Best Practices for Translating Products to English (Australia)
Localizing Products for English (Australia)-Speaking Customers
Translation is just the beginning. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.
Visual Preferences
- Prefer authentic, natural, and bright lifestyle photography over overly staged studio shots, showcasing products in real Australian settings like beaches, parks, or urban cafes.
- Model representation should reflect Australia's multicultural society, featuring diversity in ethnicity, age, and body types. Models should appear relatable and healthy, avoiding excessive airbrushing.
- Design aesthetics lean towards clean, modern, and often minimalist layouts with ample whitespace. Functionality and user-friendliness are highly valued, with clear typography and intuitive navigation.
- Images of people generally feature natural, approachable expressions, and direct eye contact is common. A mix of individual and group shots, often depicting social interaction or activity, is preferred.
- Embrace imagery of iconic Australian landscapes, native flora/fauna (e.g., koalas, kangaroos), and multicultural urban settings. Avoid stereotypical or culturally insensitive representations, especially concerning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
Units & Measurements
- The Metric system is standard for all measurements (e.g., metres, kilograms, litres).
- Clothing sizes primarily use Australian/UK sizing (e.g., Women's 6-22, Men's XS-XXL), often with EU or US equivalents provided for international brands.
- Shoe sizes typically follow Australian/UK sizing for adults and children. International brands frequently include US or EU conversions.
- Weight units are expressed in kilograms (kg) and grams (g) for most products, with tonnes (t) for very large quantities.
- Dimensions are typically given in centimetres (cm) or millimetres (mm) for smaller items, and metres (m) for larger ones, following an L x W x H or H x W x D format.
Number & Date Formatting
- Date format is typically DD/MM/YYYY (e.g., 31/12/2025) or DD Month YYYY (e.g., 31 December 2025).
- The decimal separator is a period (.) (e.g., 123.45).
- The thousand separator is a comma (,) (e.g., 1,234.56).
- Currency (AUD) is displayed with the dollar sign ($) or A$ preceding the number, without a space (e.g., $99.95 or A$99.95).
- Time is commonly expressed in 12-hour format with AM/PM (e.g., 2:30 PM), though 24-hour format (e.g., 14:30) is also understood. The week starts on Monday.
Color Meanings
- Red is widely recognized as the color for sales, discounts, and urgency in e-commerce, effectively signaling deals to consumers.
- Blue is strongly associated with trust, reliability, and professionalism, making it a good choice for brands aiming to convey security and credibility (e.g., financial services).
- Black, gold, silver, deep blues, and rich purples are commonly used to signify premium quality, luxury, and sophistication in products and branding.
- While no colors are strictly taboo, overly bright or clashing color combinations might be perceived as cheap or unprofessional. Green can convey environmentalism and sustainability, resonating well with eco-conscious consumers.
- Australia does not have strong traditional color taboos, but general design principles suggest avoiding combinations that make content unreadable or visually jarring.
