Critical lessons for doing business abroad: Global Gurus’ expertise – Part 1
With over 50 episodes and almost 7500 downloads during its first year, our podcast, Global Gurus: Stories of International Business, has been a sterling success. Each episode presents an audio, video and transcript as well as lots of other information.
Translating your content into your prospects’ or customers’ languages is an essential element of the mix. Studies show that most people will only buy when your product or service is presented in their native language. But global expansion involves more than simply translating content. It involves knowledge of what methods are most effective when interacting with other cultures.

Mark Smith, Tom Fuller, and Dan Vega — stress the importance of using Master’s-level translators and professional interpreters for meetings or conferences.
And, finally, a word about Machine Translation. Artificial Intelligence apps can work excellently when professional linguists review the communications to ensure they are correct. This hybrid method is what we at Auerbach International have done for over three decades to guarantee A+ accuracy.
