Not only will you reach a wider audience, but people will catch a glimpse of your dedication, professionalism, wish and desire to share blogs.

1. Auto-Translate is Unprofessional
When it comes to blogging, you want to be taken seriously by the audience. And above all, you want the audience to trust you. By auto-translating the blog, you'll make the opposite impression. Auto-translate isn't always accurate, especially when it comes to translating humorous content, but also some phrases can be misunderstood. Considering that every language is special and has unique phrases and construction, you should always go with a professional translation.
2. SEO!
Yes, accessibility affects SEO, otherwise known as Search Engine Optimization. You can love it or hate it, but it's the way Google ranks sites. Hence, that's one more reason to professionally translate your blog. Of course, blogs that are translated in multiple languages are ranked higher. It's that simple – if your blog is available in more languages, it will show up higher in searches. And, that's better for your business and your reach to potential new customers!
3. Ads, ads, ads
If you are in a blogging world, you are well familiar with ads and their importance for your blogs. It is no secret that advertisement nowadays is one of the keys to success. Reaching a wider audience results in more ad revenue. Also, it opens more possibilities for collaboration with other brands, companies or bloggers. When your audience sees the multiple translated blogs, they'll be aware that you are serious about what you do, and that you are reputable and trustworthy. It can also increase your chance for making more professional deals.
4. Gaining readers’ trust
People will be able to see your dedication and professionalism through a great blog that is translated into many languages. Around 55% of users are more likely to shop online in their native language and even 74% of users have higher chances of shopping online again if the service was in their native language.
