  Michael Martinez: I would publish whatever is available now.
  
  I don`t think cultivating backlinks is going to help much if you don`t have appropriate content for the Swedish market.
  
  But keep an eye on your costs. Prioritize the items where you`ll make the most profit so they underwrite the translation and promotion costs for the other products you want to show.

  Michael Martinez: Niclas Jönsson With 80, 000 products in the page inventory, there is no way they`ll all generate a lot of revenue.
  
  To translate the content into a language cost-effectively you need to monitor both cash flow (keep the money coming in) and operational profit (always have some money left over to invest in improving the site over time, including additional translation).
  
  If you`ve got a huge startup bank balance that can cover all the costs of translation, then get the job done as quickly and correctly as possible.
  
  I don`t think machine translation is reliable enough to turn it on and leave it alone. You`ll want someone qualified in source and destination languages to check the results.
