What is the most translated website in the world?

There are literally millions of websites and many of them are translated into several languages. Translating a website has become a basic business obligation today. But what is the most translated website in the world? Which website offers the most different versions of its content?

Well, the undisputed champion when it comes to offering multilingual translations of its content is neither Apple, nor Microsoft, nor Adobe, nor the United Nations or the European Union, as one could say. wait there. This is the website of Jehovah's Witnesses (https://www.jw.org), which as its URL indicates, offers a secure connection. The website of Jehovah's Witnesses has been translated into more than 780 languages and dialects, from Abkhaz to Zulu. Far behind is Wikipedia , a community-based global effort model with 287 languages. The first commercial portal is that of Apple , translated into 130 languages. The Vatican website is translated into 10 languages (including Latin). TheEuropean Union has 24 official and working languages, all national languages, plus 2 regional languages (Welsh and Catalan) which can be used co-officially in some documents. Translating religious texts into so many languages is not easy. It requires the support of an enthusiastic community willing to use translation to convey an important message. In many ways, the effort on the websites of Jehovah's Witnesses and Wikipedia reveals the community's influence in translating information, even in the case of ancient texts. Indeed, the cost of these translations would have been much too high if these entities had to resort to translation agencies.because these service providers are currently facing a very high demand.

Why is the Jehovah's Witnesses website the most translated in the world?

Any professional translator can tell you that translating a website into 5 or 10 languages and managing its translation and publication is not easy. Translating into more than 750 languages represents a considerable effort. Anyone involved in the internationalization of a website will emphasize the importance of teamwork and the resources needed. The approach of Jehovah's Witnesses deserves a real case study. They have meticulously achieved these translations according to their purpose and have managed to offer their audience texts in the language of their choice. Other religions, including wider ones, have never done so. Some argue that this phenomenon is related to the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses immediately translate each of their publications into all the languages in which they preach. Jehovah's Witnesses use every new publication in an immediate and active way in all their activities of spreading their word around the world.The organization's approach to translation was motivated in large part by the desire to exploit all the content already published for decades in print (The Watchtower, etc.). Previously, anyone could request a print version of their publications, which would be sent to them by mail. However, since the democratization of the Internet as a communication platform, the organization has naturally adapted its way of doing things in terms of translation in order to spread its word through this new medium. It is, however, surprising that other religions or groups seeking to engage believers or to preach their religion have not used their pre-Internet material to develop their websites.
