BEIJING--(Business Wire)--
CSOFT International Ltd., a leading provider of multilingual localization,
testing, and software development services for the global market, announced
today the public launch of TermWiki Community Edition at www.termwiki.com.
TermWiki is the localization industry's first collaborative and wiki-based
terminology management system. Starting today, anyone can immediately access
TermWiki`s database to search, create, review, and rate multilingual
terminology. In addition to TermWiki`s already powerful set of terminology
management features, users now have the ability to organize multilingual
terminology by product category, company name or business sector. 

"By opening TermWiki to the public, we hope to create a community devoted to the
countless benefits of terminology management. TermWiki is a de facto portal for
corporate information managers, translation managers, translators, reviewers,
terminologists, technical writers, educators, and anyone who recognizes the
importance of content management in the localization process, to share and
collaborate on the development of multilingual terminology for a variety of
industries, such as IT, Life Sciences, Consumer Electronics and Manufacturing,"
said Ms. Shunee Yee, President and CEO of CSOFT, and the 2009 Stevie Award
Winner for Best Female Entrepreneur in Asia. "What`s more, in addition to being
free for public use, TermWiki Community Edition offers the best possible
solution for effectively managing, monitoring and controlling the cloud-based
terminology development process, leading to higher overall quality of content,
translations and, in the end, consumer experience." 

The community edition of TermWiki comes with a host of powerful features,
including dynamic terminological data attributes, as well as the ability to rank
the pertinence and accuracy of individual terms and translations. This new
generation of terminology management software also includes dynamic properties
that support a range of data types, such as web pages, images, audio
pronunciations, Tweets, YouTube videos, and an endless number of interactive
features, all aimed at providing linguistic context to clarify the use of
terminology at the source level. Bolstered with a state-of-the-art community
voice feature, TermWiki Community Edition now enables companies to collect the
input of internal staff and customers alike regarding the quality of terms and
their associated translations. This will help companies to gather valuable
feedback from users, which has a direct impact on the success of a product or
service in the international market. 

Recognized by localization market research firm Common Sense Advisory as a
software solution that has the potential to "lower the barrier to terminology
management," TermWiki delivers an unparalleled, user-friendly terminology
management solution that will assist businesses in streamlining their approach
to international product releases. 

"Today`s launch marks an important milestone in multilingual terminology
management, as TermWiki allows the collective sum of expert knowledge across all
industries to be seamlessly harnessed and dispersed among globalization
professionals. We are very excited to be able to contribute to this process and
to witness how TermWiki will evolve through the collective expertise of the
localization community," continued Ms. Yee.
