As companies increase their investments in emerging markets, Web globalization has crossed-over from luxury to necessity. But successfully taking a website global isn’’t easy. Every new market and language poses a host of new cultural and technical challenges.

This session provides attendees with a solid grounding in web globalization best practices through profiles of real-world medical and pharmaceutical websites, including Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson.

Yunker will share key findings from his recent study, The 2008 Web Globalization Report Card, in which he rated more than 200 global Web sites across a dozen industries.

Attend this session if you want to learn about:

  • Global navigation: Tips on improving user traffic to your localized websites.
  • Global design: How to design a global website that is both globally consistent yet locally flexible.
  • Global content management: Trends in managing websites across brands and borders.
  • Translation memory and machine translation: How companies are using these technologies to improve customer support on the web (and lower costs).
