SEO Translation vs Localisation
—————————————————
SEO translation and localisation are areas of the translation industry that are rapidly growing and gaining importance. For this reason you may have heard the following phrases more frequently: SEO translation, localisation, keyword localisation, multilingual keyword research, etc. Our latest blog will help you understand these terms and the differences between them.
Word of the Month
Is there anything you could do to make your life more ‘mysig’ (this is the adjective of ‘mysa’)? Such as sitting down with your family for a movie night, baking some fresh cakes, or running yourself a lovely hot bath.
It’s so easy to let life take over and forget about the little things that bring us great joy and happiness. Make sure you make time for those moments both at home and beyond.

What do you think?
In last month’s poll, we asked you:
Complete the sentence with what you think is the correct verb:
“Go and ___ down on the sofa.”
1) lie
2) lay
3) both options work
Lie and lay sound so similar that they could be interchangeable, but they are used to describe completely different actions. 68% of you got the correct answer which is ‘lie’ – this refers to positioning yourself in a reclining position – whereas ‘lay’ is the action of placing something down, such as taking an object and setting it down somewhere.
Head to our Instagram Highlights and LinkedIn for this month’s poll:
Language is a very important part of communication with potential customers. Therefore our poll this month is:
Do you work with international clients/customers?
When working with international clients, communicating in their native language can help to create a trustworthy relationship.
