The invisible divide between translation and conversion

Do you know how an acceptable translation differs from a communication that really converts in the French market?

A message that is technically correct but culturally unsuited to France can be damaging, leading to a reduction in engagement, a drop in conversions and a weaker brand image. The PEPS linguistic audit accurately identifies these invisible barriers and turns them into growth drivers.

Linguistic audit

From the right phrase to efficient communication

When does a linguistic audit become imperative?

Faced with a particularly exacting French audience, a linguistic audit is a vital strategic investment when:

your translations are grammatically correct, but don’t generate the expected business results;

your message lacks consistency across your various French communication channels;

you wish to progress from merely acceptable content to a truly compelling message.

Grâce à cette intervention, notre communication est désormais plus professionnelle et parfaitement alignée avec notre positionnement haut de gamme. Un investissement qui a rapidement porté ses fruits. »

Tangible, usable results

On completion of the audit, you will receive:

A comprehensive analysis report with comparative examples and colour-coded urgency indicators

Recommendations in order of priority according to their business impact (return on investment) and ease of implementation

An operational action plan including a schedule and suggestions of indicators that can be tracked in-house, such as:

  • Evolution of the conversion rate for optimised pages

  • Changes to the average time spent on your technical content

  • Bounce rate variation before and after optimisation

  • Progression in ranking of French technical keywords

  • Reduction of requests for assistance due to incomprehension

All results can be discussed during our optional follow-up meetings, and strategy refined if necessary.
