Key Considerations
- Respect linguistic diversity: While Spanish is widely understood, using Catalan in Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands shows respect and builds trust.
- Cultural pride: Catalan speakers have strong cultural identity; integrate local traditions and references where appropriate to resonate with the audience.
- Direct but polite communication: Value clear, concise messages delivered with courtesy and a personal touch.
- Family and community values: Marketing should subtly reflect these values, emphasizing connections and local relevance.
Common Mistakes to Avoid

- ⚠Literal translations that miss cultural nuances or local idiomatic expressions, leading to unnatural or awkward content.
- ⚠Ignoring regional variations in Catalan (e.g., Valencian, Balearic) and not adapting content accordingly.
- ⚠Not adapting payment or shipping options to local preferences, which can deter potential customers.
