Multilingual Web Browsing with WorldLingo Tools

The WorldLingo Tools are a free plug-in for MS Internet Explorer 5 which allows visitors to web pages to change the language that is used on the site.

Support for Netscape Navigator and other browsers will be available soon.

The Translation Tools are capable of translating in both directions of the following language pairs, French and English, German and English, Italian and English, Spanish and English, Portuguese and English, and English and Japanese.

WorldLingo's machine translation is also able to translate form Russian to English and Chinese to English.

The languages translated by WorldLingo makes up 77% of all non-English speaking Internet users and the company is the only service that offers translations to and from Asian languages.

A key feature of the WorldLingo Tool is its ability to translate links without page refreshes to the host site.

The Tools allow users to effortlessly browse from page to page, and site to site, whilst the seamless translation technology works in the background.

The Chairman of WorldLingo, Phil Scanlan, said the Translation Tools could be used on Websites, without altering its content.

"It is a simple process to add the WorldLingo Website Translator to your Website," Mr. Scanlan said.

"We provide you with the necessary HTML code to make the addition of the translation software."

WorldLingo will also send you monthly statements that display a Websites translation profile.

Some languages will show significant demand, and these are the ones in which you may wish to consider a professional human translation," Scanlan said. "WorldLingo can also refer you to a list of specialist web localizers."
