Hold on..so you wont be translating to Chinese? Where's the logic in that? Is China not the most populated country on the face of the earth right now? Seems a bit weird to ignore their language altogether. Unless I'm somehow missing something here?

@Tom
I have to agree with Nova... That is cutting out one heck of a lot of customers out of the loop in the country specific google searches, population numbers of a country do not lie... plus what about the resellers that advertise and market to china... I believe one offered his time to do the translation...
Kinda puzzled on this move..

Donerite, you have pretty much just nailed my point home! Not translating to Chinese is a bad idea, the biggest population on the planet! Someone even offered to do it for you so the devs don't have to! VERY BIG MISTAKE, RSP!

I doubt they will, since revealing that little fact about the lack of Chinese translation they've been remarkably silent on the issue.

*holds up a white flag*
RSP is based in the UK and USA, both countries have English as primary language. To support other languages would be a huge undertaking, and once you start down that path you cant back out easily.
The problem here, in my own opinion, is that if you have a reseller site in a particular language selling a service, the customer will then think its local and expect technical support in their local language as well. To offer support in other languages would just be too expensive. I do agree that the Chinese market is potentially huge. But to enter that market you need a good solid foundation and to offer support / billing in the local language/currency.
I also think thatwjleong hits on a very important note too. The fact is a LOT of abuse comes from China. This tends to point to laxed control by the authorities (who may even be supporting it) in those countries, meaning for a foreign company to do business there would be very difficult indeed.

LOL!!!! hehe on the white flag clivejo, cute
I understand what you are saying clivejo about providing the support in different languages... but isn't the control panel itself translated into Chinese as a advertising method to that section of the world? Whats the difference in translating the site itself then? I dont care what country you are located in, the scammers and spammers and hackers are there, they are everywhere.... thats why rsp already has a tight verification process in place when purchasing services.... So what do you do, leave legit customers in china out in the cold?
Personally, I hope that RSP reconsiders this decision but I'm not at war LMAO!!
PS, guess we need to add a white flag smilie to the smilie list hehe!!
As a personal note... when half the worlds population is located in one country then yep its gonna have a higher percentage of abuse than any other country... thats just logic and math... Other countries just do not have the population numbers to be a comparison there....Last edited by doneritehosting; 01-02-2015, 05:25 PM.

Yeah, I might have gotten a little carried away there, LOL! Still, I see your point about the reseller you mentioned yav. And that is awesome news about the new site builder. Can't wait to hear more about it down the road!
