No one speaks bilingual and they'd prefer not to read in email either. Language-of-choice emails got a 20 or 21 per cent higher open rate and a 16 per cent higher click rate than bilingual messages with the same content.

I gave a workshop on web writing to a group of communications professionals all of whom had been in the biz since before ever there was an internet. (Mind you so have I, but never mind).

Self serve content. The webmaster is dead! Long live the content management system. Freedom from the tedium of pee slash pee pee slash pee bee slash bee. Nice idea. But it's not quite that simple. April 7, 2003 02:36 PM
