Website Translation Tools

- by Greg Alvey

The number of visitors to www.folkfolkartinbottles.com continues to grow, and the largest growth is from visitors from other countries through the world.

To assist these visitors, flags of the countries that bring the most number of visitors to the webiste are displayed in the upper right-hand side of the each page. By clicking on the flag of country of choice, the webpage will automatically become translated in the language represented by the flag.  Below that is a drop down menu that allows you to select from the major languages from around the world.

Visitors whose native language is not represented can always use any number of internet translation programs which are readily available.  One of the most versatile and useful translation programs is Google translation tools, and can be found at: http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en. At that site, you can translate terms, phrases, and fairly large blocks of text.  You can also translate an entire website by copying the url of the website and choosing the language you wish have translated. 

I will continue to strive to find ways to make your visits to my website easier and more enjoyable.  I welcome your ideas and suggestions for the site, and always, I look forward to hearing from you about your own bottles and experiences with ships, folk art and whimsies built in bottles.

Sincerely,
