Box.net Localizes Into France

Online file storage service Box.net has announced the launch of a localized version in France. The French version follows the following other localized versions: Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, German, Italian, Portuguese, Danish and Russian.

Box.net points to heavy usage by the France Trade Office in San Francisco sending files back to team members in France and that the new localized language version making communications easier.

What’s unknown is whether they used free crowdsourced labor to translate the application or had the service professionally translated. I can’t imagine there is a lot of content to translate anyway. I am confused as to why they don’t push the localized versions on the Box homepage?

Box.net also notes that they have partnered with Dell to serve online file storage on the Dell Mini.

In other online file storage news, it looks like Omnidrive has finally closed up shop. The domain currently points to a credit sales service.
