One of my first startup was a webmail service available in 17 languages a few months after launch. The focus on being able to internationalize it easily was a big deal in terms of getting traction, and once we had the infrastructure, rolling out new languages was trivial.

We even launched a Catalan version, and the cost of doing a translation was well worth the PR it generated for even (or maybe especially) a minor market like that.



Where is that service now?
