Of course Oct 28

I think spelling "business" correctly also improves business by lending professional credibility to the business in question.

Part of it Oct 28

Yes, it’s the starting point, but not the only one, towards this goal.

A no-brainer YES, assuming of course Oct 29

that there is a sporting chance that the local market would want the company's product/service at all.

But that is NOT the translator's concern, nor is the poll question of any interest for a translator. It matters ONLY if you're a company trying to expand.

Yes Oct 29

I think local bus services are extremely important and deserve special priority, especially in this era of advancing climate change.

If you have the firepower behind it Oct 29

Do you have the ability to serve customers in another market? Then by all means, localize. It shouldn't be your first and only market entry strategy. Also do it right. If you don't have the resources to localize the whole product in a way that corresponds to your customers' quality expectations, don't waste your time. And do your research. Your customers might prefer shopping in English, even though they live in a country where the official language isn't English.
