Ask HN: Which language localizations first?

6 点作者 pace超过 13 年前

We started a successful site generating lots of organic traffic. We already localized to English, German, Spanish and Chinese. Which language should be the next in your opinion (regarding highest reach combined with strong Internet usage and purchasing power)?

What does your data say? Check your web analytics, support tickets, etc.

Just curious, how did you go about doing localization: who did you hire, how long did it take, and how much did it cost?

You could do what Amazon.com did and expand into countries based on their GDP.
