More and more companies are using headless CMS architecture to handle content for their websites. However, for multilingual websites, a division between the front end and the back end can lead to a variety of UX and SEO issues. For example, a well-edited and artistically articulated marketing message that a company spent a hefty budget to translate and localize may be misplaced or end up with an untranslated title, causing a single page to contain multiple languages. Automation can also lead the system to declare the localized page as the same language as the original. Errors like these make content lose its shine and effectiveness, frustrate users, and ultimately lose conversions and revenue.

For years, this headless environment has been evolving, but no one was able to bridge the gap caused by automation. While the market has plenty of tools to check for linguistic errors, there was never a tool to test for user experience issues across languages. If a website contains some spelling errors, it’s relatively easy to find the right tool to detect and correct these mistakes. But when it came to errors due to automation, companies had no easy option to avoid suffering the consequences of investing in marketing and localization, only to end up with messy and difficult-to-navigate websites. In fact, most companies don’t even perform a manual check for these kinds of errors, proving that there’s both a lack of proper tools and awareness of the problem.

That’s where LocHub Insights comes in. Founder and CEO Rikkert Engels is on a mission to bring localization and marketing together to make better multilingual websites. LocHub Insights introduces a groundbreaking innovation: a complete website crawl to determine if content is correctly inserted and attributed. LocHub Insights uses a simple dashboard to clearly show the errors and where they are. It helps web developers locate errors and their root causes to eradicate them from their system, while localization teams can optimize translation allocation and spending.
