I'm just wondering how I can sucessfully translate text on the fly without huge cost.
Dianna,

IMHO, that is impossible.
You can't automatically translate from one language to another. Translating stories from one language to another with a computer program is guaranteed to be a failure.

I've seen several US companies who probably thought that would work, but it doesn't. Just look at Paycom's billing support site, the only thing the Dutch translation is good for, is a good laugh.

You can't easily market to "Europe" as a whole. You probably should target each country separately. Nearly each country has their own language, their own payment systems and their own customs.

I guess the best bet is to work together with local companies..

Greetings,
