SDL Desktop Products, a division of SDL International, the world’s largest provider of language translation software, announced today that Gerber Technology, a business unit of Gerber Scientific, has chosen SDL Localization Suite to help expand their reach into over 23 global markets. Gerber Technology will use the toolset to localize its .NET applications and associated Help files in addition to documentation, marketing materials and corporate Web site.

 We originally looked into products that offered simple software localization capabilities that would help us automate the process of launching our software applications on a global scale,” said Ron Gordon, Executive Director of Gerber Technology. "We soon realized that not every product vendor out there had the full suite of applications to handle every aspect of the localization process, from User Interface to Help translation – and automated quality assurance of those files. SDL Localization Suite was the perfect solution to our requirements - one suite of products, from one  company, with one support team and one development team."

"SDL Localization Suite has become the de-facto standard for complete localization toolsets and has, over the years, been rapidly replacing legacy systems that only provide part of the solution for the software localizer," said Keith Laska, General Manager of SDL Desktop Products.  “The complete set of tools in SDL Localization Suite makes it the ideal solution for organizations like Gerber Technology who see the benefit of a fully automated localization process. Localization Suite’s support for TMX* will also ensure long-term value for our customers' Translation Memory investment."
