<p id="body">1. Don&#8217;t load your web site with a lot of high tech clutter. Your visitors may miss your whole sales message.</p>
<p>2. Don&#8217;t use unnecessary words or phrases on your site. You only have so much time to get your visitor&#8217;s attention and interest; make ever word count.</p>
<p>3. Don&#8217;t make the mistake that everyone will totally understand your web site message. Use descriptive words and examples to get your point across.</p>
<p>4. Don&#8217;t write your strongest point or benefit only once. You should repeat it at least 3 times because some people may miss it.</p>
<p>5. Don&#8217;t push all your words together on your web site. People like to skim; use plenty of headings and sub headings.</p>
<p>6. Don&#8217;t use site content your target audience isn&#8217;t interested in. If people are coming to your site to find info about fishing don&#8217;t include soccer content.</p>
<p>7. Don&#8217;t use 50 different content formats all over your web site. Use the same fonts, text sizes, text colors, etc.</p>
<p>8. Don&#8217;t use words your web site visitors might not understand. People are not going to stop and look in a dictionary, they will just go to another site.</p>
<p>9. Don&#8217;t let selling words and phrases go unnoticed. Highlight important words and phrases with color, bolding, italics, underlining, etc.</p>
<p>10. Don&#8217;t forget to use words that create emotion. All people have emotions, people will have more interest when they are emotionally attached.</p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Even though language translation software has  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">been </font><font face="Arial" size="2">available for several years now, few website </font><font face="Arial" size="2">owners </font><font face="Arial" size="2">are </font><font face="Arial" size="2">using it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">This is, I suspect, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">largely because website owners have not been consistently educated on the tremendous  benefits of this particularly </font><font face="Arial" size="2">vital  tool as well as its idea not having </font><font face="Arial" size="2">been widely promoted or </font><font face="Arial" size="2">publicized.  As such, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">it is possibly considered more of a </font><font face="Arial" size="2">website  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">embellishment </font><font face="Arial" size="2">than  a </font><font face="Arial" size="2">business necessity.  This is ironic because, even though the  Internet/World </font><font face="Arial" size="2">Wide Web </font><font face="Arial" size="2">literally  presents us to the </font><font face="Arial" size="2">world via </font><font face="Arial" size="2">our </font><font face="Arial" size="2">websites, most of us simply (and perhaps, naturally) </font><font face="Arial" size="2">present our </font><font face="Arial" size="2">site information </font><font face="Arial" size="2">in our  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">geographically limited and comfortable native languages.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Yet, in limiting our sites to our native languages,  we are significantly decreasing our </font><font face="Arial" size="2">opportunities to not only </font><font face="Arial" size="2">show  our interest in other </font><font face="Arial" size="2">cultures and their respective </font><font face="Arial" size="2">languages, but we are also </font><font face="Arial" size="2">eliminating our chances to </font><font face="Arial" size="2">create lifetime  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">foreign customers, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">clients  and their </font><font face="Arial" size="2">respective sales, as well as limiting our opportunities for true international  business growth while establishing international business  relationships.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">To support my idea on why language translation  software is a vital tool for any website owner, regardless of the  nature of the site&#8217;s business or the products or services that it  distributes, as an example, while a </font><font face="Arial" size="2">good portion of the world speaks </font><font face="Arial" size="2">the language </font><font face="Arial" size="2">of English  to </font><font face="Arial" size="2">some degree, other &#8220;first </font><font face="Arial" size="2">language&#8221; persons </font><font face="Arial" size="2">would,  obviously, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">prefer and </font><font face="Arial" size="2">feel more </font><font face="Arial" size="2">comfortable with </font><font face="Arial" size="2">being able to  review</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> any </font><font face="Arial" size="2">website&#8217;s content </font><font face="Arial" size="2">in </font><font face="Arial" size="2">their own native </font><font face="Arial" size="2">language.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">If </font><font face="Arial" size="2">you are a natural  English speaking individual, simply consider </font><font face="Arial" size="2">how  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">you feel when you access a website that is in a </font><font face="Arial" size="2">language other  than English, and a language that </font><font face="Arial" size="2">you do not understand.  Comprehension can be </font><font face="Arial" size="2">a </font><font face="Arial" size="2">struggle, at  best, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">and you are very likely to </font><font face="Arial" size="2">simply </font><font face="Arial" size="2">exit the site without further  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">review.