Localize Your Software and increase Your Revenues!
When you localize your applications and make them available in new languages, you open new markets and new revenue streams. Sisulizer increases your profits by making it easy to offer your software in multiple languages.
Don't give translators access to your source code. With Sisulizer, you can provide your translation team with the information they need, without making them wade through complicated programming code, and without giving up control of your source code.
Localize your software with Sisulizer, in three simple steps:
First, scan the application and locate all of the text.
Sisulizer can work directly with your C++ Builder, Delphi, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Java, or Windows binary file, or with XLIFF, or with your .NET assembly.
Sisulizer works visually with HTML and XML. Sisulizer can also grab the text from text files, and databases.
Sisulizer can also support mobile applications. Sisulizer supports .NET for Smart Devices, Pocket PC, Windows mobile, Symbian, and J2ME.
Second, translate the text with Sisulizer's visual editor.
You have complete control over every word to be translated. You can begin the translation work yourself and mark each phrase as having been translated properly, auto-translated, translated by best guess, out for review, or complete.
Use Sisulizer's Exchange Wizard to create and send your translator a single file that contains a self-installing Sisulizer Translation Edition, along with your project file.
When your translator has completed the translation, they run Exchange Wizard to create a single file that they send back to you.
Third, build the localized version.
Now that your translator has finished translating all of your strings, and you've received your updated file, simply run Sisulizer to build the new version of your program, in the new language.
It's that easy! You're in control throughout the project, and localization has never been easier.
