Translation agency Tomedes reveals the world's most translated website. Fascinating reading for translators, linguists and anyone who enjoys understanding more about the reach of the internet.
4. The site has been translated into a staggering
731 different languages, as well as many
different nationalities’ sign languages
5. To put that in perspective, Apple’s website has been translated into 126
languages, Google’s search page is available in 149 languages and
Wikipedia has content available in 290 languages
6. Additionally, the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ physical
publications are translated into even more languages
and distributed globally – a staggering feat of
coordinated translation
7. The Watchtower, in
the US, is the global
HQ of Jehovah’s
Witnesses and all
adherents must be
able to read its
publications, hence
the vast number of
translations
8. The huge volume of translations is an extensive effort to include all
believers, no mater what their background or native tongue may be –
the work that goes into it is mind-boggling!
