In a global economy companies have to offer proper
services to other languages' users. Many firms are marketed
outside their country of origin and this internationalization
generates language and design problems. We can see some
of these difficulties in Oracle web site. The navigation

Conclusions: It is necessary test the target audience
before launching a site in a foreign language.
