Nextweb says: despite the fact that the Internet was based on the English language, technology development and growing prosperity and influence of China has gradually led to the fact that the dominant language of the web is becoming Chinese.
The number of users on the Internet is nearly 2 billion people, with 42% of them speaks English. Another 32.6% of users to communicate in Chinese. Nextweb believes that the growing Chinese market means the future dominance of users who speak Chinese, English-language over.
It seems that the Chinese are going to benefit from this fact. Recently, the Chinese government issued a decree requiring the translation into Chinese of all English words and phrases in newspapers, magazines and websites. Directorate General of Press and Mass Media Publications China last week reported that a mixture of foreign words in Chinese in Chinese publications is prohibited without an accompanying translation. Prohibition
very wide and covers almost all: people’s names, names of various places, acronyms, abbreviations and common phrases. All these English words in recent years, China has spread.
Chinese officials want to make to protect their language are culturally from the influence of foreign (mainly English) words. However, this step creates one more barrier between China and the world. Chinese is not one of those that are easy to learn, and this means that a significant portion of the web site will be unavailable for those who do not know Chinese. However, help can always come to Google Translate.
