Issues for companies with backgrounds of service development

When foreign tourists do shopping, if the food package is shown in Japanese, they will hardly grasp its flavor or ingredients and have some anxiety during the enjoyable trip.
If some family members or friends who receive the souvenirs have some food allergies, these foreign tourists who do not understand the language, might wonder if they should purchase or not.

This indicates that companies will pass an opportunity of customers buying products.

In order to solve this issue, it is feasible to hire employees who are able to speak foreign languages, but it is extremely costly due to labor and it takes some time to master product information.
If the information on packages or POP is offered in multiple languages, people might consider it not as Japanese products, and the large size of package or POP will lower the value of products.

This is a loss for a company.

Here InboundWorks MultiLingual comes.
