web are in english.Yet English is the mother tongue for only 5,4% of the worlds population,
while a further 7% of the worlds population are proficient speakers of English. This means
that only around 12% of the worlds population can communicate well in English. This figure
is nowhere near the total number of people speaking Chinese languaeges , which, at 20,7% is
much higher.More and more people are accessing the internet nowDya, including many
companyes wanting to conduct e-business. As a conseguence, the position of English is
beginning to change. Both Europe and asia are growth areas, with businesses increasing their
use of the internet and people would apparently rather buy things online if they can order in
their own language.It has been predicted that by 2003 only one third of the internet users will
be speakers of english. As a result, companies wanting to reach world markets are beginning
to realise that they will have to translate their websites for their various
customers
