Mobile Platforms

There is no doubt that the best way for your mobile application to reach the most of users it should be in their languages. Let's see, Apple App Store is available in 120 countries, Android Market in 130 and Nokia Ovi Store in over 230 countries. According to the latest researches only 24% of all mobile users speak English. However, the localization of your application to 15 languages gives you ability to reach over 85% of maximum possible.

Software

If you want to create software used by users from all over world, localization is the only way for you to make it happen. Possibility to provide a product with the looks and feeling that it was specially created for the target market with minimized or totally eliminated local sensitivities guarantees your success. There are a lot of statistics that effectively illustrate the need to localize software for each target market. For example:

72%of consumers say they would be more likely to buy a product with information in their own language (CSA, Can't Read, Won't Buy: Why Language Matters on Global Websites).
56% of consumers say that the ability to obtain information in their own language is more important than price (CSA, Can't Read, Won't Buy: Why Language Matters on Global Websites).
74% percent of multinational enterprises believe it is either important or most important to achieve increased revenues from global operations. (California State University at Chico, 2007)
