The real issue is we have no developers to spare to even help with the process. I just hate to have something started and then all that hard work to go waste.
Sometimes we all have to put projects on the 'back burner', due to lack of resources or time.

I sell products all over the world and depend totally on the free online translation services to communicate with my customer base. Hopefully I haven't told anyone to do anything indecent yet..... lol :)

Be careful with those online translation services. Maybe you won't get any indecent translation of something perfectly innocent, but you may risk talking at cross purposes with your customers, miss the points and ruin a deal. Has happened before...

As long as I don't inadvertently offer to marry someone, I am happy to live with the risks of online translation services. :)

I have a philosophy about business, that if customers want a product badly enough, they'll overcome any obstacles to get it. That includes my web facilitated attempts at translation too. :cool:

Customers are there to make me money. Not spend it for me. :)

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
