Kmart receives WorldLingo Multilingual Email Award

Kmart has been awarded a WorldLingo Multilingual Email Award (WMEA), after it was the fastest U.S company to respond to an email written in a foreign language.

WorldLingo conducted a survey of 250 of the World's largest companies. Each company was sent an email in a foreign language to gauge whether they had the multilingual capabilities to reply to the message.

Only 8.9% of the world's companies replied to the email correctly and in the same language as the original message, with Kmart having the fastest response time from a U.S company of 11 hours and 51 minutes.

The WMEA is awarded to each company with the fastest response time from their country. The response must come within 24 hours.
