Lack of knowledge in Chinese language must be burning in your stomach so much. Language as well as the script are planned to be learnt by you since a long time. If you had then you would not have faced the problem you are facing now. Your attempts from a long time to search in the net for latest drivers for a particular hardware has been met with little success. Your friend has suggested you to go for a new hardware which would help you to complete your task better and also proves economical. After spending some time for the same on auction sites and not finding it, you decided to use the search engine and are immediately provided with a number of results.
The sad tale of you has thus started. The number of sites in which you found that particular hardware was in fact written in Chinese language and due to lack of knowledge in it you did not know what to do. You can see the prices in American Dollars and they are reasonable but what about information of the product and there is the form you have to fill up in order to process your order. The contents of the online form is just difficult to understand. Your credit card details are then to be submitted in the designated place. Thanks to ‘visa’ and other credit card logos, you could make out this.
Every time you click on the ‘submit’ button, you see that the form is being refreshed, after you fill out the form in the usual procedure (name, address, quantity, card number etc.) with some rough guesses. This is the problem and you now get bugged after doing again the procedure one or two times. Your repeated attempts are because of urgency you have about that hardware. If you possessed the knowledge of Chinese language and translation, you would have known that you are clicking in place of ‘submit’ button the ‘form reset’ button. Normally the ‘submit’ button is found on the left side and the ‘form reset’ button on the right.
It is due to the mistake committed by the person who designed the web site as he must have used the English language program to design the web page in the layout of the buttons. He or she can be excused because of the fact that only those who know the Chinese language alone will know the difference between the buttons. The bottom line is that you have missed out on a golden opportunity that could have changed the way you work. You have nobody else to blame for this quandary you are in today. You could have got the hardware your business so desperately needed, if only you had tried to learn translation of the Chinese language to fill up the online form. The time is ripe for you to start thinking very seriously.
