9 June 2004 BCPC website goes multilingual Logging onto any website can be confusing at the best of times, but if you are looking for important information about an organisation, or details on a forthcoming event or seminar and the website is not in your native language, you may not want to look any further. Recognising that its BCPC website attracts many overseas visitors, and spurred on by the fact that its annual flagship event, Crop Science and Technology attracts over 2,200 visitors a year from over 70 countries, BCPC now offers a translation of its website at www.bcpc.org, into nine different languages. The selected languages: Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, German, Italian, French, Spanish and Korean, were chosen to cover the majority of visitors to the site and attendees at BCPC events. To activate the translation, visitors to the site will need to click on the country flag of choice on the home page and wait a few seconds for the translation to appear. "We recognised that we had a world-wide audience in the crop production industry but we were not making life that easy for those wanting information or to register on-line for one of our events and Seminars," explained Mr Chris Todd, managing director of BCPE. "There may be the occasional anomaly in the translations but we hope that this goes a long way to making life easier for the many people around the world that are interested in BCPC and its activities." |
