YouTube is now offering (or at least experimenting) translation in video descriptions, this new feature helps you to improve your online presence because more people in different languages and countries will know what your videos are for, and with the latest Close Caption function that YouTube has just implemented, you will have a powerful tool to attract more visitors to watch your videos and improve your online visibility around the globe.

Take a look at the next image. Using (a) the English interface, I made a search on YouTube for the term (b) “Publicidad en Internet”, a Spanish phrase that means “Internet Advertising”, as you can see in YouTube search results, you have 2 options where you can select:
(1) Check box to translate automatically all the video descriptions in result pages, or
(2) Click individually each video description to make the translation into your native language.

This second image shows the results after clicking the first check box to translate all the video descriptions in the search results.

As you can see, YouTube is building more powerful tools that are turning a video in a better way to improve your online visibility, and with more than 250 million monthly visitors, YouTube is becoming an excellent tool for your multilingual internet marketing strategies that you can use in your behalf.

Service isn’t still available for all YouTube sites around the world, but you can use it in French, Italian and some more.

ClickTale collected and analyzed data from over 1 million visitors during the months of May and June 2008, they measured Internet speeds using the average page loading speeds from each country.

Page loading speeds vary from 1.1 to 5.5 seconds. Israel and Dutch surfers have the quickest page load, while Chinese and Brazilian surfers have the slowest page loading rating.

For almost all countries, the page loading speed vary between 1.6 and 3 seconds. The variation in Internet speed could have been caused by several of these factors:

1. The disparity of communication infrastructures between countries.
2. Broadband vs. dial-up penetrations for each country.
3. The speed and type of the computers used to surf the web.
4. The types of websites visited by the different populations. Rich media sites with photos and movies would take much longer time to load than plain text sites.
5. The location of websites being visited also counts. Web Sites hosted physically near the surfers may provide faster page loading speeds.

The next graphic illustrates the results more effectively.

There are additional interesting results, like this one. For every added second that takes to load a page, a web surfer spends an extra 6 seconds browsing it. You can read the entire post directly in:

Delta Airlines, the largest domestic carrier in the country recently merged with Northwest Airlines expects to have more than 330 equipped airplanes to provide the service by the end of the next year, they will be the only major US airline to offer this wireless service.

The service provided by Aircell’s GoGo is affordable, prices for regular flights, less than 3 hours, $ 9.95 USD and $12.95 USD for longer than three hours.

The well recognized columnist from Wall Street Journal, Walt Mossberg made a test flight from San Francisco to Aircell’s home base in Colorado to test out the service. He averaged 500 to 600 Kbps down and 300 Kbps up, not a blazing speed, but nevertheless fast enough to access decently all your needs. One important factor is that Skype or messaging services with VoIP capabilities are not allowed.

The next video shows all the details, watch Walt Mossberg explaining his test results and how the service will work.
