Why is multiple language support important when you are building a global product?

Localisation means offering the product in multiple languages so that users from multiple countries can use your product seamlessly. Localisation is an important functionality if companies want to grow their business at a global level. It is even more important if you are building anything related to conversational platforms like WhatsApp. Customers would like to interact with businesses over WhatsApp in their native language.

In Weka, we started offering localisation a couple of months ago. We first started offering Portuguese apart from English. Encouraged by Portuguese adoption, we launched four more languages - Spanish (Espanol), Arabic, Bahasa (Indonesian) and Chinese.
