Ten years before, it’s still a fresh and new thing if you see a website with language selector or national flags on the top of their web pages. Ten years later, you are out if you have yet got your website go multilingual. In order to compete in a global economy, companies with a global vision have realized that their website has to speak their client’s language.

Throwing the website localization project over the wall to your distributors or just any third party is not the best way to go. You should be working with an experienced localization partner who has not only the necessary resource but also the industry know-how and the best practice, to take care of the challenging mission.
