I's a strategy for getting the business going. Obviously you begin localising once you've got some traction.

- troels 13y agoNo, you need localisation to get traction. People are surprisingly fond of their own language, even if they are almost fluent in English. At least if you're dealing with consumers.
- raverbashing 13y agoIf you do localization, don't think only language will cut it. Address systems, payment systems, "simply taking credit cards" may not cut it. But in the end you have to launch targeting one or more countries, whatever comes beyond that is "free". And of course, you start from day 0 to make your system Unicode compliant.
- troels 13y agoCuriously, charsets actually is less of an issue within EU - Latin1 should cover. (Not that anyone should use that in a modern app today) But otherwise I agree with your sentiments - Language is just one of several problems. Most of which are external to the product.
