feedMore Languages at the ATM
When getting cash this week, I noticed that the ATM had learned two new
languages: Korean and Vietnamese. That’s in addition to the four it had
already mastered earlier – English, Spanish, traditional Chinese, and Hmong.
Wells Fargo is one of a growing number of American companies
that have realized that multilingual software isn’t just required for their
global success, but that it’s also good for business at home. Their press
release provides some background; the US Census Bureau report “Language
Use and English-Speaking Ability: 2000” has more.
