Lingoport’s Globalyzer 2.4 Release

We’re pleased to announce that Globalyzer 2.4 is now released.

Major new features:

Improved HTML string detection

Expanded support for Pseudo-Localization

Some little U/I improvements

What this means for you:

Believe it or not, HTML is one of the hardest languages to parse for internationalization issues. It’s not structured in the same way as programming languages such as C++, Java and C# and therefore a different approach to parsing it is required. We found that no matter how we tweaked our old HTML internationalization engine, we were still missing some strings. We ended up adapting an entirely new approach to parsing HTML and are happy to report both higher accuracy (finding all the strings, plus less false positives) and much faster performance. It’s a big win for all of us, with higher project accuracy, faster scanning, and less clean up needed in testing.

You can take advantage of the HTML improvements for projects using JSPs, ASPs, ASPX or any HTML code. You still have to separately scan for embedded Java, VB, C++ and C# as internationalization logic for these programming languages is completely different than the HTML portions.

PseudoJudo Improvements

PseudoJudo’s pseudo-localization capabilities, added for our 2.2 release, have been extremely popular for our clients. PseudoJudo let’s you pad resource files with characters from your target locale, while expanding strings as well. It lets you test for internationalization without waiting for translation, also allowing your testers not to need to speak the target language. For more information, on how PseudoJudo works, please go here: http://www.globalyzer.com/gi/whatsnew.html#pseudojudo

PseudoJudo started as an internal tool we were using on internationalization service projects, and it was natural to make it part of Globalyzer. The improvements in Globalyzer 2.4 allow you to point PseudoJudo at whole directories of files, rather than one file at a time. Within the Globalyzer client, select the tools menu to get started.

What our services teams are up to:

We’ve had a busy year for internationalization development services.

Here are some highlights of the larger development projects we’ve been working on:

• Internationalization for a network security server appliance
• Internationalization for two financial software products
• Internationalization of a medical imaging system
• Internationalization of an auction site focusing on heavy mining and construction equipment

All of these service customers had these mutual elements in common: the need to expand support for multiple locales, yet limits on budgets, time and resources.

Lingoport fills in the gaps, applying our Globalyzer software productivity, and engineering expertise. That, in turn, lets you focus on new features and other product development efforts, while meeting customer and revenue objectives for worldwide sales efforts.

We work as an extension of your development team, smoothly blending years of experience in a wide variety of programming languages and databases.
We offer straightforward source code management strategies.

Let us know if you need any help with a difficult deadline, or internationalization challenge.
