How do you know what language a .EU website is translated into before visiting it?

I am very fortunate in that the dominant language worldwide for my trade is English, it has been that way for hundreds, yes I literally mean hundreds, of years.

Consider it this way, the main raw widget suppliers are Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, India, Italy, Russia, South Africa, USA with many supporting roles from Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Argentina etc...

Whilst we all try and learn one another's languages, English is dominant in our commercial widget field therefore it will not come as a very big surprise when visiting my .eu sites that the main pages are in English.

I do not mean that complacently, it's just a fact of business life for me and my trade...and, in fact I do speak seven languages which, in itself is maybe unusual, let alone for a Brit!

Without doubt our widget descriptions will all be completed in ALL known synonyms/language derivations.
