OCTOBER 19, 2004 St. Louis, Missouri …To
better serve people in St. Louis that want to
reach targeted international audiences with useful
information, select content on the popular website
www.STLCalendar.com now can be accessed in French,
Spanish and German in addition to English by audiences
worldwide.
CommunityCalendars.net, LLC, which manages www.STLCalendar.com,
and AAA Translation, which provides translation
services from Arabic to Zulu, have created multi-lingual
versions of the website “tour” and
its advertising to enhance access for global visitors
to the free site, which averages more than one
million “hits” monthly.
“No other community website showcases information
on St. Louis regional activities so comprehensively,
nor attracts a greater number of online visits
from overseas audiences than www.STLCalendar.com,”
says Julie Eckstein, president of CommunityCalendars.net.
“Creating multi-lingual versions of the
website tour and advertising to showcase information
in a more targeted, user-friendly way makes sense
for everyone involved.”

Homes, the St. Louis Zoo and many others.
Susanne Evens, president of AAA Translation, says,
“Foreign business owners, exchange students,
overseas civic groups and tourists coming to St.
Louis are among the audiences who visit www.STLCalendar.com
every day, in addition to audiences locally and
across the United States.
“We have made this website truly international
by providing four different ‘one click’
language options on parts of www.STLCalendar.com.
It is a strategic communications tool for St.
Louis organizations and advertisers that want
to showcase messages to specific international
audiences,” Evens adds.
Eckstein founded CommunityCalendars.net and www.STLCalendar.com
in 2000. She has been a board member for The United
