Why bother with multilingual translation of social media?
posted Wed, 2012-01-11 18:29 by
For most companies the answer is easy – they don’t. But they could be making a big mistake. Social media is seen as an essential part of many marketing campaigns. At the same time, English is losing its dominance on Facebook and Twitter.
Multilingual translation of social media feeds is an easy way to reach a huge audience. It’s also a great way of engaging with customers in countries where you have a website – without the expense of setting up an on on-the-ground presence.

English-speaking Facebook users decline
posted Tue, 2011-06-14 12:20 by
It seems people are getting bored of virtually poking each other, as Facebook user numbers in the US and the UK fell last month.
According to data by Inside Facebook, the US lost about 6 million users in May, while around 100,000 Brits also deserted the site.
But this doesn’t mean Zuckerberg and Co. will soon be jumping ship—while English-speaking user numbers fell, foreign language users continued to rise.
