English has always been the dominant language on the Web but we cannot ignore the fact that a significant number of Internet users either don’t speak English or prefer to use their native language for Web transactions.

You bet, the ratio of English to non-English users should be almost 50-50? or even if it is 60-40 — Is it worth loosing a client just because they are non-English user? I’m sure your answer will be “No – its not worth loosing clients!!” So my question is what actions are you taking to prevent your non-English speaking clients? some will say they need tools that will allow non-English users to communicate with them,.
