LinguaNext and TranslateMedia Partner for Best-of-Breed software localization

San Jose, CA, USA and London, UK – Sep 30, 2011 – LinguaNext Inc., the global leader in product-driven software localization solutions today partnered with TranslateMedia, a leading global translation agency providing professional language services, to bring world-class translations from TranslateMedia to customers using LinguaNext SPeeD™ Suite and other products.

The partnership enables global companies –especially from the financial industry- to localize their Global Information System quicker and cheaper with the highest quality output available in the translation industry. The LinguaNext SPeeD™ Suite "captures" every screen from an application. It then pushes the captured text and its corresponding frame into a database and into TranslateMedia’s translation workflow. The localized text is then incorporated back into LinguaNext SPeeD™ Suite and made available for all the client applications in multiple languages simultaneously. This non-intrusive solution will rapidly convert any current and future applications into multiple languages for internal and external users.

The partnership enables banks, insurance companies and any global company in general to drastically reduce their spend on multilingual applications, and enables reuse of this reduced investment across all applications. Solutions exist for all types of applications, right from legacy “green-screen” applications to desktop-based rich UI enterprise apps to web-facing apps.

LinguaNext’s www.linguanext.net flagship product – the LinguaNext™ SPeeD™ Suite – enables any software to be available in any language required. With the LinguaNext™ SPeeD™ Suite, enterprises get a significantly faster time to market with local-language-enabled applications powering faster geographical expansion, cheaper hiring with local-language skills and dramatically reduced training costs. LinguaNext has a mature, extensively deployed product with marquee customers worldwide from the Forbes Global 2000 list.

“Translating software poses a unique set of challenges. While the LinguaNext SPeeD™ Suite virtually eliminates the technological challenge, ensuring quality translations for all text in the target software remains a highly skilled task.” said Atul Tulshibagwale, CEO of LinguaNext “TranslateMedia is one of the best in the industry and provides premium translations for very high value services. We are proud to bring these same quality translations to our customers.”

"Software localization has been simplified over the past decade, but it is still an area prone to many hidden costs and time-consuming control and implementation procedures. We have appreciated the remarkable simplicity and elegance of LinguaNext's approach. Using LinguaNext, it is virtually impossible to forget to localize part of an application. Changes in the master application are automatically replicated in their local versions. It is a big step forward for the localization industry." says Patrick Eve, CEO of TranslateMedia "we are proud to integrate our web-based translations workflow within LinguaNext servers, so every global company can benefit from the best practices in our respective industries."
