We're SO Sorry It's Not In Greek Too
We really mean it honestly. We would prefer our site to be in Greek as well as English, come to that we'd like it to be truly multi-lingual, because we know that the information and adverts it will contain will be as useful and appealing to Greeks and local island residents as it is to other foreigner homeowners in Greece who don't read English easily.
But the sad fact of the matter is that we are an English company with a small English management team who just can't speak let alone write in the Greek language to a standard anywhere near acceptable.
Added to the fact that the Greek language for us personally is an insurmountable barrier, our investigations into paying for development and translation of an ever-changing mirror site as well as the technical administration of supporting another language with duplicated data-entry forms, editing facilities, instructions and coding, plus meta-tagging of all the content to ensure good keywords, titles and descriptions that would appeal to search engines, and of course the on-going work of approving entries in a second language, proved to be such an expensive option, which we don't have the budget to cover that we took the decision to present the site in English only. And to go further, we opted for the universally used computer-programming version of the language making our decision not so much nationalistic but made mindful of the fact that technically websites are programmed and coded predominantly in English behind what is displayed.
We sincerely hope that the Greek users of our site understand our reasoning to opt for "a computer language" only and realise that in spite of it not being presented in Greek our site exists because of our appreciation, pleasure and wanting to share our enthusiasm for living in Greece and its beautiful islands.
