition, there is not only the Latin alphabet, but diverse writing systems such as Greek or Cyrillic.
Reading direction and store layout
Arabic languages are read and written from right to left in addition to acompletelydifferentalphabet. These RTL languages may not be supported in an outdated online store, because the store layout must also becompletelymirroredfor this.Like any other language, "right-to-left language" has its own user base. The percentage of people who use languages in this Reading Direction is huge. As is the number of your potential new customers. That's why store operators need to consider linguistic flexibility in their online store - and may have to buy it in addition or have it laboriously developed themselves. Not so with Smartstore!
