HDI Tip of the Day
“Don’t forget global customers: Cisco’s site reaches a truly worldwide customer base, points out globalization manager Joseph Choi, who estimates that 25% of his site’s traffic comes from outside the U.S. Full-scale international support—which in Cisco’s case means translating 100,000 documents into 15 languages—is a huge investment that most companies won’t undertake, he notes. But it’s a good idea to translate some popular content, such as product data sheets, and to think about multi-language support for bottom text, keyword searches, e-mail links, and other site design elements.” – The Year’s Ten Best Web Support Sites, produced by Soft?letter & The Association of Support Professionals
