Headline: Accent's Loc@le Provides Low Cost, Rapid Development for Localization
of Software Applications
======================================================================
Dramatically Reduces Cost for Development, Support, Maintenance and Upgrades
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Accent Software
International (NASDAQ:ACNTF and ACNUF) today announced Loc@le(TM) 1.7, an
integrated suite of management and administration tools enabling the rapid
localization of software.
Loc@le was demonstrated at the recent 1998 LISA (Localization Industry
Standards Association) Conference, where it received a tremendously positive
response. According to Bob Antoniazzi, Accent's vice president of marketing,
"The demand for international software products is driving the need for
software publishers to develop their applications in multiple languages and
character sets. Loc@le offers pre-installed glossaries, point-and-translate
dictionaries, and immediate access to human translators. This innovative set
of tools establishes a new standard for not just translating the user
interface of software, but cost effective management of the entire process,"
added Antoniazzi.
De-skills, Automates, And Provides Re-usability of Previously Developed
Code
With Loc@le, companies no longer require the most highly skilled engineer
to perform the localization of software applications; Loc@le de-skills,
automates, and provides re-usability of previously developed code so that an
organization can best use the resources they need -- and where they need them.
Moreover, Loc@le provides the ideal entry point for companies needing to
address the need for software localization. Accent's higher end product, the
GDK (Global Development Kit) is a complete solution for producing single
source, single binary, executable, multilingual applications for MS-Windows
and NT.
Loc@le is easy to learn; leverages existing translations; handles parallel
development and translation processes; includes French, German, Italian, and
Spanish glossaries; provides 16 bit and 32 bit support; and Windows C/C++
development environment. Consulting and translation services are also
available from Accent.
With a suggested retail price of $595.00, software developers can now
easily afford to market their software around the world. Loc@le is now
available from the Programmer's Paradise Web site: pparadise.com,
or available directly from Accent Software by calling 800-694-4050.
System Requirements
Loc@le 1.7, requires a 486 processor or above, Windows 95/NT, 16 MB of
RAM, and 24 MB of hard disk space.
