Multilingual Website Design & Development

The four main questions that come to mind when one starts work on multilingual projects and websites are: Does your website attract visitors from around the world? Do your budding customers speak different languages? How can you communicate with them? Does the purpose of your product solve the end users needs?

For all these questions the best answer would be to speak in the language of the end users.
