Lingobit Localizer

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 10:11:53 GMT

Localization solution for MFC, Delphi, .NET and Java based applications.

Features include:
- Support for multiple platforms: binary localization (Win32/MFC applications), Java Properties files, .NET Resource files and XML files.
- Visual Localization: includes visual editors for dialogs.
- Localizability Testing: Pseudo-Translate Expert can be used early during your product development cycle to determine if an application is ready for localization. For example, you may use it to determine if a product crashes if a series of strings are translated. Or to verify whether the application's source code has been clearly separated from the application's localizable resources.
- Automated QA: Validation Expert helps to ensure quality of your translation. With it you can identify many common mistakes such as inconsistent format strings, duplicate hotkeys, missing periods and others.
- Translation Memory: helps companies leverage on their previous work and reduce repetitive tasks.
- Statistics: With Statistics Expert you can evaluate software localization progress and pinpoint trouble spots. You can see which parts of project are behind schedule and which one are on time.
- Support for any language: supports more than 180 different languages, including European, Asian and right-to-left languages.

Passolo

Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:44:16 GMT

Software localization tool.
Passolo can handle various software specific file formats, including executable programs, resource files and XML based files. Text strings can be translated into numerous languages including Asian languages (Unicode) and right-to-left scripts like Hebrew and Arabic.
Software localization can be done without access to the source code or the developers and can begin even before the final release of the software is available.
Passolo ensures compilation, exchange and processing of translation data.

Features include:
- WYSIWYG editors to adapt the user interface of a software. This includes editors for dialogs, menus, bitmaps, icons, and cursors.
- Fuzzy Matching Technology searches similar texts as well as exact matches.
- The Pseudo Translation checks the application for localization suitability before actual translation begins.
- A QA feature can check the spelling of the texts and enables automatic recognition of truncated or overlapping text and incorrect allocation of shortcuts, accelerators and access keys.
- Special Passolo editions for large or distributed projects enable the user to exchange data with external translators.
- VBA compatible scripting engine and OLE automated.
- Resources generated with .NET can be localized, including binary files (EXE, satellite DLLs and assemblies) and resource files used for development (RESX and RESOURCE). In addition to the localization of text strings in table form, WYSIWYG editors are provided for displaying and processing dialogs, menus and bitmaps. Also Custom Properties of control elements can be localized.
- All Java platforms (J2EE, J2SE, and J2ME) are supported. The resource data formats can be processed not only in Java source files, but also in compiled binary files and compressed JAR files.
- Ability to run diagnostic reports to quickly analyse problems and adjust localization kit accordingly.
- Collaboration edition.
- Support for machine translation.

Google Web Toolkit

Thu, 04 Nov 2010 18:56:38 GMT

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language.

With GWT, you write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML.

Features include:
- Dynamic, reusable UI components.
- Simple RPC: To communicate from your web application to your web server, you just need to define serializable Java classes for your request and response.
- Browser history management: Handles the browser's back button history.
- Real debugging: In production, your code is compiled to JavaScript, but at development time it runs in the Java virtual machine. That means when your code performs an action like handling a mouse event, you get full-featured Java debugging, with exceptions and the advanced debugging features of IDEs like Eclipse.
- Browser compatible: Supports IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, and Opera with no browser detection or special-casing within your code in most cases.
- Interoperability and fine-grained control: If GWT's class library doesn't meet your needs, you can mix handwritten JavaScript in your Java source code using our JavaScript Native Interface (JSNI).
- In-browser development mode
- Declarative user interface: using an XML format, the UiBinder feature allows the creation of user interfaces through declaration rather than code
- Resource bundling
- Code splitting
- DOM API

Cayenne

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:13:32 GMT

Openn source persistence framework providing object-relational mapping and remoting services.
Cayenne binds one or more database schemas directly to Java objects, managing atomic commit and rollbacks, SQL generation, joins, sequences, and more. With Cayenne's Remote Object Persistence, those Java objects can even be persisted out to clients via Web Services. Or, with native XML serialization, objects can be even further persisted to non-Java clients, such as an Ajax-capable browser.

Cayenne is distributed with CayenneModeler, a GUI mapping tool that supports reverse-engineering of RDBMS schemas, working with database mappings and generation of Java source code for the persistent objects.
Persistent Java classes are generated and synchronized with the mapping using the Modeler or alternatively with an Ant task. A database SQL schema can be generated from the Modeler and also with simple API calls.
