Language
Some information may only be available in languages other than English. You should be certain of the client's fluency in these languages before embarking on the search.
Some websites have a facility which permits you to choose the language. This is usually very simple to do.

Go to http://www.easyjet.com/en/book/index.asp and view the site in Italian. Look at http://www.artis.nl/ and change the site from Dutch to English. |
Some search engines permit you to specify the language of the websites. Some also have a translation facility from a foreign language into English and from English into a foreign language.

Try this out in Google. Go to http://www.google.co.uk/ and click the "Search the web" option, then click on "language tools". Search for websites about "días de fiesta" (this means holidays) which are written in Spanish and located in Mexico. Choose some Spanish text from one of these websites, copy and paste it into the Translate Box and ask Google to translate it into English for you. |
