NEW YORK, NY, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
SpeakLike -- a leader in rapid human translation services for SMBs,
individuals, and large enterprises -- today announced the availability of
SpeakLike Strings, a fast and affordable service enabling developers and
other IT professionals to translate any web content and localize software
apps and user interface content into 35 languages. Today's news follows
on the heels of the announcement of SpeakLike's free WordPress plugin for
translating blog content.
While software and websites are built using various development languages
such as Java, .NET, and PHP, developers seeking to reach a global
audience must accommodate multi-lingual support for key elements that are
visible to the user or website visitor. This can include website content,
menu and navigation elements, forms, and more. The new SpeakLike Strings
service simplifies the process of translating software and website
content, with support for 35 languages and business-quality results
within minutes or hours.
"In today's global economy, software developers and marketers are
increasingly catering to a worldwide audience and they understand the
need to localize the user experience for end users in any language," said
Sanford Cohen, SpeakLike Founder and CEO. "The SpeakLike Strings offering
was designed with self-service, ease-of-use, and fast turnaround built
in. You can simply establish an account with a turnaround time target,
set up your quality improvement tools, load your string files, and then
download your translated strings. When you update your content, you only
pay for new translations."
SpeakLike's Translation-as-a-Service (TaaS) model uses the company's
crowdsourcing team of thousands of SpeakLike translators located around
the world alongside proprietary systems and processes designed to
professionally manage workflow and handle output review and overall
quality assurance. Customers initiate SpeakLike Strings projects via the
company's secure web interface and may submit translation requests one at
a time or in batch mode as a Java properties or CSV file.
"SpeakLike Strings has made it fast and easy for us to submit thousands
of translation requests all at the same time," says Denis Kashkin, CTO of
BedandBreakfast.com. "The fact that we can directly submit HTML with
embedded data fields has saved us a lot of time. I can even track the
progress of each project as the translators work on them and download the
results whenever it's convenient for my team to immediately begin to
incorporate the content into our website."
The new SpeakLike Strings service is available effective immediately. For
