To be able to translate such applications and to make them available in different languages Eurocity Software has developed a server based translation application that can translate WEB content from any one language to another. There is for example no problem in making a Japanese homepage available in Swedish or English or Russian with Software Translator for WEB.

For those responsible for a homepage, a translation using Software Translator for Web gives the following advantages.

They need only update and manage one WEB-structure, not many different language versions
They need only test and verify one WEB-structure, not many different language versions
They can easily outsource translations of WEB pages to translation firms, local distributors or agents since they don’t need access to a web-pages source code in order to translate it
They can reach new language markets

An example of a relatively static WEB-application in English

The same WEB-application in Polish

Because Software Translator for WEB translates by exchanging a designated word or phrase with the corresponding word or phrase in a different language it is well suited for relatively static WEB-applications such as booking programs for train and plane tickets, WEB shops, product catalogs, CRM programs, accounting programs and more. Software Translator for WEB does not analyze the grammar within a text or try to understand its meaning. For this reason 100% correct translation is achieved for all words and phrases predefined in dictionaries customized for particular WEB-applications.

Bilingual programs – both in original language AND translated at the same time!

Now you can have your Windows program in English and at the same time translated into your own language! Using a program in one’s own language is almost always desirable as it means a greater understanding of the program and therefor a more effective user.

Sometimes this need is not compatible with the company policy of an international company where English is the chosen business language, or the fact that support and course material is often only available in English. The solution is to run the program in English and have the translation in the tooltips available everywhere.

The translation is entirely separate in the new tooltip which is available everywhere

Translate ”shared files” from Windows. Only way to achieve 100%translation

Most modern Windows programs today get part of their user interface from the operating system (Windows). This means that if you run a German program on an English operating system you will get a mixture of English and German despite the entire program having been translated.

With Software Translator everything to do with a program is translated regardless of whether parts of the user interface come from ”shared files” in Windows. This means that a %100 correct translation rate of a program can be achieved even if the program retrieves Open-, Save- and other dialogue boxes from the Windows operating system.

Acrobat Reader translated into Swedish using Software Translator. It gets completely translated despite being run on an English operating system.

Acrobat Reader translated into Swedish using traditional techniques. When it runs on an English operating system the user interface becomes a mixture of English and Swedish
