Â November 10, 2006: Lingobit Technologies todayannounces Lingobit Localizer 4.8, a software localization tool that providesdevelopment teams with an effective solution to facilitate and streamline thesoftware localization process and communication between programmers, translators andtesters. Lingobit Localizer 4.8 delivers a host of new features and enhancements toreduce application localization costs, maximize IT productivity and ensure fastersoftware localization.

WhatÂ's New in Lingobit Localizer 4.8?Taking advantage of the expertise that has established LingobitÂ's award-winningLingobit Localizer as a widely adopted standard in software localization, LingobitLocalizer 4.8 extends its functionality with complementary workflow managementcapabilities that provide the following key benefits:

- Increased developer satisfaction through full support of .NET Framework version1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. In the light of increasing popularity of version 2.0 amongdevelopers, this support is especially important because it allows for easytransition to version 2.0 from any previous version of .NET Framework.

- More correct and reliable localization through enforcing automatic validation andfixing of common localization errors. Now Lingobit Localizer can check the spellingand recognize common translation errors.

- Reduced localization time and costs for updated software. One of the mainspecialties in Lingobit Localizer is its Scan for Changes technology, which isuseful when you intend to release an updated version of the product. Scan forChanges scans the update and detects new and modified elements, for which youÂ'reprompted to provide translations. For unchanged elements, Lingobit loads thetranslations from the previous version. In 4.8 the Scan for Changes feature has beenimproved. Among other operations, it can add removed translations to TranslationMemory for future reuse.

- Additional flexibility for translators in the localization process thanks to theoption to import and export a project to text format. This means strings can beedited using any external text editor. This ability is of great use for translators,who can localize the software using their favorite word-processing editor, such asMicrosoft Word.

Other enhancements in the release include automatic translation of duplicatedelements and new language simulations in Pseudo-Translate. Now Lingobit Localizerhas a strong Delphi support, improved grid usability and usability in Translatoredition, as well as enhanced Text/CSV engine.

WhatÂ's Lingobit Localizer?Lingobit Localizer 4.8 simplifies communication and workflow throughout the entirelocalization process by offering users a unified interface and productivity tools,such as Automated QA, Validation Expert, Translation Memory, etc. Localization canbe done in-house or delegated to another company.
