Any multilingual directories out there? Or directories in languages other than english? This may be a market totally untapped. Why am I sharing this if I think it's a good idea, because I don't care I am already busy but it was a thought I had and curious what people know about them. Indian, Spanish and Chinese strike me as the 3 best languages. Also anyone have different language sites on their dir's currently?
Better ask ! Ask ! he will likely know as much as most on this topic but lets make it abundantly clear its not going to be easy to maintain
I don’t see a problem accepting different languages I can understand Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, Italian, German and several regional dialects for other languages I rely on the google translator and common sense. I think in the future more sites will start to search for SEO on native languages, big market.
That is what I was thinking! Now how to put it into practice.... Ingenious ideas unfortunately are only a small portion of walking the walk! I was thinking more of a Multilingual Category and whenever a specific language gets alot break it down into sub categories etc.. etc...
With Cantonese and Mandarin 2 entirely different languages but use the same characters Needs some thought before set up
Thats an interesting question. I wonder how you can setup few different languages on one phpld install... and I dont mean just regional category, i mean the whole site in a different language, including subcategories and articles.
Another one that I have found alright is; Altavista Babel Fish. You could always use that and maybe hire an editor to fine tune. Obviously it helps if you speak the language as well.
