Translating your ebooks and sites for foreign markets

[nicky52001]

It seems like you are loosing potential customers and markets if your ebooks and websites are only in English. I mean English is the international language, but still
if you can target the Spanish speaking people by translating all your sites to Spanish you will get much better results. Did anyone actually tried to do this or what do you think of this?

Nicky........this is very true........it is easy to forget that the Internet reaches around the globe and that everybody is a potential customer.

I am interested to hear some different experiences and opinions on this subject.

Nicky..........that kind of thing drives me crazy.........I also don't understand how somebody connected to the Internet cannot take 2 minutes to educate themselves about a term they are not familiar with. I cannot stand laziness and ignorance. :angry:

I also hold the ideal of free market economics close to my heart so when somebody is ignorant of Laissez-faire policy I tend to get offended. :lol:

What are "lassie-faire" laws?

Laissez-faire is short for "laissez faire, laissez passer," a French phrase meaning "let do, let pass." It is pronounced approximately lessEH fare, lessEH pahssEH.

First used by the eighteenth century Physiocrats as an injunction against government interference with trade, it is now used as a synonym for strict free market economics. Laissez-faire economic policy is in direct contrast to statist economic policy. Adam Smith played a large role in popularizing laissez-faire economic theories in English-speaking countries, though he was critical of a number of aspects of what is currently thought of as laissez-faire (such as lack of government regulation of business practices).

As well as being used in economic management, the term has also been applied more broadly to a style of management and leadership. It describes any form of control where the controlled are given most or all of the decision-making power.

Some use the term anarchist as a synonym for this use of laissez-faire. Small Government and Minarchism are other synonyms used when describing this theory being applied to government. Both terms can include economic policy.

Some critics of laissez-faire argue that the attainment of pure capitalism is impossible, for example since it is difficult to deal with market failures without an active role for government.

Laissez-faire (imperative) is distinct from laisser faire (infinitive), which refers to a careless attitude in the application of a policy, implying a lack of consideration or thought.

Good work Adrian.

This is key...........
