Objective The Country Community Network was a web portal providing both a back-up network and a gateway for rural business to access the global market. As a network it aimed to unite rural communities throughout Europe and encourage the sharing of knowledge and experience while the gateway should open up new international markets for small rural businesses and tourism service providers. Applying and adapting existing automated translation software technology, the system aimed to provide a mass-market solution to localised and individual problems.The Country Community Network system integrated information retrieval and transfer with real-time system management through a network of rural economy related services: accommodation, culture, leisure, commerce and business. Information was uploaded by users in their own language and incorporated into the system ensuring immediate updating of news and availability. It was then presented to the site visitor and potential customer in his or her own alternative language (local input-global output).
