Hi,
I am looking at the best/logical way to do this., i work with a manufacturer and for one of their products we have a product brochure website that is in 14 different languages and domains, (e.g. mysite.de, mysite.fr mysite.es etc...)
Each site was professionally translated but never really promoted or any seo work done.
I am thinking of adding a 'buy now' button on each of the sites, however the manufacturer does not want to be the online seller (because this would probably upset their other distributors) so I am forced to bring the actual transaction/cart part off the original site (e.g. mysite.de, mysite.fr mysite.es etc...) and into another site where they can buy it. This site can be a .com domain and handle all foreign sites feeding into it.
Q1: what options/pitfalls are out there for multiple languages when using an ecomm suite?
Q2: Is it necessary to have the cart part of site in local language, if in English will it turn potential buyers away?
I might try paypal to test the water so-to-speak and see if the product actually sells
any pointers would be much appreciated,
