subject: Radialix Review [print this page] These days, the software market is truly international and software localization is more important than ever before when it comes to making a success in the software industry. Penetrating the foreign markets can increase the profits of a company enormously, but in order to succeed, your programmers need to go through the often arduous of software translation. Software localization is not something to be taken lightly, however, and it can be an extremely complicated and tiresome process, especially if you do not have the best tools at your disposal to help. Ideally, software localization should be taken into account before the software is even written.
Localizing your software and its resource files can be a very complicated task, but with the right tools at your disposal, you can get great results in less time and without so many complications. Radialix 2 is one of these solutions, supporting binary localization of the applications and any of its resource files. Complex and powerful, the software is nonetheless designed to be relatively easy to use. Using this solution, you can localize executable files, .NET assemblies (including those which do not initially support localization), resource files, INI configuration files and many other text file formats. The software combines the ease-of-use of a convenient WYSIWYG editor with a set of powerful productivity tools. These tools include features such as automatic translation, translation simulation, validation and memory.
Radialix 2 works by extracting any localizable resources from the original program files themselves. This means that you can easily localize any hard-coded dialogs, forms, menus, strings and various other resources. All of this can be done in the WYSIWYG editor. Incredibly easy to use, Radialix 2 only requires that you enter the translation into the relevant language fields. Translating string resources can be done using the automatic translation feature. This searches for translations in the translated strings or translation memory. This feature can search for 100% matches for complete accuracy.
Providing a solution to all your .NET application localization needs, Radialix 2 is cheaper and easier to use than most other software localization solutions. There are also separate editions available for both corporate and personal users.
