Globalyzer 4.8.5 Released – i18n in the developer workspace

/0 Comments/in , /by

November 16, 2015, Boulder, CO

Lingoport has released Globalyzer 4.8.5, which adds Globalyzer Lite to the Lingoport Suite. Globalyzer and the Lingoport Suite give developers and managers continuous proactive support for finding internationalization (i18n) and Localization (L10n) issues in source code as it is developed.

With software development practices emphasizing rapid feature releases, it is challenging to support software globalization requirements and activities in every sprint. The Lingoport Suite integrates with development practices so that both i18n and L10n are automated and managed into daily development, rather than waiting on iterative testing or manual localization tasks later in a sprint or release. This speeds up time to global releases, eliminates globalization backlogs and ultimately offers global customers new features faster and with no headaches for the development and localization teams.

New for this release is the lightweight, developer-friendly Globalyzer Lite client. It checks source code for i18n issues before it even hits the development repository. Developers can run it from within Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA or Visual Studio and other IDEs. It can also be scripted to run and report as an automated job during check-in.

The least expensive and fastest time to fix i18n issues is during the daily development workflow, and Globalyzer Lite makes that easy.

I18n quality is important, as global customer user experience is directly dependent upon the software behaving elegantly for every language and locale requirement.

“Globalyzer Lite was developed in partnership with some of our largest enterprise customers which are in turn some of the world’s most recognized technology brands. They wanted a simple deployment method to bring awareness and the ability to find and fix issues right to the developer’s daily workflow rather than getting caught in iterative localization testing and bug fixing,” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO.

About Lingoport…

Lingoport provides a software suite and professional services that enable globally focused companies to create and maintain software that works elegantly in every language and locale.

The Lingoport Suite includes Globalyzer Server, Workbench, Command Line and Lite, plus Lingoport Dashboard and Resource Manager. Working together, these products continuously monitor, fix and manage both internationalization and localization in each software sprint and release.

Lingoport Releases Resource Manager 2.0

/0 Comments/in , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Boulder, Colorado – May 12, 2015 – Lingoport has released Resource Manager 2.0 Release Notes. Resource Manager integrates software development source code repositories seamlessly and automatically with localization.  Companies can release globalized software, sites and applications faster while reducing development and localization costs.

Resource Manager 2.0 provides an automated connection with source control systems including Git and SVN, as well as others.  The latest sprint’s interface changes (strings) that will need translation are automatically retrieved, verified for quality issues and passed seamlessly to translation management systems or localization vendor portals. When the translations are performed, they are automatically audited and added back to source code for rapid QA staging and release. The process is monitored and visualized in Lingoport Dashboard so that all stakeholders can view progress, deadlines and productivity. Email notifications are automatically generated for each step. Resource Manager 2.0 also provides an integrated connection to Lingotek’s cloud-based translation management system, FTP repositories and rapid extensibility to other translation systems and translation portals.

As software development has moved to agile and continuous delivery models, it has become harder to keep up with the iterative nature of changes that need translation to serve global customers. Identifying changes and handling them is an error-prone process that causes delays and quality issues for global releases. The continuous automation and delivery of Resource Manager reduces the effort of manually handling iterative localization changes over multiple teams and sprints to near zero while also enabling releases to include updated and tested translations as part of any release cycle. No more translation backlogs and delays from tracking down changes in source code, verifying file quality, packaging them, sending them to translation, checking them as they come back and putting them back into the source code.

In discussing using Resource Manager 2.0, Rob Thomas of FamilySearch stated, “We were taking 4 to 5 weeks to get changes out of source control, back from translation and into our site. With Resource Manager, not only do we feel we’re at a higher quality, but we’ve reduced that turnaround to under 5 days.”

“The continuous and iterative pace of change we see in software today creates considerable overhead and distraction for localization updates. Resource Manager lets developers concentrate on building new features, which is their primary mission. Localization teams can get up-to-the-minute visual status on what will need translation and because they have direct control, can take full charge of delivery, quality and update speed,” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO.

Resource Manager can be licensed on its own or as part of the Lingoport Suite. Lingoport Suite bundles Globalyzer for continuous internationalization (i18n) analysis, Dashboard for metrics, status and managing, and Resource Manager to track, automate, manage and verify changes and updates to software that require translation for global markets. The Lingoport Suite enables continuous globalization, where software development is automatically monitored and managed so that it supports languages and locale formats for global customers.

