Summary:
Five years from now you would see many bilingual websites (English and Japanese) in Japan. The Tokyo Olympic is held in Japan, the year of 2020. We, Japanese, expect many, many overseas tourists coming from all over the world and have to prepare for welcoming. One of them is information in different languages. I hope Joomla would find a place to meet those needs.
Outline:
The year 2020 is Tokyo Olympic year in Japan. Many overseas tourists are coming. The Japanese government and Japanese business people are starting to prepare for that big event. Last year more than 13 million overseas tourists visited Japan and we expect this year, more than 20 million.
Japanese websites are mostly in Japanese. The bilingual or multilingual websites are not prominent. At least we believe Japanese and English bilingual web site is a must for informing things Japanese.
■ Is Joomla easy or difficult to build a bilingual web site in Japan?
