To many British people, learning a foreign language is difficult, time-consuming and, to be honest, too much like hard work.  However, there are already many words taken from other languages which have been assimilated into everyday English without translation, yet everyone knows their meaning.

If you are travelling abroad with no way of making yourself understood, some Google-powered phones now have a translator function installed which can be activated by simply speaking the phrase you require into the phone and the phone will give you the translation either as text or in a computerised voice.

US Patent - Issued In 2004

We've all done it.  We've missed cell phone calls from a translation agency offering us work because our phone was in our pocket or purse and we just couldn't answer it before it went to voice mail.

The internet is changing. Every year more than 1 billion people use the internet and the majority of those are non-English speakers. For businesses in English speaking countries this change in dynamics presents both a challenge and opportunity. Through their English only websites they are tapping a small percentage of the online audience. However, with minimal investment and effort through a website translation there are endless opportunities in terms of expansion and increased revenue.
