Hi Jenny
I don't have any experience of doing this but one thing I would say is
don't forget Deaf users who may want content in BSL and also people who
find it difficult to read web pages and may want the page read to them.

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project with the National Gallery around foreign
language content online.
I was wondering what approach other Museums/Galleries have taken when it
comes to offering foreign language content. Do you offer a simple
information page in different languages or do you attempt to translate
some/all of your website?
In particular, I was wondering if anyone has experience of implementing
Google Translate (or similar) on their websites?
Thoughts on its success/failures or if it was rejected in favour of a
different approach would be really appreciated.
Many thanks,
Jenny
