I have been aware for some time (from viewing the Typepad “visitors’ stats”) that Honest Medicine is becoming a truly international site, with visitors from countries such as France, China and Germany – to name just a few.
This got me to thinking: What about the visitor who happens upon this site, but needs some help with understanding the content because of a lack of proficiency in English?
Thanks to the Google for its translation software, I think I have found a solution.
By clicking on the links below, you will find the Honest Medicine site translated into several languages. Since I am not fluent in most of them, I cannot fully attest to their accuracy. However, I have a very modest knowledge of Russian, and find the Russian translation to be amazingly accurate.
Please note that, in some cases – for instance, the Russian – if you place your curser lightly over the copy, the original English will appear, as well, allowing you to have a simultaneous translation! AND, when you click on links to other articles on the translated Honest Medicine site, as well as links to articles on other sites, you will find that they have been translated by Google, as well.
I hope that the links below will help to make more visitors feel welcome, and that this, in turn, will help to make Honest Medicine a truly international site!
Isn't this an incredible option to be able to offer? Wow!
