Should I translate content for international customers?

As an e-commerce business expanding globally, I'm uncertain about whether translating my product descriptions, marketing materials, and website content is worth the investment. I want to reach international customers effectively, but I'm concerned about translation costs, quality, and the complexity of managing multiple language versions. How can I determine if translation will genuinely improve my conversion rates and customer experience across different markets?
