Best Practices for Translating Products to Armenian
Engage professional translators with expertise in Eastern Armenian, as regional variations exist.
Ensure all content is correctly rendered in the Armenian alphabet, paying attention to typography and fonts.
Localize all currency (AMD), dates (DD.MM.YYYY), and units of measurement to Armenian standards.
Adapt marketing messages to resonate with the cultural emphasis on family, tradition, and national identity.
Be mindful of tone; a respectful and trustworthy approach is generally preferred over overly casual or aggressive marketing.
Localizing
Localizing Products for Armenian-Speaking Customers
Translation is just the beginning. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.
Visual Preferences
- High-quality, professional photography is essential. A balance between clear product-focused shots (showcasing details) and authentic lifestyle imagery (products in relevant Armenian contexts like homes or cafes, or against natural landscapes like Mount Ararat) resonates well.
- Model representation should reflect the local Armenian population, featuring diverse ages and body types that appear authentic and relatable. Images often include families or multi-generational groups, as family and community are central values. Avoid overly staged or artificial-looking models.
- Design aesthetics tend towards a balance of modern cleanliness and subtle cultural integration. While minimalist designs are appreciated, tasteful incorporation of traditional Armenian motifs or patterns (e.g., in borders or background textures) can add a sense of familiarity and cultural pride without being overly ornate.
- Images of people should generally convey professionalism and approachability. Direct eye contact is acceptable and can build trust. Group photos, especially those depicting family or friends interacting positively with products, are often more impactful than solitary figures due to the strong communal values.
- Embrace imagery that subtly hints at Armenian heritage, such as natural landscapes, historical architecture, or traditional crafts like pottery or carpets. Avoid any imagery that could be perceived as disrespectful to religious symbols (Armenia is predominantly Christian) or national monuments.
Units & Measurements
- Armenia exclusively uses the metric system for all measurements. All product dimensions, weights, and distances should be presented in meters, centimeters, kilograms, and liters.
- Clothing sizes primarily follow the European (EU) sizing system (e.g., women's 36-50, men's 48-58). It is beneficial to also provide international S/M/L equivalents, and for jeans, waist sizes in inches might be appreciated alongside EU sizing.
- Shoe sizes are consistently expressed using the European (EU) sizing system (e.g., 37, 38, 39 for women; 41, 42, 43 for men).
- Weight units for products should be displayed in kilograms (kg) for larger items and grams (g) for smaller products or food items. For example, a bag of coffee would be 250 g, while a piece of furniture would be 15 kg.
- Dimensions are typically presented in the order of length x width x height, using centimeters (cm). For example, a product box might be described as 30 cm x 20 cm x 10 cm.
Number & Date Formatting
- The standard date format is DD.MM.YYYY (e.g., 31.12.2025). While YYYY.MM.DD can appear in official documents, DD.MM.YYYY is most common for general use.
- The decimal separator is a comma (`,`). For example, prices or measurements should be displayed as 123,45 (one hundred twenty-three and forty-five hundredths).
- The thousand separator is a non-breaking space (` `). For example, large numbers should be formatted as 1 234 567.
- The Armenian Dram (AMD) currency symbol is "դր." or "֏". It is typically placed after the number with a space, for example, 999 դր. or 999 ֏.
- Time is commonly expressed using the 24-hour format (e.g., 14:30 for 2:30 PM).
- The week officially starts on Monday.
Color Meanings
- Red is widely recognized for sales, discounts, and urgent calls to action. It signals a deal and can create a sense of excitement and urgency in e-commerce promotions.
- Blue and green are strong trust and reliability colors. Blue (stability, professionalism) is often used by banks and official institutions, while green (growth, nature, prosperity) is associated with reliability and freshness. White also conveys cleanliness and transparency.
- Gold, silver, black, and deep jewel tones (such as emerald green or sapphire blue) are effective in conveying luxury, premium quality, and sophistication for high-end products.
- While not strictly taboo, excessive use of black, especially in contexts that should be joyful or vibrant, can be associated with mourning in Armenian culture. Use it carefully and balance it with other colors. Dark brown can sometimes be perceived as dull or uninspiring.
- Apricot/Orange, derived from the national fruit, symbolizes warmth, creativity, hospitality, and national pride. Incorporating this color can evoke positive cultural associations. Red also signifies love, passion, and celebration, often seen in traditional art and attire, making it suitable for festive promotions.
Armenian Local SEO Tips
Optimize your product content for search engines in Armenian-speaking markets
Prioritize Google for search engine optimization, as it holds the largest market share in Armenia. However, consider optimizing for Yandex as well, particularly for older demographics or those with stronger ties to Russia, as Yandex still captures a noticeable portion of search traffic.
Conduct thorough keyword research for Armenian variations, including both standard Armenian terms (e.g., "առցանց խանութ" for online store) and common transliterations or localized terms (e.g., adding city names like "Երևան" (Yerevan) or "Գյումրի" (Gyumri) to product searches). Also, research popular search queries involving terms like "առաքում" (delivery), "գին" (price), and "զեղչեր" (discounts).
Focus on detailed and informative content. While clarity is valued, Armenian consumers appreciate comprehensive explanations for products and services, especially for higher-value items. Content should be professional yet approachable, avoiding overly casual language for serious topics.
Build local backlinks by engaging with Armenian-specific platforms. This includes listing your business in local directories (e.g., Yellow Pages Armenia), partnering with popular Armenian news portals (.am domains), collaborating with local bloggers and influencers on platforms like Instagram (highly popular in Armenia), and sponsoring local events.
Utilize a .am country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for strong local relevance and trust signals. Implement `hreflang="hy-AM"` tags to clearly indicate content targeting Armenian speakers in Armenia. Local hosting within Armenia can significantly improve page load times for the target audience.
Optimize for mobile search, as smartphone usage is extremely high. Consider voice search optimization for natural language queries in Armenian, as voice search is a growing trend. Ensure your site is responsive and offers an excellent mobile user experience.
