In this video, Daniel Rajkumar presents the case study of the South African Airways website localisation project delivered by Web-Translations.

South African Airways chose to use OpenCms as the content management system for their multilingual flight booking site. This video outlines the project, challenges that were faced and the fantastic results that were achieved.

A few customers have recently asked me if they should host their multilingual sites locally for the market they are targeting, while others with locally hosted sites have asked me about the implications of moving to the cloud.

Reading between the lines, the premise of such questions tends to centre around SEO and so my post is somewhat more marketing-oriented than IT. All comments are welcome.
