US Report: Multilingual world wide web

08:01 Thursday 23rd July 1998

This year, the number of new non-English Web sites is expected to outpace the growth of new sites in English, as the cyber world truly becomes a "World Wide Web."

The fastest growing groups of Web newbies are non-English-speaking: Spanish, 22.4 percent; Japanese, 12.3 percent; German, 14 percent; and French, 10 percent.

An estimated 55.7 million people access the Web whose native language is not English. But the translation market is seemingly endless. Only 6 percent of the world population speaks English as a native language (16 percent speak Spanish), while about 80 percent of all Web pages are in English.

The leading translation firms are mobilising to seize the opportunities. Such as: Systran has partnered with Alta Vista and reports between 500,000 and 600,000 visitors a day on babelfish.altavista.digital.com, and about 1 million translations per day – ranging from recipes to complete Web pages.
