Telefonkatalogen.biz Offers Online Marketing Services That Bridge Languages, Cultures

A new study finds that the vast majority of search engine users perform searches in multiple languages—a finding that prompts a response from leading online listing company Telefonkatalogen.biz.

Oslo, Norway (I-Newswire) June 27, 2012 - For many users of online search engines, it is easy to forget just how global the Internet truly is. Because most search engines display content that is only in the user’s native tongue, it often goes unnoticed that an entire world of search results and online listings is out there, with many of these Web entries appearing in tongues, and coming from cultures, well beyond those of the user. A new study finds that the global nature of the Internet is something that impacts search engine behavior on a daily basis. In fact, the study finds that the vast majority of search engine users—76%, in fact—conduct online searches in two languages or more. This finding has prompted a response from Norway’s leading catalog listing company, Telefonkatalogen.biz —itself a company that is very familiar with bridging cultural and linguistic gaps on the Internet.

The study affirms the fact that may search users assume bilingual Internet use to be limited, even though the vast majority of search engine users are, in fact, prone to multi-lingual searches. The study notes that those who work in fields such as IT or online marketing are the ones who are most likely to try a search in more than one language.

Meanwhile, Telefonkatalogen.biz— one of the leading online marketing and search engine placement firms in Norway—has responded to the study with its own press statement, noting the practical implications of this new, multilingual search finding. “In Norway, many users of the internet are in fact multilingual, and therefore are able to search in more than one language,” the Telefonkatalogen.biz statement affirms.

The statement is quick to affirm, however, that Norway is far from the only nation to boast multilingual search users. The Telefonkatalogen.biz makes particular note of some of the geographic findings from the new report. “This is really a sign of the times, and of how the walls between languages and culture are increasingly torn down by the evolution of the Internet,” says the statement. “It is particularly interesting that Spain and France are so prominent on this list.”

The company’s statement concludes with an observation about the role that the English language plays in the increased globalization of Internet search. “It seems most likely for search engine users to be fluent in English, in addition to their native language, because a lot of programming uses English as the primary language. So to be a programmer in 2012, you are almost forced to be bilingual, knowing both your native tongue, and the English language.”

Telefonkatalogen.biz — offers online listing and SEO services to companies throughout Norway, helping them gain increased visibility to search engine users of all different linguistic backgrounds.
