Website Globalization - International Success With Languages
By: CindyKing | Posted: 21st February 2008
Online demographics are still changing. To have International Success and reach 80% of today's internet users you need to communicate in at least 10 languages. The long time standard choice of languages, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, just doesn't do it anymore. Today you need to consider Chinese, Korean, Russian and Japanese - languages that don't even share our alphabet. Another way to look at it; Brazil, Russia, India and China are expected to have 44% of global GDP by the year 2050.
In addition to an increase in internet users from large foreign countries, the smaller developing countries are also very interesting to reach. The dynamic online communities in these smaller countries often represent great opportunities. The longer the list of countries, the longer the list of foreign languages you need to optimize your international business development.
If you have been in business for even a few years, you probably notice the change in the choice in languages for internet coverage. The speed at which internet companies are expanding their languages is also impressive. Many of the companies now offering over 20 languages did not imagine they would offer so many languages so quickly and many companies simply assumed that the client would learn enough English to get by.
If you have an online business and look at the current trend, you would see the wisdom in planning for expansion right from the start. Internet demographics will continue to increase, changing the balance in country penetration and user demographics. More and more businesses are increasing the number of languages available on their website. Part of the reason is due to business globalization. In addition, internet users all over the world are also expecting to find more information in their own languages. This is why companies are expanding their choice of languages so dramatically.
It is time for everyone to start looking at using different languages on your site, prepare for the change that is more than just coming, it is already here.
