Hallo and 今日は from Fonts.com
Fonts.com serves a global audience. As such, we feel it's important that our website 'speaks' more than just English. Today, you may have noticed the addition of two new languages to Fonts.com: German and Japanese. Both are among the most commonly spoken languages of our customer base and represent two of our fastest growing customer segments.
A look at the Fonts.com homepage in German
The next time you visit Fonts.com, if the language preference of your browser is set to German or Japanese, you will automatically be redirected to the German or Japanese version of the site. You can also use the language dropdown menu in the site's upper right hand navigation to manually switch between languages. While the entire site has not yet been translated, just about everything you need to browse fonts, purchase fonts or use our Fonts.com Web Fonts service is available in both German and Japanese. This includes the Fonts.com home page, the typeface family and product pages, the browse fonts pages, the Web fonts homepage, the Manage Web fonts page and the shopping cart. Content that has not yet been translated remains available in English, even when surfing in other languages.

Over the coming weeks, we'll continue to roll out many of the content pages in German and Japanese. If you're wondering if additional languages will be added down the road, well, we're considering that, too. For now, we invite our German and Japanese speaking friends to explore Fonts.com in their native language. We hope you enjoy this enhancement. But if you notice something doesn't look quite right, please let us know.
