SDL Desktop Products, a division of SDL International, the world's largest provider of language translation software, announced today that Surfware, one of the top ten fastest-growing CAD/CAM software companies in the world, has chosen SDLX to help expand their reach into new global markets.

 Surfware's continual expansion into international markets is dependent on its ability to quickly and cost-effectively localize its software.

"The more languages we support, the more important it is that we leverage the latest technology to optimize the localization process," said Chris Stockhill, Documentation Manager for Surfware. "SDLX incorporates many powerful features for localizing software, including tag protection in help files and the ability to hide non-translatable code. Its easy-to-use interface improves productivity and its TMX certified translation memory protects our investment in translation assets".  

"More and more hi-tech software companies are finding that to enter new global markets successfully they need high level quality in the localization of their products, including documentation and help files," said Keith Laska, General Manager of SDL Desktop Products. "SDLX's support for TMX* also ensures long-term value for our customers' Translation Memory investment because it provides them with the freedom to switch their TMs between all TMX Certified products."
