Should I translate Black Friday content?

As an e-commerce business targeting international markets, I'm unsure whether I should invest time and resources in translating my Black Friday promotional content. My store currently operates primarily in English, but I've noticed significant traffic from non-English speaking countries. I want to understand the potential impact of content translation on conversion rates, customer engagement, and overall sales during this critical shopping period. What considerations should I evaluate when deciding whether to localize my Black Friday marketing materials?
