Audio-Technica

CASE STUDY

Localisation of multimedia headphone eCommerce website into French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Audio-Technica produces an exclusive range of professional, portable and multimedia headphones. At the high end of the headphone market, Audio-Technica required translations that complimented the high quality of its products.

The Audio-Technica headphone range is hugely popular worldwide, especially in Japan, where it is ranked number two, just behind Sony. Despite its global popularity, success in the European market has been constrained due to limited retail distribution. A multilingual eCommerce site was the solution to this problem, therefore localised websites were designed to promote the headphones throughout Europe, directly increasing sales online and driving consumer demand through improved awareness.

With the help of Web-Translations, new websites were successfully launched in French, German, Italian and Spanish. Updates to the site were handled by the same translation and proofreading team to ensure consistency.
