An International Data Corp report highlights that successful e-commerce relations could depend on multilingual communication. This will force American companies to increase the importance they place on multilingual staff and Internet tools. A suit of Internet tools has been created by translation company WorldLingo. Phil Scanlan, WorldLingo CEO, said the products offered by his company would help American companies conduct profitable transactions with Asian businesses. The products include a Browser Tool for Internet Explorer, a Translation Object that webmasters can place on their site, and an email translation service.
All tools can translate to and from eight languages.
Many businesses make the mistake of thinking that once their site is presented into different languages, they will be able to build trade relations with non-English speaking countries. Mr. Scanlan said it was important to have an email translation system to be able to read and respond to messages that may lead to sales. Our email translations provide the gist of the message, so businesses can quickly decide whether it is important to the bottom line, or if it can be discarded. All rights reserved.
