Google Translates for www.noradsanta.org to Show Santa's Trek

Tracking St. Nick isn't easy.That's why a thousand volunteers answer nearly 95,000 phone calls and thousands of emails sent to www.noradsanta.org.

Since 1955, the national defense system in Colorado Springs has devoted its radar tracking capabilities to following Santa's sleigh around the globe. Booz Allen Hamilton designed the site that Google translates the Web site into Spanish, France, German, Japanese, Italian, and, for the first time, Chinese. 

Globelink Foreign Language Center provides audio translations,while Verizon donates the toll-free phone number 1 (877) HI NORAD (1 877 446-6723). In addition, Canada Post this year will provide responses to e-mails to Santa at noradtracksanta@gmail.com.

According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, most of the site vistors come from the United States, United Kingdom and Canada,but Chinese visitors spend the most time per visit. (Looks like China Mobile Limited may have to get involved with this effort next year.)
After you wind down your Christmas Eve with a reading of the "Night before Christmas", take your kids to noradsanta.org and start a new Christmas tradition.

I can see this being the new way parents and kids spread tradition through families. Eventually it will most likely be all online.
