Online analytics service Clicky has announced their plans to translate and localize the service into about ten of their top requested languages. The languages include: German, Spanish, Portugese, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish and Dutch. Facebook recently began a translation project as well.

This is a "community" project — that means Clicky is asking its users to do the translation. You select a language and are presented with a term to translate. After the translations are in the system, you can vote on which translation is best and then a winner for each needed translation will be selected. What I’d like to see added is a percentage of total completion for each language.

Are you thinking about translation and localization as you develop your Web applications? While not applicable in every case, localization can bring new visitors and potential incremental revenue. If you aren’t thinking of localization, please share your reasons why.
