But, as the article points out, creating a global Web site is not just about

translation, but rather about globalizing your strategy, workflow, and

technology to be able to deliver up-to-date content in the locale/language

combinations that will best help you deliver your strategic objectives...


Nice to see though that people are finally realizing that not everyone out

there prefers to have their information in English (says Laurel, born in

California ...).
