There’s no need to delve into the statistics to realize that videos are an impactful and important channel for your business’s communication with your clientele. If you want to interact with web users and increase your visibility across the net, videos are an essential avenue.
- 80% of visitors are likely to watch a video whereas only 20% are likely to read your site’s content.
- 99% of the information your brain receives is visual in nature. Video is a great medium because customers are much more likely to be affected by images rather than text.
- In 2019, 80% of Internet data traffic is related to video.
So, you’ve created some audiovisual content, but you aren’t sure how to get more views and shares… Have you thought about distributing it internationally? In order to successfully reach an international audience, you’ll need multilingual subtitles.
Why should you provide multilingual versions of your audiovisual content?
- Better natural referencing
If you’ve created and uploaded a number of videos, but find yourself taken aback that you haven’t seen a boost in your indexing on search engines, you should know this is a normal state of affairs. Search engines cannot, or at least certainly do not, extract content from the sound playing in your videos. In order to get the most out of your investment, you need transcripts that allow the search engine algorithms to properly index your videos.
- More visibility
Enjoy a growth of 20% in your audience by adding a legend below your videos. And this number will only go up with a multilingual version. Subtitled videos see an increase of 20% in the target audience and allows customers who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the content.
- Increased customer engagement
Providing content in the native language of your users has been shown to increase customer engagement, and aid in comprehension. Your videos will be able to find their audience across the globe.
- More utility
Interactive transcripts not only allow users to more easily search and navigate, but, perhaps just as importantly, they also allow users to watch videos without turning on the sound. On Facebook, for example, videos play automatically as soon as they are within the scope of the screen… and 85% of the videos are viewed without sound being enabled. Thus, without subtitles, your videos would be completely incomprehensible.
