BOULDER, CO – January 7, 2010 – Lingoport, a leading provider of software internationalization tools for software localization and internationalization consulting services, announced today the release of Globalyzer 3.2.

Lingoport’s software internationalization tool assists entire enterprises in preparing software development for world-market opportunities. Key-features include static analysis of source code for the measurement, reporting, and fixing of software internationalization bugs over a product’s lifecycle, across broad development teams and entire enterprises. Globalyzer supports a wide variety of programming languages and database scripts.

The key highlights of the 3.2 release include:

• Dictionary-based filtering: Compares strings found to dictionary entries, which helps further filter programmatic strings that should not be translated. This is particularly effective in isolating embedded strings for localization, while reducing the effort of user-based filter controls to avoid false positive reporting.
• Reporting Enhancement: With all the ways that one can fine tune Globalyzer detection and filtering, we expanded Globalyzer reports to include information on filtering and detection choices associated with individual results. This helps developers track and adapt which filters and detection algorithms and customizations are producing specific results during internationalization source code scans.

Adam Asnes, founder and CEO of Lingoport, notes, “We are particularly excited about dictionary filtering because it provides a very creative and effective way to get Globalyzer users strong detection results while minimizing project customization.” He adds, “This feature is particularly effective for programming languages like C and C++, but also applies well to .NET and Java.”

####

1.) Database enabling of Globalyzer reporting – Globalyzer 3.0 comes with its own database, or the option to connect to your current database. You can compare Globalyzer results over time, track individual internationalization issues from scan to scan and share scan results and fixes with your fellow developers.

2.) Command-Line integration with ANT and automated processes – Command Line, though less exciting to look at, offers tremendous power in supporting entire teams of developers in monitoring and measuring internationalization. With Command Line, Globalyzer can now become the benchmark for localization readiness. We’ve included a wizard to help teams get Globalyzer up and included in automated processes, like a nightly build.

3.) Easy sharing of scan results for fixing i18n issues – Scan results can be quickly and easily loaded into Globalyzer’s GIDE desktop interface so that teams of developers can step through and fix internationalization issues efficiently.

4.) Scan extremely large volumes of code in one pass – In previous versions of Globalyzer, when you wanted to scan large applications, you needed to break up the source. Now you can point Globalyzer at literally millions of lines of code at a time.

5.) Batch scanning across multiple programming languages – Internationalization issues are quite different among programming languages, requiring Globalyzer to use different engines to get the best results. We’ve now allowed you to combine scanning engines to batch process code bases with multiple programming languages. For example, for JSP’s you can combine HTML scanning with Java scanning in one effort.

6.) Keeping track of issues you want to ignore – Besides Globalyzer’s great filtering capabilities for isolating complex internationalization issues, Globalyzer now tracks your code line by line, so that you can elect to ignore, or even emphasize issues, and track and revisit them without Globalyzer needing to insert its own comments in your code. Keeps things clean.

7.) Faster performance – Though how fast Globalyzer scans source depends a lot on the code you are scanning, Globalyzer is running on well over a million lines of code in about the time it takes you to go get a cup of coffee.

8.) New Look on the Interface – we rewrote much of Globalyzer’s U/I, giving it an updated look. The biggest reason we’ve done this is to prepare for good stuff we are planning for the soon to follow 3.1 version, but for now, we think you’ll like it.

9.) Bug Fixes – we’ve cleaned up issues to keep you on your way finding and fixing embedded strings, locale-limiting methods, functions and classes and programming patterns.

10.) More Programming Language Support – Globalyzer already supports a wide variety of programming languages, and we’re formalizing support for a few more.

11.)Tighter Integration between Globalyzer’s GIDE client and server accounts on Globalyzer.com, so you can quickly change your rulesets which control Globalyzer’s behavior and share changes with your colleagues.
