If you are going to post up other language versions of web pages it is a

good idea to promote them via the other language search engines etc. Why

would anyone look for a page in French using an English search engine?


Research proves that people who do not have English as a first language,

even when they are fluent in English as a second language, will almost

always prefer to use non-English search engines.


If anyone needs any help with international and multi-language campaigns,

the best source is Euromarketing - contact in the UK is
