REACH OUT AND TOUCH BILLIONSHave you heard of 'Babel Fish'?
It's a service provided by Alta Vista search engine people to translate every page you put 'Babel Fish' code, and up comes a a new language.
Your page may be written in English, but people across Spain and Latin America can translate your web page into Spanish. Likewise if your web page is written in Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, people can have an instant translation into English, or another language they are comfortable with.
I have put 'Babel Fish' code onto every page on my site at:- http://www.ebook-sales.com and I can see from
stats on
server that people are clicking on 'Babel Fish' to have a translation. This I feel, widens my audience out there in cyberspace. The 'hit counter' has substantially risen, I have people bookmarking my site, because I see they don't all come in
'front door' to
site, they come in to certain pages that interests them.
Every new page I put on my site, and I update fairly often, I make sure
'Babel Fish' code is at
top of
html on that page.
The technology is certainly improving, I remember science- fiction movies when I was young had computers to instantly translate into any language, but
technology has only just arrived in reality and can be used widely on
web.
In previous articles I wrote about
Chinese market about to be opened up, for there are more people in China logging on to
internet every day. There are businesspeople in
west who are eyeing this market at
moment. To those people I would ask them to seek out some of my previous articles on Ideamarketers.com and take into account what I say there.
It's also no good to
vast population of China, who do not speak any other language, to see sites always put up in English. Some attempt must be made to have parallel pages with Chinese throughout, or resort to
excellent technology that is 'Babel Fish', and as I know
corporate world moves grindingly slowly,
adept and astute entrepreneur could steal a march on their bigger, slower cousins.
