Roanoke Firefighters Spans the World

Roanoke Firefighters Blog is now being offered translated for you all into 8 languages. Taking a queue from the LAFD Blog I have incorporated links to pre-translated pages offered by Google. The links are just under the Banner at the top of the site. This might be a perfect way for all of the Spanish studying firefighters in Roanoke to keep up on their second language. Of course I have also offered German, Italian, French, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

You might ask why I would even think the Roanoke Firefighters blog needs this offering. Sure the LAFD Blog has a population which might require the translation. The truth is, while I do not know of anyone locally who has requested the translation, the page gets a lot of traffic from other Countries. Most of whom end up on the site due to searches and might be able to read English very well. But you never know. The fact is that this could be a small step toward International publicity. The blog has already been linked on other Blogs throughout the World.

If you want to see the scope of traffic by location across the World check out the Roanoke Firefighters Cluster Map. The map is wiped clean each month and tracks the hits for the month by location.
On the right you can see where the hits came from between January - March.
On the Left you can see where the hits came from between March -April. For the current map, which is bigger, check out the Roanoke Firefighters Cluster Map. The map is always in the right hand sidebar of the site.
