Translating your website depends primarily on your activities, services, products and target markets. If your goal is global promotion or you are seeking new markets into which you can expand your business, it is certainly worth considering those where they speak the following languages. These are the most widespread “business” choices in the world.

1

English

~400 million native speakers • 1 billion+ internet users

Of course! English is considered to be a de facto official language of the business world, uniting companies, consumers and other stakeholders around the globe. English is spoken as a mother tongue in almost 100 countries, with some 400 million speakers and also at least a billion internet users. We don’t even need to mention the numerous international economic organizations that function in English…

2

Chinese

~1.3 billion speakers • world’s 2nd largest economy

The Chinese languages are spoken by almost one in six people on the planet. This alone is a good enough reason to consider translating your content into the languages spoken in the region. Moreover, China is not only interesting because of its large market, but also because of its impressive economic growth. Many Chinese companies are global multinational corporations, with incomes measured in billions of euros, partnering with companies around the world. Naturally, these include EU ones.

3

Spanish

~400 million native speakers • 20+ countries

Followed closely by Chinese Mandarin, Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the world, with over 400 million native speakers, so its markets are particularly extensive and it offers a place for thousands of companies. Perhaps yours as well…

4

Arabic

~300 million speakers • 30+ countries

The economy in the Arabian region is booming. If this alone is not convincing enough, you may be impressed by the fact that Arabic is spoken in some 30 countries with over 300 million potential consumers. Yet it is also true that the culture gap between the European and Arabic worlds is quite wide, so you need to be particularly careful and meticulous with such translations.

5

German

~100 million native speakers • 4th most used language online

Did you know that German is the fourth most commonly used language on the internet? Furthermore, the geographical proximity of the German-speaking market represents a wonderful business opportunity for all ambitious companies.

Quality guaranteed

ISO-certified translation quality

All our translations are proofread by an independent native-speaker reviser per ISO 17100, with terminology consistency checks and cultural adaptation. When bridging wide cultural gaps — like European to Arabic — this level of quality control is essential.

6

Portuguese

~260 million native speakers • 9 countries

Portuguese is one of the fastest-growing languages online, spoken across two continents — from Portugal to the powerhouse economy of Brazil. With over 260 million native speakers and Brazil ranking among the world’s top ten economies, Portuguese opens the door to a vibrant and rapidly digitalising consumer market that many European companies are eager to tap into.

7

Hindi

~600 million speakers • world’s 5th largest economy

Hindi is a language spoken in India. In addition to its extensive market, India also boasts a burgeoning economy, one which is expanding into European countries. It is therefore a great opportunity to conquer the Indian market with your ideas. Or to spread the ideas of the Indian market in your home business environment.

Beyond the big seven

The Adriatic region — an overlooked opportunity

While the seven major business languages unlock global reach, the Adriatic and Western Balkan region represents one of Europe’s most dynamic emerging markets — and one that most companies overlook when planning their multilingual strategy.

With a combined population of over 20 million, rapidly growing digital economies, EU accession processes underway, and increasing foreign investment, the Adriatic region offers significant business potential for companies willing to communicate in local languages.

Unlike major world languages, Adriatic markets have far less competition — meaning a well-localised website can dominate local search results and build brand trust faster than in saturated global markets.

Rapid digital growth

E-commerce adoption is surging across the Balkans, with double-digit annual growth in online retail. Early movers with localised content gain a decisive first-mover advantage.

EU integration & investment

With Slovenia and Croatia already EU members and others in the accession pipeline, the region is attracting record foreign direct investment and EU structural funding.

Our home turf

AdriatIQa was founded in the Adriatic region. We have 20+ years of experience, in-house native speakers, and deep cultural knowledge of every market — no other agency matches our regional expertise.

Regional expansion

Italian & neighbouring languages

Italy is a major European economy and a key trade partner for Adriatic businesses. Combined with the neighbouring markets of Central and Southeastern Europe, this cluster of languages represents a powerful regional strategy for companies looking to grow across borders.

Key market

Italian

~65 million native speakers • EU’s 3rd largest economy

Italy is the Adriatic region’s most important economic neighbour, with deep historical trade ties to Slovenia, Croatia, and the wider Balkans. Italian is essential for tourism, manufacturing, fashion, food, and luxury goods sectors.

As a direct neighbour, the Italian-speaking market is within easy reach for Adriatic companies — and with significant Italian-speaking communities in Slovenia and Croatia, bilingual content creates trust on both sides of the border.

Tourism Manufacturing Trade EU institutions

Hungarian

~13 million speakers

Hungary is a key Central European market bordering Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia. With a unique language unrelated to its neighbours, Hungarian localisation requires specialist linguists — which is exactly what we provide.

Austrian German

~9 million speakers

Austria shares direct borders with Slovenia and is a top trade partner across the Adriatic region. Austrian German differs from standard German in vocabulary and tone — our native Austrian linguists ensure the right localisation.

Romanian

19 million speakers. Growing EU economy bordering Serbia, with strong demand for localised content in tech and services.

Greek

11 million speakers. A Mediterranean neighbour with strong ties to the Adriatic through tourism, shipping, and EU cooperation.

Bulgarian

7 million speakers. EU member state neighbouring North Macedonia and Serbia, with growing cross-border business activity.

    FAQ

    Website translation questions answered

    Everything you need to know about translating your website into multiple languages.

    Research shows that 75% of consumers prefer to buy products in their own language, and 90% of internet users never visit English-only sites. A multilingual website builds trust, improves conversions, and opens access to billions of potential customers worldwide.

    Not at all. We recommend starting with the languages most relevant to your target markets and expanding from there. Many clients begin with 2–3 languages and add more as their international business grows.

    Translation converts text from one language to another. Localisation goes further — it adapts the entire website experience including cultural references, date and currency formats, images, colours, SEO metadata, and UI layout for each target market.

    For markets with significant cultural differences, we assign native-speaker linguists with deep cultural knowledge. They adapt not just the language but also imagery, colour choices, reading direction (right-to-left for Arabic), and cultural references to ensure your message resonates appropriately.

    Yes — we translate and optimise SEO metadata (titles, descriptions, alt tags, keywords) for each target language and market. This helps your website rank in local search results, driving organic traffic from each region.

    We use an AI-enhanced workflow that combines LLM-assisted drafting with expert human post-editing. This delivers up to 3× faster turnaround without sacrificing quality — ideal for large multilingual website projects where speed and consistency matter.

    Turnaround depends on the website size, number of target languages, and content complexity. A typical 20–30 page website into one language takes 5–10 business days. For multiple languages, we work in parallel to minimise total delivery time.

    We work with all major CMS platforms including WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and custom-built sites. We accept content in HTML, XLIFF, PO, JSON, CSV, Word, and most other formats used in web development and localisation workflows.

    Yes. Many clients use our services on a continuous basis for blog posts, product updates, landing pages, and seasonal campaigns. We can set up a regular workflow with dedicated linguists who know your brand and terminology.
