TEL-AVIV, Israel, Aug. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The international Internet Company Babylon Ltd., a leading provider of online dictionary and translation solutions, has launched a new special translation solution for Chinese surfers, free of charge.
The launching of this solution to the Chinese market will enable every private user in Greater China to enjoy and use Babylon's translation services from a range of languages into Chinese, at no cost. The Babylon solution also includes full text translation, accessed in a single click of the mouse.
The new model enables local Chinese partners, such as leading search engines, content sites, Internet service providers and content distributors in China to offer a free translation service to their surfers and customers via a co-branded version of the Babylon solution.
Furthermore, Babylon offers its distribution partners, revenue share from advertising that will be integrated within the translation software, as well as in the search results.
Today, over 100,000 Chinese Internet surfers visit Babylon's Site each month. With the launch of the free solution, these users will now be offered the new software. At this stage, Babylon is focusing on two major target groups: one group are students who constitute approximately 35% of the total surfers in China and have a greater need for using a service like Babylon and, the second group are Chinese users who have an affinity to the West.
"We put special emphasis on the Chinese internet market, which is growing at the fastest rate worldwide and has become the largest Web surfing country in the world in terms of users online," says Oren Azulay, Head of Babylon China. "China is opening to the West and needs solutions that will assist in bridging the language gaps in order to overcome cultural differences and the physical distance." Azulay further added: "Today, the ability to communicate in a foreign language is a main key to success and Babylon is excited about the fact that it can assist."
