Welcome to Lingoport’s April 2009 WorldReady Newsletter

We’re late with Globalyzer 3.0! There, I said it. My current not-so-funny joke is that we’re still releasing the beta in March as promised, but it will be March 61st. The good news is we snuck a few extra little conveniences in, but we’re still going through rounds of bug fixing and testing. We’ve also had some pull from service projects forcing some short delays on our own product development. I remain extremely excited about 3.0 and how it can change internationalization, in analyzing, fixing and writing global-ready code, across development teams on an ongoing basis.

In this newsletter, we have an article on just that subject, supporting internationalization across the enterprise, as well as a brief summary from the first installment of the Worldware Conference.

We also had a very well attended internationalization webinar in March, with over 70 registrants. We’ll be putting together another webinar, for early in May. We’ll let you know once we have a date.

Best regards,

Adam Asnes

P.S. Interested in learning more about making sure code is internationalized properly before it’s localized? We have something for free that’s pretty powerful. Just contact me.

Feature Article

Enterprise Internationalization and Automation

Look inside AutomationThere are some technology companies where thinking globally has been fundamental to their operations for years and years. I’m referring to companies like IBM, HP, Yahoo, Google and the like. These companies all made significant investments in their global infrastructure, sales teams, products, development and strategic planning. It didn’t happen by accident. And as these companies develop new products or acquire companies, they look to leverage them across that global infrastructure quickly and profitably. Global companies are good prospects for my company in our internationalization products and services business, because they tend to be more experienced in their understanding of engineering challenges, knowing that it takes people, tools, time and money to globalize software so that they can gain the best return on their product distribution and sales infrastructure.

One very potent way to make software globalization fundamental to a company's mindset is to make internationalization a fully integrated and automated part of software development practices.

Conference Summary

Worldware Conference Summary – Not as good as being there

Were You There?In March I attended and presented at the first Worldware conference, which took place in Santa Clara, California in the heart of Silicon Valley. I became really excited about this conference as it proved to be the first to directly target business issues around software internationalization and globalization. Too often in other conferences, the focus is very low level on technical issues, while missing greater business planning and operational issues that affect every organization that looks to build and maintain world-ready products. In fact, that issue had been a long running annoyance for me when attending conferences like Unicode and LocalizationWorld. So I was eager to get involved in Worldware and sat on its board as well.
