Mira! McAfee SiteAdvisor Goes Global
Posted by Jonathan Cohen on August 9, 2006 05:37 PM
This week McAfee SiteAdvisor reached a new milestone to better support our many users around the globe. SiteAdvisor software downloaded from www.siteadvisor.com now includes multi-language support for an initial group of languages including Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch, German, Portuguese, and Japanese. Additional languages will be rolled out in the near future. The language used by SiteAdvisor’s software is based on the language your computer’s operating system is set to use.
No matter how you say 'wallpaper', be careful how you search.
SiteAdvisor users in Argentina and other Spanish speaking countries are now safer online.
SiteAdvisor’s Web site itself, including the reviewer area, has already been global for the last few weeks. Blog content and some of our press resources will remain in English, though, at least for now.
Like SiteAdvisor’s software, you’ll automatically see the SiteAdvisor Web site in your local language based on the settings in your computer’s operating system. (Again, keep in mind though that not all languages have been rolled out yet). But on the Web site, you can also manually set the language using the small drop down menu at the bottom right of each page of the site. We admit that it’s kind of fun to play around with this, actually.
“Web safety ratings” is one whopper of a 29 letter single word (Sicherheitsbewertungen) in German. Sort of adds figurative weight to what we’ve always believed is a very important issue.
We hope international users will benefit from our site reports which have also now been localized. One caveat though: we have not translated user comments into local languages; they will appear in only the language they were originally posted.

The user base of McAfee SiteAdvisor is growing in leaps and bounds around the world, and we’re very pleased to better support our international users with this first round of languages beyond English. Look for additional language support in the coming weeks and months.

May I post my voice in Japanese now ?
(Once I got mail of 19, June, 2006, you said,
'We are developing a Japanese-language portal and may support comments written in Japanese in the future. Please continue submitting user comment reviews in English.'

I think I was online while they were testing this. There was a short period of time (about 2 minutes) where site reports from clicking on the siteadvisor button in the browser appeared in German. This happened about 3 weeks ago. It went away about 2 minutes later. Weird.
Congrats on going global!

Siteadvisor troubleshooting is nonexistent! Getting error about certificate for DSS1 trying to connect to DSS2. Tried downloading virtual technician. This is a virtual download (not really happening).