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">However, in this particular instance, this  situation does </font><font face="Arial" size="2">not only </font><font face="Arial" size="2">apply to  English website owners, but from </font><font face="Arial" size="2">my </font><font face="Arial" size="2">experience of </font><font face="Arial" size="2">reviewing  websites in other </font><font face="Arial" size="2">languages, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">it equally </font><font face="Arial" size="2">applies </font><font face="Arial" size="2">to non English sites as well.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">However and again, it does </font><font face="Arial" size="2">appear that cultures </font><font face="Arial" size="2">outside </font><font face="Arial" size="2">of English </font><font face="Arial" size="2">markets  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">tend to make more </font><font face="Arial" size="2">of an </font><font face="Arial" size="2">effort to </font><font face="Arial" size="2">reach </font><font face="Arial" size="2">out to </font><font face="Arial" size="2">English  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">speaking markets by </font><font face="Arial" size="2">presenting </font><font face="Arial" size="2">their </font><font face="Arial" size="2">websites in, at </font><font face="Arial" size="2">least, the  English </font><font face="Arial" size="2">language </font><font face="Arial" size="2">as an alternative.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Statistics reveal that by not having language  translation software installed </font><font face="Arial" size="2">on websites, regardless of the sites&#8217; </font><font face="Arial" size="2">native language or how well the site produces financially,  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">website owners may be </font><font face="Arial" size="2">losing  as much </font><font face="Arial" size="2">as 65% in </font><font face="Arial" size="2">sales of </font><font face="Arial" size="2">their products </font><font face="Arial" size="2">or services  that they could otherwise be enjoying if their site presented itself in multiple  languages. This is</font> <font face="Arial" size="2">because  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">these particular foreign </font><font face="Arial" size="2">markets are not even aware </font><font face="Arial" size="2">of  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">the sites since the single language sites do not  make a </font><font face="Arial" size="2">proactive effort  to promote and publicize themselves to foreign language individuals</font><font face="Arial" size="2">.  This is </font><font face="Arial" size="2">a great </font><font face="Arial" size="2">disservice to </font><font face="Arial" size="2">both the website </font><font face="Arial" size="2">owner as  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">well as to the </font><font face="Arial" size="2">prospective website </font><font face="Arial" size="2">visitor.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">By default, it is safe to assume that a respectable  number of potential foreign language customers and  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">clients searching online &#8220;accidentally&#8221; discover any given site, yet,  will pass on reviewing the site if it is not in their native  language.  However, consider the greater chances of attracting those  same foreign individuals </font><font face="Arial" size="2">as </font><font face="Arial" size="2">sales prospects or lifetime customers  if only the site were </font><font face="Arial" size="2">available  in their</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> native languages.  In this age of competition and niche market  specialization, any website owner </font><font face="Arial" size="2">can  utilize </font><font face="Arial" size="2">all </font><font face="Arial" size="2">of the  assistance and information available to not only maintain</font><font face="Arial" size="2"> their site&#8217;s </font><font face="Arial" size="2">sales, but to continually increase </font><font face="Arial" size="2">sales as well.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Now, regardless of what you currently earn from  your website annually, imagine what the financial impact of a  65% increase in online </font><font face="Arial" size="2">customers  or clients, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">a number of </font><font face="Arial" size="2">whom are likely to translate </font><font face="Arial" size="2">into  online buyers, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">could do for your </font><font face="Arial" size="2">annual incomecompared to </font><font face="Arial" size="2">previous  years.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Also, consider how beneficial your having already  established a </font><font face="Arial" size="2">relationship with  your foreign customers or clients via having their </font><font face="Arial" size="2">native  </font><font face="Arial" size="2">language available on your site can tremendously benefit you </font><font face="Arial" size="2">should  you attend business conventions or other business </font><font face="Arial" size="2">related  functions in their countries.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">At the very least, </font><font face="Arial" size="2">you will have an immediate advantage </font><font face="Arial" size="2">over your competition that has not taken the time to  consider the greatly added value of installing language  translation software on their websites and how </font><font face="Arial" size="2">it can benefit them dramatically.<br />
