Tokyo, Japan – On September 8, 2022, Kotozna, Inc. launched “Kotozna laMondo”, a multilingual live chat service for businesses looking to go global by overcoming language barriers.
With the profound growth of e-commerce around the world, we envision retailers further engaging in cross-border online sales.
To help grow their business in this promising market, Kotozna laMondo provides cross translation of 109 languages at a monthly fee starting as low as 98 USD.
Kotozna laMondo has already been field tested with multiple businesses, and can be implemented with a low code. We hope to help businesses of every size expand their business globally.
Cross-border e-commerce is expanding while the demand for multilingual services for small to mid-sized businesses increases
With information flowing freely through social networks and other channels, shoppers are more aware of products and services sold overseas. However, shopping in an unfamiliar language has always been a hindrance to consumers.
Research has shown that over 70% of shoppers are more likely to purchase a product presented in their native language (1).
This is not for lack of effort on the businesses’ side.
Although a recent survey of US executives found that almost 40%of companies had missed business opportunities in the past five years due to lack of international competencies, more than a quarter of companies indicate that it is difficult to find US talent with the international knowledge, expertise, and language skills needed to manage global operations (2).

The mindset of businesses is what holds them back when it comes to cross-border businesses. I would especially hope for small to mid-size businesses that tell themselves “too early to go global” to try out new digital tools such as Kotozna laMondo. These tools don’t require upfront investments and will help break down language and cultural barriers.
Sincerity does translate, even with automated translation. I hope businesses feel confident enough to communicate with people from other countries with technologies like Kotozna laMondo.

“Diminishing language barriers”. This has been Kotozna Inc.’s mission since its inception.
We are thrilled to launch “Kotozna laMondo”, a chat tool that allows for communication in any language, without barriers. This is especially useful for small to mid-size businesses looking to expand their customer base overseas.
Take for example Japanese small businesses. Many of these establishments are interested in expanding their market globally. They have started to build websites in other languages besides Japanese to entice clients. However, there are many issues at the point of contact such as customers not being able to understand the contact form, or the recipient not understanding the inquiry.
Kotozna laMondo fixes that. By just adding 1 low code to the company’s website, a chat button will be placed on the screen and will allow for auto-translated conversations with the client. The business chats in their own language, and so does the customer. The customer can leave their email address for auto-translated email communication as well.
Envisioning a world post-COVID, and with the fluctuating exchange rate, many business opportunities lie overseas. We hope Kotozna laMondo can be the catalyst to launch businesses into the global sphere.
