OpenEdge® Translation Manager™

Progress Translation Manager improves the localization process so that organizations can more efficiently create and deliver high-quality multilingual versions of their applications. In a global business environment, development of multilingual applications is a critical requirement for enterprise-wide systems. Organizations conducting business in different countries find that their mission-critical applications must support local business practices in their native languages.

Translation Manager addresses the major challenge of localizing applications, that is, the delivery of translated versions with the same robustness, usability, portability, and scalability regardless of the language in which it was first developed. In addition, it improves accuracy, expense, time-to-market, and maintenance associated with multiple versions. The Translation Manager and its companion Visual Translator enable localizing an application without modifying source code. The Visual Translator is a powerful tool as it allows the translator to localize the user interface in context. Higher quality and accuracy result when a translator can see the context of the terminology as well as see the impact of a chosen translation on the interface.
