International Language Sites

The sixteen different language-specific versions of the new OSE Directory website are now live. In addition to being able to change the language of the site when you are already on one of the pages, you can also visit the site in your own language straight away.

Translated website in French. The completely translated the site will be easy to index as a French site, indexing French words and phrases from every part of the site.

We have created a series of alternatives or "aliases" of the site that show the chosen languages by default. You can still select a different one when you're on the site, but when you first visit it will already be in your chosen language.

Arabic. Localisation for an Arabic version of the site means creating a completely different right-to-left format for all the pages as well as translating all the text.

Below is a list of the different language-specific sites for you to visit:

www.arabic.osedirectory.com
www.chinese.osedirectory.com
www.czech.osedirectory.com
www.french.osedirectory.com
www.german.osedirectory.com
www.italian.osedirectory.com
www.japanese.osedirectory.com
www.korean.osedirectory.com
www.polish.osedirectory.com
www.portuguese.osedirectory.com
www.russian.osedirectory.com
www.spanish.osedirectory.com
www.swedish.osedirectory.com
www.turkish.osedirectory.com

and of course the English version
www.osedirectory.com

Translated Style. In addition to translating the language, the site needs to continue the corporate look and feel of the original design.

The creation of these international language-specific sites means we can index each version separately in the major search engines, and create a presence for OSE Directory on each of the different international versions of Google, Yahoo!, and so on.

I'll keep you posted on the results.

If you're interested in developing a completely translated version of your website then please give us a ring on 01300 320076 or email jon@alacrify.co.uk to discuss the possible options.
