Online Language Translation RequestsThe In Demand Online Language Translation requests are a list of how specific online language translation requests rank within the english search engines, based on actual searches made in a recent month. If you have a translation service, are searchers looking for your language specialization? You will not find this info anywhere else on the web, I did the calculations myself, they are not copied. Here are the top online language translation requests that were made within the english search engines during the listed months below.
October 2002 - Click here to go to the online language translation requests list. January 2003 - Click here to go to the online language translation requests list. Did you look at the lists? - How do I arrive at this info? Well, there are two parts to this answer… what I do, and what my Brainstorm/Manager tool does. Let's start with the tool I use … It is a product that has surpassed all of my expectations, so I am going to rave about it a bit … I have searched and searched, in all sincerity there is NOTHING out there that even comes close to what it delivers, so it is worth your time to read on … I use SiteBuildIt! to acquire the above listed on line translation info … and as the name implies, I am using it to build this site and I am also using it to build and send my Newsletter. SiteBuildIt! (SBI!) has something like 15 modules (with more coming very soon), so it does way more than build sites, newsletters, and gather search engine info … as if this isn't already a lot! … If you have ever tried to do the above three tasks, then you know what I am talking about. The name SiteBuildIt! makes you think of … well … building a site. I don't want to criticize the creators, but I think they should call it … CreateACuttingEdgeOnlineBusinessAndLeaveCompetitorsScratchingTheirHeadsBuildIt! It doesn't flow as well, but it describes the product better. … but for now, let's talk about how I gathered the info necessary to give you the above In Demand Online Language Translation requests lists. SBI! has a module that is called the "Manager", and within the "Manager" is a brainstorming tool. To make a long story short, I use the Manager and the brainstorming tool to dig up ALL the translation keywords used in the last month. *** side note*** I don't want to get into all the nuts and bolts of the process (if you want to get the "long story" - the actual SBI! Action Guide manual - I'll point you to where you can find it, (as a free download, no obligations - you can read all 600 or so pages of how to best use this great product). It is the same exact manual that I have, I'll tell you how you can get it further down. *** side note *** Once I had gathered my 200 or so translation oriented keywords, with some elbow grease and simple math, I was able to determine the percentages and extract the In Demand Online Language Translation requests lists you now have access to. You see, the SBI! Manager not only digs up ALL the keywords used around your chosen theme, it gives the DEMAND and SUPPLY of each keyword. The DEMAND is a relative number of times the specific keyword in question was searched for by people. The SUPPLY is the number of web pages that offer content for the specific keyword in question. This number doesn't interest us for the above In Demand Online Language Translation requests lists, but it is GREAT info for other reasons. What I do is look at the DEMAND part of my keywords list and order the languages accordingly. Some languages have as many as 12 translation oriented keywords - I add up all the searches made amongst the specific keywords to get my overall DEMAND for that online language. For example, Portuguese has 2 specific keywords (regarding translation), 1124 searches for one, 397 for the other, 1124 + 397 = 1521 … this is the overall DEMAND for Portuguese. (This is a relative number, not the total of actual searches made in all engines.) Once I had all the overall DEMAND numbers for all the translation requests for each language, I just did some simple math and came up with the percentages. I didn't consider general keywords like "Dutch", only the keywords that could be considered real translation searches … like "Dutch translate". An important point to keep in mind… The DEMAND figures that allowed me to create the above In Demand Online Language Translation requests lists are based on the languages in regards to English. These listings come from the English language searches. If, for example, you look at what Italians might be searching for (in Italian), from the .it domains, you will get some differing results. I haven't explored the international searches from different countries and languages. If I was inclined to do this, English would probably result number 1. So, with this in mind, consider the above In Demand Online Language Translation requests lists as one side of many coins. Does this make sense? To make it clearer, the above In Demand Online Language Translation requests lists are based only on English searches within the search engines. The info now in your hands is very useful, there are a lot of practical ways in which you can put this info to your use. Also, if you are a translator and your specialized language is low on the these lists, don't despair. I have some ideas that might help you out. I'll talk about these challenges in my Newsletter, and in articles that I am writing specifically for translators... these will go within my Translators Resources page I don't want to upset you, but to be honest, the real juicy info … the really powerful stuff that the SBI! Manager provides … I have to partially keep to myself. If I gave away this language translation info too easily, I would be shooting myself in the foot (if not the head!). I am a generous person by nature, but I have learned (by the school of hard knocks!) that if you indiscriminately dangle a big fish over the sea, hoping that a nice dolphin will eat it gratefully, in this day and age the unfortunate reality is you're much more likely to have your arm mauled off by some big, fat, nasty shark! If you really want to have a tool that can help you start or better your translation business, take a look at SiteBuildIt. Keep in mind that I only mentioned 3 out of the 15 built in SBI! modules. Go see for yourself what the other modules can do for your business, it's impressive and beyond comparisons. (There is no one offering anything like it … how can you compare it?)

You might still have a big question mark regarding this newly acquired In Demand Online Language Translation requests lists … "neat stuff, but what the heck do I do now?" Hang in there, I am currently writing several new pages for my web site. I will post other types of online language statistics and international spending trends. I am also writing several articles to help tie together "the bigger picture" of what is happening within the translation world. There are so many factors involved in getting a clear idea as to what is happening within the online translation world, with all the different languages, different search engines, different types of searchers (tire kickers or potential "real" clients), etc., that it can seem mind boggling, perhaps even impossible to get a clear idea as to what is happening, but some lightbulbs are lighting within my mind and I believe to have some very valid theories supported by real statistics and real experience (mine), to make a valid attempt at pulling it all together. If you don't want to keep coming back to see if there are new pages, sign-up to my Translate to Success Newsletter , I'll boil down the essential info and send it to you. The In Demand Online Languages list's main function, really, is to help anyone who wants to better their translation oriented web site's position with the major english search engines. This list gives a pulse on what businesses and individuals are searching for to satisy their translation needs. But it is incomplete. It gives you a general idea, but not the specifics that are necessary to make it work. To make it complete, you need to either get a program like SiteBuildIt! , or there is another possibility… go get this free download that explains exactly what you need to do to obtain each particular keyword manually. It is a system that works, and you don't have to spend a dime to make it work - just your time. The free download is called The Service Sellers Masters Course , I highly recommend it. I like the philosophy … if someone is hungry, it is good to give them a fish, but it is even better to give them the equipment and then teach them how to fish for themselves.
