This always brings up the question, does translation mean localization? Will local users consider Flickr, Google, Yahoo or others as local services if just the user interface changes?
We run two photo sites here in our tiny Estonia. People always ask why are Estonian photo sites needed if there are sites like Flickr already out there? The answer is localization. For photo sites this means things like integration with Estonian print providers, mobile networks and other websites. But it also means being with local people in local community - many do not want to interact with foreign people from other countries. You want to feel at home.

Estonian market is small, around 750 thousand Internet users out of a population of 1.3 million. Then again in one year users have uploaded to our sites over 4,5 million photos - around 1% of Flickr ;)
