Export site selects WorldLingo's online translation services

WorldLingo, the specialist online translation services company, has partnered with exportsite, a British online service for exporters. Under the agreement, exportsite will incorporate WorldLingo's commercial online translation solutions into its offering. The solutions will allow exporters to gain easy and fast access to machine and human translation services via the website.

WorldLingo's commercial translation services appealed to exportsite because they combine the best of machine and professional human translation. As a result, subscribers to exportsite will now be able to request instant and accurate translations in 10 of the world's most popular languages. Professional human translations will also be available in over 40 different languages.

"exportsite shares our goal of making it easier for companies to trade in global markets and this made the company a good choice of partner for us. When it comes to international trade there are many hurdles that exporters have to face and exportsite is helping exporters to overcome these obstacles," said Phil Scanlan, Chairman WorldLingo. "More than half of Internet users now access the Internet in a language other than English and they want to do business in their own language - IDC estimates that people are four times more likely to purchase online if they are pitched to in their own language. With our help, exportsite's subscribers will now be able to get translations done quickly, in over 40 languages, thereby addressing a significant obstacle to international trade; the language barrier."

Andy Atkins, exportsite's CEO said, "We are constantly looking for ways to improve the service that we offer to our members. We have noticed an increasing demand for translation services and we chose WorldLingo as a best of breed supplier to meet those needs."
