Multilanguage.xyz – Dynadot customer (Argentina)

With adoption in 230 countries, .xyz is the platform for businesses and individuals to connect with their global audience on an international domain. But what if your audience doesn’t speak the same language as you do? Well, there’s a [Weebly] app for that now – and in this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, Martín Massera tells us how your message can be heard in any language with Multilanguage.xyz.

Multilanguage is a Weebly app that lets your visitors easily change the language of your website to the one that best suits them. Their intuitive design allows for visitors to easily switch languages at the click of a button, while maintaining your website’s visual appeal. Multilanguage also works on mobile to ensure a great experience no matter what device your visitors connect from.

We reached out to Martín Massera, creator of the app, to learn more about Multilanguage.xyz:

XYZ: What was your inspiration to start Multilanguage?

Martín Massera: It actually started because a friend wanted to have many languages in his Weebly site. I love Weebly because it lets you add your own code and edit the HTML and CSS of your site, so I decided to create a simple javascript code that would selectively show pages according to which language the user wanted to see. I then posted it on a blog just so that other people could benefit from it, and the response was amazing…

How do you see your app?

I always saw the app as two things: covering a real need for users, and also as a channel of self expression. I expressed my values in the app, being as open, giving and carefree (not careless!) as I could. I deliberately let users extend their trial period as much as they need, and I give free accounts to all who need.

Tell us about the reason you choose a .xyz for your domain?

It has this thing about the alphabet, language, that goes well with the Multilanguage theme. It also sounds fresh, new. It’s not “techy”… I considered .io but I didn’t want Multilanguage to be a “tech startup,” I wanted to reach individuals and small businesses, just like Weebly.

What are your goals for Multilanguage and can you share with us any exciting new features to look forward to (i.e. languages, services, etc.)

I’d love one of two things to happen: that we become the top reference for Multilanguage in Weebly, or that Weebly adopts Multilanguage into the platform itself. I just teamed up with a person in France to take the app to the next level. We are going to be working on usability, improving the user experience a lot, and also we are thinking about inline translations, as well as to offer automatic and manual translation services.

The ability to communicate is crucial to building strong communities. Multilanguage.xyz connects you with people all over the world, regardless of what country your website comes from. Bringing people together by eliminating language barriers? Sounds like Martín is speaking our language!

DoverStreet.xyz – 123 Reg customer (United Kingdom)

As summer blockbusters start to leave the silver screen, it’s time to turn our attention to the smaller stories that fill our everyday lives. #WebsiteWednesday is dedicated to hunting down those hard-to-find .xyz stories and sharing them with the world. From an adaptation of a book by an obscure author, to a new take on the British period drama, this week’s #WebsiteWednesday makes sure to tell the stories that really need to be told – we can’t wait to introduce you to the storytellers: DoverStreet.xyz.

Formerly DoverStreetEntertainment.com, the UK-based film and television production company now redirects their old domain to the shorter and more memorable DoverStreet.xyz. Started as a vision on opposite shores of the Atlantic by Graeme A. Scott and Kathy A. LoPrimo, Dover Street pairs numerous Academy and Emmy Award winning directors, producers, and cinematographers from around the world with smaller stories that would otherwise go unnoticed. This has resulted in unforgettable and powerful works that have appeared on the BBC, Channel 4, Showtime, PBS, and HBO.

We are always amazed by the incredible stories created by our end users around the world, and if Dover Street’s 2016 slate is any indication, they have quite a few tales in store for us. One of their current projects, The Last Hope, is directed by Academy Award winner Karen Goodman. The international cast and crew travels to different locations around the world to chronicle the journey of a little-known Italian NGO called Emergency, which provides free medical aid to people impacted by war.

With a mission of telling the stories that need to be told to the widest audience possible, Dover Street made the right choice by switching to a .xyz domain that is not only recognized on both sides of the pond, but also around the globe. DoverStreet.xyz sheds light on incredible tales and is an inspiration for all of #GenXYZ. Grab your .xyz domain to start sharing your own untold stories today.
