BOULDER, CO – September 1, 2010 – acrolinx GmbH, the world’s leading provider of Information Quality Management software, and Lingoport, a leading provider of software internationalization tools and software localization and internationalization consulting services, announced today that the two companies will present a live Webinar, Wednesday, September 22^nd, 2010, titled “Writing and Documenting Software for the World with Agile Demands.”

Entering new global markets can be highly rewarding, yet companies are often faced with cutting costs and rapidly deploying high quality products. In order to succeed in today’s challenging business environment, global companies need to embrace more efficient content authoring processes and often look for tools to assist in this process.

Adam Asnes, Lingoport President and CEO, notes, “Software companies frequently realize more than 50% of their sales revenue from markets outside of their home market. Yet the process of engineering and localizing software releases often remains a ‘tail end’ process, with all kinds of clean up, delays and costs.” He continues: “When combined with an agile cycle of rapid releases, companies often face the challenge of keeping code internationalized and well documented.”

Tony Ehrens, VP of Solutions at acrolinx, adds, “By streamlining content development at the beginning of the production lifecycle agile companies can release product documentation in multiple languages for less cost.”

As part of this Webinar, software authoring, internationalization, and globalization experts Kent Taylor of acrolinx, Adam Asnes of Lingoport, and Mike McKenna of Yahoo! will share their views and discuss a variety of best practices, including:

• Decreasing production time for documentation with reuse
• Decreasing translation costs by decreasing the amount of documentation
• Integrating internationalization into the software and content development cycle

BOULDER, CO – August 4, 2009 – Lingoport, a leading provider of software internationalization and localization consulting services, announced the release of Globalyzer 3.0, their internationalization tool which monitors and enables software development at the source code level so that it’s adapted to gracefully support any language or locale sensitive format.

In today’s global market, many software development and technology firms generate 50% or more of their revenues outside their home marketplace. In order to avoid costly and time consuming post-release nightmares, multilingual software applications need to support the target language and cultural format issues such as dates, times, currencies, Unicode character encoding, and more. Internationalizing a software application during the early development stages ensures faster time-to-market, higher quality, and simpler subsequent localization, consequently increasing return-on-investment.

Globalyzer 3.0 measures, reports, and fixes internationalization bugs over a product’s lifecycle, across development teams and entire enterprises. Lingoport’s internationalization tool supports a wide variety of programming languages and database scripts. Globalyzer consists of a server which is used to manage customized internationalization rules and desktop and command-line clients. The desktop client visually steps developers through issues, and command-line client allows for automated code scanning and the generation of internationalization status reports. Additional features of Globalyzer 3.0 include database enabling for tracking internationalization status over time, enhanced reporting, integration with ANT, large improvements in scanning speed, the ability to scan extremely large code bases over multiple programming languages and database scripts, and much more.

In this harsh business environment, software development organizations rely more than ever on enterprise tools to help them measure and manage issues such as coding quality, memory usage and security. “Globalyzer prevents expensive surprises,” comments Adam Asnes, founder and CEO of Lingoport. He adds, “We have seen companies suffer tremendous impacts in lost revenue and ballooning costs when their global software release was delayed due to unexpected internationalization and localization issues. Globalyzer 3.0 was beta-tested by several leading software development companies and received glowing feedback.”

BOULDER, Colorado,January 09, 2008 — Lingoport, the leading provider of software internationalization tools and services, announced the release of Globalyzer Diagnostics, a revolutionary new means of assessing source code readiness for global markets. For the first time, Globalyzer Diagnostics enables software professionals to quantify the scope of their code’s internationalization (“i18n”) challenges – with minimal time and effort. And the price is right as well – free for unlimited use.

The First International “Health Check” for Source Code

Globalyzer Diagnostics provides an easily understood “health check” of source code across several critical problem areas that often impede localization success. It’s the first solution that bridges the gap technology firms encounter when they undertake global expansion without clear understanding of the arcane language, character set support, formatting and cultural problems present in their existing application code. Without this knowledge, localization projects can bog down, threatening time-to-market goals and, ultimately, revenue objectives”Lingoport is absolutely heading in the right direction with Globalyzer Diagnostics,” remarked (someone) from (client), a long-time Lingoport customer. “Until now, there’s been no practical way to quantify the range of issues that exist in virtually all source code before localization. The alternative – painstaking line-by-line analysis – is simply too costly and time-consuming at an early stage in the process. Globalyzer Diagnostics is a useful tool for starting to understand the scope of i18n challenges, without heavy investment of time and resources.”

“Globalyzer Diagnostics is the product of Lingoport’s long experience in assessing the code issues that impede international goals,” commented Adam Asnes, founder and CEO of Lingoport. “We’re seeing a growing interest in shining a brighter light on the i18n problem, as competitive pressures make timely, efficient application localization critical to technology leaders.  It only makes sense to hand initial assessment capabilities to corporations and localization companies in the form of Globalyzer Diagnostics.”

A New Light on the i18n Market Need

A study recently released by Lingoport suggests a critical knowledge and capacity gap among technology firms and their service providers with respect to the i18n situation. This insight helped raise the urgency to release Globalyzer Diagnostics to a marketplace that’s only beginning to understand the scope and impact of the i18n issue.
