SDL Passolo is a specialized software localization tool. It directly can handle a large number of 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.
SDL Passolo is very easy-to-use and optimizes the software localization process. Users require neither time-consuming and expensive training nor programming experience. Software localization can be done without the access to the source code or the developers and can begin even before the final release of the software is available.
New! Revolutionary QuickIndex technology for faster projects completion!
