Nowadays there’s nothing unusual about expanding your business into new markets. Living in such a globalized world means more than ever people are doing business across borders, purchasing products, services and goods at a rate we haven’t seen before. This has seen the growth of translation plugins within the WordPress eco-system.
Entering new markets has never been more accessible due to advances in technology and developments in societies, not to mention huge foreign investments. And, for those looking to expand, naturally one of the first places you might look at is your website.
