max and all, Borland Ships New Translation Tools for Delphi Delphi 3 Language Pack & Delphi Translation Suite 3.0 Ease Development of Localized Applications SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Borland International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BORL - news) today announced new versions of two tools for translating Delphi applications into international languages -- the Delphi 3 Language Pack and the Delphi Translation Suite 3.0. These tools provide an integrated and powerful way to localize Delphi applications into Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. ''With the new Language Pack and Translation Suite, Delphi developers have an easy and productive way to localize their applications -- leveraging the same technology that Borland uses to translate its own products for international markets,'' said Zack Urlocker, Borland's vice president of Marketing. ''With the explosive growth of the Internet and prevalence of global IT organizations, tools such as these can help software vendors and corporations distribute multi-language applications in a cost-effective and secure manner.'' Delphi 3 Language Pack The Delphi 3 Language Pack includes already-translated system messages for Delphi's Visual Component Libraries (VCLs) and the Borland Database Engine (BDE), as well as translated message templates for Delphi forms, dialogs, and menus. It also includes the Delphi Language Manager that allows developers to safely and easily switch between languages. The Delphi Language Pack gives developers a quick and easy head-start in creating fully localized applications. Delphi Translation Suite 3.0 The Delphi Translation Suite 3.0 is a complete localization solution for corporate developers, ISVs, VARs, and system integrators who need to deliver larger-scale applications internationally with a more thorough translation than the Delphi Language Pack can provide. The suite can help translate new or existing applications, and includes all the functionality of the Delphi Language Pack -- plus a comprehensive suite of powerful development tools to automate and test the translation process, all from a single code base. Developers using the Delphi Translation Suite will receive many time, cost, quality and safety advantages from the product's table-based design. Any new application enhancements or bug-fixes also apply immediately to all translated versions. The developer's translation staff does not need to be highly technical to do the localization, and they cannot access or modify the application's source code -- thus ensuring greater security. The suite's GUI conversion features allow the translator to preview how the translation will appear, avoiding message truncation problems and pick letter duplicates. Most importantly, all of Delphi Translation Suite's work is designed to be re-usable: As new versions of applications are created, only the new or changed items need to be translated -- greatly reducing localization time and costs for the developer. Pricing and Availability The Delphi 3 Language Pack and Delphi Translation Suite 3.0 are available now from Borland. The estimated retail price of Delphi 3 Language Pack is $199.95, and the estimated retail price for the Delphi Translation Suite 3.0 is $2,499.95.
