3 outcomes Measured impact

The client served a local customer base that was both French- and Arabic-speaking. Offering the store in both languages was essential to reach all of its customers without maintaining two separate sites. What was needed was a single store able to display both the interface and the product pages in both languages.

The bilingual store handles translations of the interface, product pages and transactional emails within a centralized system. The catalog is managed once and automatically displays in the language chosen by the visitor.

What was delivered

Bilingual French/Arabic support made it possible to reach the entire customer base without managing multiple separate sites.

Full display in both languages removed purchasing barriers for Arabic-speaking and French-speaking customers alike.

Catalog management with categories and filters improved the shopping experience.

Order tracking and invoicing professionalized the client's sales process.
