XING just entered the official premiere league of Web localization – and best of all, we’re the only social networking site to make the grade.
A January Netcraft survey estimated 155,583,825 Websites on the Net last month, so we’re pretty proud to make it to the global TOP 20 Websites! Here’s the definitive list of localization experts (you might recognize some of the other names):
We’re glad to be recognized for being ahead of the game. Whilst the likes of Facebook and MySpace are now starting to think pretty late in the day on a multilingual level, XING recognized the importance of high-quality localization way back at its founding in 2003, and has produced 100% of its content in no less than 16 different languages ever since.
This impressive feat involves a massive on-going operation and constant quality assurance. So a great big thanks must go to everyone involved in the localization process – from programmers and engineers to the production team, our localization company Beluga Linguistics, and last but not least the translators and proofreaders themselves. Well done!

Hello Xing!
I have found you by accident and was excited about your social network and the global reach you have. I am pleased to be a new member of Xing from the U.S. but working for a Spanish based company.
I subscribed Xing in 2004, when it’s name was OpenBC. I really appreciate that Xing speaks my motherlanguage (italian) when other social networking sites don’t.
