When we think of personalization, we might picture things like customized product recommendations, focused advertising, and similar things. However, when thinking about personalization, language and multilingual brand presence is a crucial but frequently disregarded factor. Today, it is essential to have your website and its content available in a language that visitors can understand, especially given that 88% of customers are likely to leave your site after a negative experience that is lead by language barriers.
Most businesses are advised to evolve at the same rate as technology, as of today multilingual technology is taking over the business world. Starting with a multilingual website, going multilingual has the potential to completely transform a brand and make it competitive.
In this blog, we’ll look at how a multilingual website can help your business today and how businesses can use Reverie’s Transliteration API, an industry leading transliteration solution to build a multilingual brand presence online.

What is transliteration, and how is it unique from translation?
If a brand wants to build relationships with its customers across India, it should always speak in the language of its target audience rather than focusing on a single, commonly used language. In this case, a transliteration solution like Transliteration API is needed to satisfy native speakers and reach potential new audiences across geographic boundaries.
When you transliterate, texts are transformed from one script to another based on phonetic similarity. The text is presented using scripts from various languages, but the original text’s pronunciation, grammar, and sense are still preserved in the new characters. Since localization is crucial without compromising meaning, transliteration is used when translating names, addresses, titles, and more into Indian languages.
For example, transliterated text for the Address- Reverie Language Technologies Limited Limited, 5th Floor,Jio Avana, 39/14, Sarjapur – Marathahalli Rd, Iblur Village, Bellandur, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560102 would be रेवरी लैंग्वेज टेक्नोलॉजीज लिमिटेड, 5थ फ्लोर,जिओ आवना, 39/14, सरजापुर – मरथाहल्ली रोड, ईब्लूर विलेज, बेलंदूर, बेंगलुरु, कर्नाटक 560102.
When a word is translated, its original meaning is taken from the source text and replaced with its equivalent in the target language. Using an online translator frequently results in transliteration or transcription rather than a true translation. Because of this, the “translation’s” outcomes frequently lack coherence.
