Infralution Globalizer provides a complete solution for localizing software applications and websites built using Microsoft's .NET development platform. Version 3 of Globalizer introduces even more features including advanced comparison and validation tools.

How is Globalizer different to other localization tools?
Globalizer was designed from the ground up to work with Microsoft's .NET platform. This integration with .NET is not just an add-on, bolted on to a generic localization tool. This means that Globalizer is able leverage some of the unique capabilities of the .NET platform to simplify the translation process.

A major issue when localizing applications is the turn around time between translator and developer. Typically the developer sends the translator the resource items to be translated, the translator translates them and sends them back to the developer who then builds a new version of the application that includes the localized resources. The developer then sends the translator the new localized version of the application to verify. The problem with this approach is that the translator has to wait until the developer has done a new build to see how their translations work in the real application. Globalizer addresses this issue in two ways:

Instant Preview. The preview mechanism allows the translator to select an application form/window, control, ASP.NET page or HTML page within Globalizer and display it in any chosen language.

Deployed Localization. Deployed Localization allows the translator to build the required localized files and resources and then run the fully localized application. The translator can fully test their translations without the turnaround time of the traditional translation process, improving both the quality of the translation and the time to market for your application.

Why do I need a localization tool?
Visual Studio is an excellent development environment, however it is not optimized for the task of translating.

Typically a Visual Studio project may contain hundreds of localizable resource files - many of them containing similar text. Managing all of these files, ensuring consistency, and handling the interaction with external translators (who may have little or no technical experience) is a daunting task.

Globalizer can help you tame the complexities of localization!
