CNNGo会讲更多“闲话”了

给大家猜个谜语。有什么东西能比一个单一语言的网站更好？一个四种语言的网站……这个很好答嘛！

CNNGo已经学会了更多“闲话”。现在我们不仅讲英文，还能用日文、简体中文和繁体中文进行交流与信息发布。

这也就意味着，上我们上海、东京与香港页面的用户如今有了一个新选择：他们既能看到英文内容，也可以用在当地更有优势的本土语言浏览。

我们为什么要这么做？很简单，我们的读者说，他们很难分享我们网上的内容，因为不是每个人都会或者都应该读懂英文。要是你还没尝试过，那我们先给你打个“预防针”，要读懂一篇用你不会的语言写的文章还是比较痛苦的。

另外，CNNGo本身就是一个关乎于你们的城市和生活的网站。我们有一个十分聪明、很有销路也超级响亮的口号：本地视角，全球体验。这也就难怪我们会用真正当地人使用的语言来传递信息。真是恭喜我们啊！

在把语言本地化之后，CNNGo也凸现了自己的宗旨：为读者提供对亚洲主要城市的终极、深入向导。由于中国和日本位居亚太地区最大、最重要国家的行列，将这两个国家的内容本地化能帮助我们找到更多用户，推动我们实施网站的战略。

我们说得够多的了，大家还是来看看网站吧。我们找到了一些顶尖的中文与日文编辑来打点内容。他们不仅会上传英文文章的翻译，也会带来原创的中文和日文内容。这事花了我们好一会儿才做成。

与此同时，我们还将展示中文与日文的博客，让用这两种语言交流和写作的才子佳人发表他们对于这些城市的看法，不仅仅是上哪儿玩、干些什么或看哪些东西，还有一切一切赋予了这个地方无限个性的人、事和物。

你可以在这里看到这些本地语言页面：日文版、繁体中文版和简体中文版。

酷！正啊！すごい！

What is better than a site in one language? A site that is in four languages! Duh.

We've gone multilingual, rolling out CNNGo in Japanese and both Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

This means that visitors to our Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong sections have the choice to read our content in English or in the predominant local language.

Why did we do this? Well, our readers tell us they've been aching to share our content and obviously not everyone can, or should have to, read English. If you haven’t tried it, it’s kinda tough to read something when it’s in a language you don't understand.

And besides, CNNGo is a site about your city and your world. "Local insights, global experiences" is our clever, highly marketable and extremely catchy tagline. So it makes good sense to make sure we deliver our goods in the language that people speak and read. Big pats on the back to us.

The local language sites reinforce CNNGo's commitment to providing the ultimate insider guide for Asia's greatest cities. And with China and Japan being two of the biggest countries in Asia Pacific, it's in keeping with our strategy to reach more users in these countries in their own language.

So, check it out. It's taken us a bit to get here, we've brought in some top Chinese and Japanese editors to look after these sections and will be posting not only our English content in local languages but also original Japanese and Chinese pieces.

We'll also be showcasing Chinese and Japanese blogs and also giving more voice to Chinese and Japanese-speaking/writing folks in these cities, not only on where to go, what to do and see, but also on all the things that give a place its identity. 

You can view the sites here: Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.

酷！正啊！すごい！
