We know that there are gifted people out there that can speak more than 1 language, but what about the majority of others that can’t?

When a website is built, do you build it in as many languages as possible so that you receive a wider audience of visitors from around the world? Or do you just keep the website in its home language and concentrate on other aspects of the company instead?

It’s a fact that the bulk of people on the Net are from the USA, but there are more and more people going online from other countries.

Should all companies make a big step and start catering for other languages or should people be made to shop in their own country?

You decide!

Now just for a little bit of fun, Ive found out what the word “Special Reserve” means in different languages:

German - Spezielle Reserve

French - Excédent Affecté

Italian - Speciale Riserva

Portuguese - Reserva Especial

Spanish - Especial Reserva

English – Red Splat!

In what language do you like special reserve best?…. Maybe SR could consider changing it! :)
