Effective Globalization practices yield business expansion activities to include potential customers of more than one country. Wouldn’t it be nice if all the 7.7 Billion people of the world would be your customers? Brands like Coca Cola, McDonalds, General Electric and Ford are examples of truly global companies with customers spanning the entire globe. But how do you think they build such a massive customer base in each country?

They Adapt. McDonalds is a company that has adapted its entire menu to meet the demands of the Indian market. And they’ve also done this in Spain, Singapore, France, Germany, South America and other countries. What they’re actually doing is localizing the operations of a global brand to match the requirements of a specific region.

There is no limit to such localization. You can translate and localize everything from your website, videos and marketing material to your research papers, standard operating procedures and product manuals.

Wondering which languages to target? Here are 4 reasons why Spanish is one of them:

  • Spanish Spans the Globe

As the official language of 21 countries, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, after Chinese. As of 2018, more than 41 million people in the United States speak Spanish as a first language and 12 million others are bilingual Spanish speakers in the country. The language is spoken by a total of 400 million + people worldwide.

If the sheer volume of people who speak and understand Spanish isn’t enough, here’s an interesting prediction:

By 2050, the United States is expected to have the largest Spanish speaking population in the world

  • Spanish Education is Growing

While the current number of Spanish speakers is a large number in itself, there are a number of students learning the language as we speak. In American universities, 50% of higher education students pick Spanish as their language elective making it the most studied language in the country and the third worldwide.

  • The Internet is Booming with Spanish

Social media platforms serve as a great way to connect with and influence potential customers. Big brands like Coca Cola and Ford have country specific accounts where their primary language of communication is the national language of the country.

This not only helps build a connection with the audience but also attracts audiences who do not speak English. This might be hard to believe but with 377 million people communicating in Spanish on social media, the language ranks as the second most used languages on social media networks.

  • It Makes Good Business Sense

Telefónica Foundation conducted a research where they found out that bilateral trade increases by about 290% if Spanish is the mutual language of commerce.

Spanish being a global language, businesses miss out on a big opportunity if they don’t reach out to Spanish speaking customers. Considering that 54% of customers prefer to shop on sites or in shops that speak their local language, it’s time you get your team on building a Spanish vocabulary. In the United States, there is a tremendous demand for Spanish speakers in the areas of construction management, nursing, and media, meaning that there is also a need for Spanish translated services for these industries.

But think about this, there are people who prefer other languages over Spanish. If you’re planning to set up a team for each language, you’ll have a minimum of 20 teams just in the language department. That’s a lot for a company not dealing in Language Services.
