Jeffrey Sandford, CTO of WOVN.io, and Keita Kuno, Content Marketing Manager at favy, will be speaking on website localization at the LocWorld36 Tokyo conference, April 3-5, 2018. The presentation entitled “The Localized Internet’ will take place on April 4th, 2018 at 9:45am – 10:30am at the Tokyo Bay Hilton’s Soara Room.
Around 50% of the internet’s content is in English but less than 30% of its users actually search in English. Why are we leaving out potential customers? In this presentation, we would like to provide attendees with tips and tools to solve the current challenges of website localization. The presentation will revolve around four big topics: content, language selection, search engine optimization and cultural differences. WOVN.io will provide the technical viewpoint and favy will share their own experience localizing their website.
