Online Forum, Tools and Resources will Speed Localization Efforts

RESTON, Va., May 7, 2007 - SWsoft today announced an online forum and expanded resources to enhance language support and strengthen its global community of local translators for SWsoft products around the world.

SWsoft made the announcement at the 2007 SWsoft Global Hosting Summit, which this year has attracted close to 300 attendees from some 30 countries.

SWsoft has always worked closely with its customers to leverage their knowledge of local market languages and terminology in product localization efforts. To maximize these resources, SWsoft has launched a localization forum on the Software Developer Network (SWDN) and is offering new tools, documents and other resources to make the localization process faster and easier.

"Localization efforts by our customers and partners have played a critical role in the implementation of SWsoft products around the globe," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. "By opening up the process of localizing our products and providing exhaustive support to our large translator community, SWsoft improves the quality of localization efforts while investing more resources into technology innovation."

SWsoft expects to advance the following goals as a result of the new localization efforts:

• Enhance the quality of support already provided for the eight most frequently demanded languages: English, German, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
• Simultaneous shipping of SWsoft products in all eight supported languages. Currently, SWsoft products are simultaneously shipped for English, German, Spanish and Japanese.
• Involve more people in localizing SWsoft products.
• Build and enhance communication between community translators.
• Provide support to community translators.
