- Japanese Bilingual Web Sites</u></font></p>
<p>One of Rocky Bee's main activities is designing web sites in Japanese
and in English for clients. When producing bilingual web sites the most
productive method might seem to be to simply translate and duplicate contents
already created in one language to the other language. But this often
does not achieve the desired results. The two languages do not translate
well (e.g. a literal translation of "touch wood" would probably
not be understood). There are cultural as well as language differences
to consider. Rocky Bee can provide in depth guidance in many crucial areas
which will assist you in launching a web site which can truly be appreciated
by your clients in Japan.</p>
<p>Once you have your bilingual web site, you will need to consider how
you will maintain it and properly respond to inquiries made in Japanese.
Rocky Bee can undertake maintenance of your site and, depending on the
product, may be contracted as your agent. Creation of your Japanese/English
web site can be the first step in your actual startup in Japan. For further
information regarding the Rocky Bee Agency please view<a href="/business/agency.html" target="_parent">
agency.html ;</a> there is more about startups in Japan at <a href="/business/japanstartups.html" target="_parent">japanstartups.html.</a>
</p>
<p>Alternatively your staff in Japan can be trained to maintain your site.
For more information regarding training of personnel please visit <a href="/business/stafftraining.html" target="_parent">stafftraining.html.
</a>The clear "must" these days is to update your web site regularly
with new and interesting information so that visitors keep returning to
it. Creation of websites for business purposes these days needs to be
strategically planned. It is in the interest for Rocky Bee to work hand
in hand with clients and to participate in the launching of projects which
are successful.</p>
