Hello World
The language barrier has been shattered by technology.
As you know, both Mark and I are dedicated to developing websites with standards and universal accessibility in mind. As part of that mission, I constantly monitor the origin of traffic to determine where visitors such as yourselves come from.
Thanks to ongoing improvement in automated translation, we are happy to offer our blog in the following language: French, Spanish, German, Chinese (Simplified) and Japanese.
Google Tools = Automated Translation Services
The service is part of a growing set of web tools offered by Google.
As you can imagine, the translations are not 100% accurate, but I think it will help our readers in China and Germany; hopefully it'll introduce more readers to our blog.
Please, feel free to comment on how the translations are in your language. Or you can request the addition of your preferred language.
For future reference, the translation links can be found in our sidebar.
I was somewhat impressed by the quality of the French translation, (For those of you unaware, I was born in Montreal and attended French school) but, I still found it to be good enough to convey our messages. -R
