What I think about becoming multilingual

At Alaudae.JP, we wanted to check how to build a web using Joomla, which can be made multilingual, and wanted to make the unofficial 'Country Sisters' fan site multilingual.

Currently, we are operating in 'Japanese, English, and Czech' languages.
All of the official 'Country Sisters' fan sites are multilingual, but some content on Alaudae.JP is not yet supported. If you have time, you can make the unsupported content multilingual at any time.

My thoughts on the multilingual site, which has been around for about a month and a half.

It's a pain to spend as much time as you need to write texts for updates such as blogs and announcements. But it's fun to learn about the grammar and vocabulary of languages you don't know.
However, since it's an automatic translation, I'm most worried about whether the sentences I'm conveying make sense. But I personally think that since I check each one myself and write them down, I can convey my feelings.

If you copy and paste automatic translations with a grain of salt, it can have incredible meanings, so this is a learning experience.
There is no complete, perfect website. Also, automatic translation is just a tool, and you only need to correct any mistakes that are pointed out.

Even with such convenient automatic translation, there are things that cannot be translated.
Banners, images, etc. Even on sites that use fully automated translation tools, banners and images cannot be made into multiple languages, which gives a bad impression. This is especially common on sites that have a large number of pages, want to maintain the old layout, and have simply been automatically translated.

From a management standpoint, it makes no sense. Multilingualization from the user's perspective is important.
With Joomla, anyone can run a site without any effort after preparing the foundation for initial web construction.

The answer lies in the website you are currently viewing. Do you think it's a lie?

Even though the world is in various troubles due to the effects of Wuhan pneumonia and the Wuhan virus, it is important to look forward to a bright future and make steady efforts to move forward.
