Language translations: Do you bother?
I'm curious on several levels..... but let's suffice to ask, do you translate your sites into other languages and if so, which ones do you feel are necessary, and if not.... why not?

if you are targetting a specific country it plain logic to translate
a site to a local language. Otherwise: if they cant speak fucking english they cant handle creditcards.. so dont even bother. |

actually, we get quite a few signups who don't speak english as a first language. they don't seem to have much trouble signing up regardless.

It just aint worth it, maybe for German or Japanese, but couldn't be bothered.
English is the language of the net.

We used to have a German translation of our site ... but traffic from Germany stayed on a low level so I finally decided to drop that translation.
Also I have the impression that users from Europe are not ready (yet) to use their credit card on-line ... and many of them don't even own a credit card.

I use the free service at www.worldlingo.com on the outside tour on one of my sites and about 5% of my traffic uses it. Their logo button for the translation looks professional, doesn't take up too much space on the page and I figure if it results in just sale, it's more than paid for itself...

Thanks for the link Five Eyes. I could use something like that on a couple of my mainstream sites.

All sites with more than a TGP or freesite content, I
translate to French, just because I'm a good Canadian. That and those Quebecers are horny little pervs. |