Globalyzer 4.6 released featuring enhanced JavaScript internationalization (i18n)

/0 Comments/in /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Boulder, Colorado – December 8, 2014 – Lingoport has released Globalyzer 4.6, the flagship component of its Globalyzer Suite for developing and maintaining applications for internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) requirements. Key drivers for this release are to add more accuracy and assistance for finding and fixing internationalization issues in several popular development languages, with an emphasis on JavaScript, PHP and C#.

In our connected world it’s increasingly critical for technology-focused companies to support worldwide customers’ preferred languages and cultural formats such as dates, calendars, sorting, currency and more. These requirements are made complex by agile development practices that can force i18n and L10n into costly backlogs.

About Globalyzer 4.6, Gary Lefman, Internationalization Architect at Cisco confirmed, “This is a great set of improvements on the filtering side that will help to reduce the time it takes to weed out the false positives. The new string operand filters will be invaluable, and excellent work on the JavaScript rule set, too. I look forward to seeing 4.6 deployed at Cisco.”

“For this release, we focused on raising the bar for i18n static code analysis, particularly where we were seeing lots of difficulty. Some programming languages are more challenging to internationalize than others and we knew our customers needed more help.” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO.

Companies including Paypal, Intuit, Intel and Cisco use the Globalyzer Suite to monitor, manage and fix i18n issues that prevent or impede companies from releasing global-ready software. The Globalyzer Suite also monitors and manages changes to interfaces so that localization/translation can be efficiently updated and integrated into rapid development efforts common with agile methodologies.

Upcoming Webinar to Demonstrate how Agile Development & Localization Can Work Smoothly Together

/0 Comments/in /by

Smart technology and processes quell differences between Agile and localization methodologies

December 6, 2012 –Boulder, CO– Lingoport (www.lingoport.com), the leading resource for creating world-ready software and applications, announced today that it is holding a webinar, Path to Agile Localization, on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 to cover how current Agile and localization methodologies may be better coordinated.

Industry experts have pointed to inherent distress Agile development places on localization activities.

“Agile development practices are designed in such a way that disruptions and change are constant; historically, localization changes don’t fit within three-week sprints,” says Lingoport CEO Adam Asnes. He continues, “after many conversations with our clients and friends who can’t actively provide the same updates to global customers, we have found that embracing change and applying technology is the best course for localization teams to synergize with Agile.”

To share how localization can be more visible and effective within Agile, Lingoport will hold an hour-long webinar, Path to Agile Localization. Presenters include Richard Sikes, noted localization technology expert, Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO and Olivier Libouban, Globalization Architect and Product Manager at Lingoport. Attendees are encouraged to submit their experiences in advance of the webinar. View the recording here.

Lingoport Resource Manager Connects Development and Localization

/0 Comments/in /by

New technology automates translated file management and supports localization in fast moving development projects; optimizes manual and error prone resource file management

November 8, 2012 — Boulder, CO — Lingoport (www.lingoport.com), a software internationalization and localization products and services firm, announced its release of Lingoport Resource Manager (LRM) to automate managing and integrating changes to user interface messages and localization/translation processes.

Typical software localization projects require managing a large amount of resource files comprised of translated content from each target locale. This process requires a great deal of iterative updating and checking between development and localization, resulting in lost engineering time, file confusion and quality-control issues for localized releases.

Lingoport President Adam Asnes notes, “During our product research for LRM, we saw great demand for an automated resource manager solution yet no commercial product was available. Localization and engineering teams talked about the difficulty in keeping up with changes and even delaying global release versions because of the management and integration overhead.” He continues, “Our solution allows localization managers and project engineers to automatically view changes right at the build/source management level, prepare those files for localization and then reintegrate them back into the product build when translated, along with quality and error checking in every step. LRM particularly helps agile teams with complex applications in keeping up with development changes and translation processes. It makes globalized products easier to keep up to date for every market.”

Additionally, with an included dashboard-view reporting, LRM enables managers to view locale-by-locale completeness and drill down on resource file issues should they be incomplete. “The ability for managers to pinpoint file translation status and view a full status report is powerful,” adds Asnes. “By bridging workflows between development and localization, global companies are able to focus on prime product development tasks instead of getting lost in burdensome tasks that suck away man-hours.”
