Internationalization
Internationalization is the process of standards that adhere to languages, cultural conventions, and addresses the barriers to true international trade in any language. Internationalization is much more than translation. Translation plays an important role in target markets. New standards are emerging and your business or system can benefit by the ability to adapt.
When a site, business form or publication is written with these considerations, it starts a process that may allow you to get a return on your investments outside of the U.S.A. Translation will always play an important role in reaching broader markets. However, as new standards emerge, the task of translation may be less challenging.

UTF-8
Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform may be, no matter what the program or browser used may be, and, no matter what the language of the user is. This still does not guarantee that one's English based Website can be viewed in the native language of a site visitor. There is a plethora of coding, translation and application issues that need to be considered. We can provide an intelligent analysis of your needs.

Reaching Broader Markets
When one publishes a site to the World Wide Web, it does not mean that you will see many international visitors. If your target markets include the Global economies, one has to consider the legal issues, customs, language barriers and economies of the target market. There are specific plans that one must follow to break the barriers and reach clients within those markets. Please read about market strategy.
