    Bilingual site!

    Hi all! Please give me an idea of what sort of impression my site gives you.

    I actually like it. The orange is very strong, but you pulled it off well. The text has a good white background making it easy to read. You have a number of links that take you to places you can go in your paragraphs.

    Maybe make it so that when you click on your logo that is in the top left, it takes you to the home page. I tried doing that, but didn't work. The logo is simple, but it works well and I like the little sun.

    Nothing really stands out that is wrong or I couldn't figure out. I did notice under "What's Translation" and then the tab "Translation Software" that you misspelled "encyclopedia" in your second paragraph.

    Overall it looks good and I would consider getting a quote if I needed your services for a website that people of Spanish decent were reading. The only time I would be hesitant is in translating a site that people in Mexico would be reading. Is the Spanish the same in Mexico as it is in Spain?

    'Encyclopaedia' is the correct spelling according to the Oxford English Dictionary although in US English the "a" is omited.

    Yes they are different but maybe as similar as British and US English. If the translation is to be used in multiple countries a translation by a spanish translator would be preferable.

    Never knew that , I always used encyclopedia.com. Turns out their is a encyclopaedia.com as well. I wonder which gets more hit?

    Best of luck with the site.
