Globalization of ni.com Home Page Improves User Experience Worldwide
PrintThe ni.com home page has undergone significant improvements to provide visitors with a better online experience. To more efficiently serve the NI worldwide audience, the page is now available in nine languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, as well as simplified and traditional Chinese. These updates provide global visitors access to timely information in the language of their choice throughout the course of their visit.
NI customers now can access information on ni.com in one of nine global languages for a consistent, customizable experience.
Globalization
Along with the home page offered in nine languages, localized content is available for each of the more than 40 countries in which NI does business. Now, relevant content including information on product support and services pages, model pages, as well as tools such as the Product Advisor and local pricing information is accessible in many languages. Each branch office maintains country-specific landing pages that provide information on local events, news, National Instruments Alliance Partner updates, and other subject matter relevant to that region. The new globalized home page also makes it much easier for ni.com visitors to find their local home page.
Easy Access to Information
In addition to globalization, the home page has been modified to a wider format, with easy-to-use tabs for quick navigation to relevant content. Three tabs bundle valuable information related to products and solutions, services and training, and support and community. The tabs contain useful links to resources, such as multimedia tutorials; product catalog pages; information on training classes, seminars, and events; as well as links to case studies and downloads. To help elevate the most recent information, the menu on the right-hand side of the page supplies links to the latest videos, news, software downloads, and community information.
The new format also displays a featured video section where visitors can watch how NI customers use graphical system design, see the latest demos, and learn how NI software and hardware can address challenges in application areas ranging from green engineering to industrial control.
