This paper examined international marketing trends with a focus on understanding the link between online marketing efforts and language barriers. The findings highlight the importance of linguistics simplicity, cultural adaptive content and accurate translation in enhancing the efficiency of online marketing. The findings reveal three main language-related barriers such as inaccurate translation, linguistic complexity and cultural insensitivity hindering online marketing efforts. The results stress the significance of culturally sensitive, clear and tailored communication in enhancing the efficiency of online marketing.
