Are You Selling Internationally?

Many business sell internationally - with one huge challenge - a language barrier.  I would like to offer a potential solution for people that are using the WordPress platform.

I recently found a WordPress plugin called Global Translator.  This is a free - open source plugin that does more than just translate.  It will help your site get ranked in Google for different countries.  Most translation software translates "on the fly".  This means that when a foreign visitor comes to your website they can request the page be translated so they can read it.  Global Translator actually makes static pages in several languages of your site.  These pages get indexed by Google in the search engine that that country uses - meaning when I make a post it will create static pages in different languages automatically - bringing me traffic from countries that I would have never been able to reach before activating this plugin. This is absolutely huge for people that are with a company that is doing business in many different countries. 

Here are the languages that are available:

• Italian
• Korean
• Chinese (Simplified)
• Portuguese
• English
• German
• French
• Spanish
• Japanese
• Arabic
• Russian
• Greek
• Dutch
• Bulgarian
• Czech
• Croatian
• Danish
• Finnish
• Hindi
• Polish
• Romanian
• Swedish
• Norwegian
• Catalan
• Filipino
• Hebrew
• Indonesian
• Latvian
• Lithuanian
• Serbian
• Slovak
• Slovenian
• Ukrainian
• Vietnamese

You can choose which languages you want your site translated into in the settings for the plugin.

I think this is a huge opportunity for people that have had language issues in their business.
