Ask HN: Review my new single service website

One thing I'm finding that I didn't plan for is that I'm getting a lot of visitors from outside the US. Any advice on internationalizing the site?

You don't seem to have a lot of content actually on the site. My suggestion would be to build a phrase table for country names, and set a cookie after the user has entered their home country for use later on.

Just put up a some simple text: "If you'd like to help translate this site into your language, please feel free to drop me a line at [email]. Thank you!"

I like it! Crowdsource it. I'd probably want to have at least two people do it independently per country to make sure they aren't saying naughty things.

You can also check their translation by putting it back into English with an automated translator. (Google has one for example.)
