The most important why's for most people is that internationalization saves time and money. Many companies will eventually decide that they need to present thier site in another language based on some sort of compelling business objective. Once that point comes, if the site isn't internationalized, it's probably going to be expensive and slow to roll it out in another language. There'll be lots of re-engineering activities that will have to be made in panic mode. Who needs that when you can build the right architecture up front? Suzanne Topping BizWonk Inc.
