 Re: "Finally Finished" Spy Shop. | |
Once in awhile, you see a really outstanding looking site build using BV. Shows how their program has infinite capabilities if one has the imagination, vision, and drive.
I was just wondering about your language picker. How many of your clients are international non-English speaking?! many international internet users today read english pretty well. I check the Hebrew translation (mother tongue). It's great that Google has that script, but the translations are horrible! Languages translations need a profession human translator so they can account for the cultural, grammar, and linguistic differences that no translation program today has that vast knowledge of first hand experience. Remember the ford pinto incessant?! They had very little sells in south America and Spain because in Spanish, pinto means "no go". Why would anyone buy a car called no go? The language bar might be more harmful to you than the good for costumers. I can only speak fr the Hebrew translations, but it makes you look like you tried using a dictionary like a tourist in a foreign country. Focus on your market. If you have a lot of sells in a certain country large enough to justify duplicating your site into that country's language or get that country's domain name (i.e. xxxx.il.co), then I would recommend hiring a professional translator per language. Until then, don't try to serve everyone as it might hurt you more.
