About Lingoport
On the product front, back in June we released Lingoport
Dashboard, a new product to help development teams
and management monitor internationalization code-
readiness and issues. Cisco’s internationalization expert
Gary Lefman joined us as a guest-presenter for two
Dashboard webinars. I recommend you watch the replay
of at least one of these webinars if you missed the live
sessions.
In July we announced the release of Globalyzer 4.1 and
you may also review a short webinar summarizing new
features here, and read about it here.
Development continues on a new product that provides
many time and engineering savings for string resource
management from release to release. You’ll be hearing
more about that in September, but it is a great

2. complement to Globalyzer and will make life a lot easier
for localization engineering on an ongoing basis.
Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Adam
Top-Five Considerations to Make When Internationalizing
Software
In this fast-paced 30-minute webinar, Adam Asnes will present the top-five
considerations to make when internationalizing software to ensure that a project
end successfully
Join Adam on Wednesday, August 22nd at 11am PDT and learn how to go beyond
basic string externalization. There vital pieces to i18n puzzle, including budget,
expertise, test protocols and source quality that have to fit together to successfully
prepare an application for localization.
Registration for this webinar is available here
Lingoport Dashboard: Visual data you can act upon
In June, Lingoport released a valuable addition to its suite of products to help
companies ensure global readiness by visually tracking i18n issues within the code,
identifying which pieces of code need work and measure progress over time. A brief
demo of Lingoport Dashboard is available below.
Recently, Lingoport held a webinar series highlighting the features of the newly
released Lingoport Dashboard. As part of a two-part series, Lingoport was pleased

3. to welcome Gary Lefman, Internationalization Architect at Cisco, to share his i18n
expertise as well as his vision for a global maturity model.
Part one of the webinar series highlighted how i18n source code quality could be
measured at a glance while part two drilled down to how development teams can
drill down into i18n issues as part of an ongoing build.
Globalyzer 4.1 Released - Internationalize Faster and More
Effectively
In Lingoport's latest update of Globalyzer, we took some very clear ease of use
suggestions from some “power” customers and our own i18n services team. We
built on that to give developers faster and easier filter writing capabilities, and a
new heuristic system that prioritizes internationalization errors detected by
likelihood and severity for embedded strings, locale limiting
methods/functions/classes and programming patterns. This helps you get to the
most important i18n issues faster. Plus, we made it all highly configurable. What
that all means is that if you haven’t looked at Globalyzer in a while, it’s time to take
another look. There’s more, and you can read the release notes for more details.
We held a short webinar to highlight the features of Globalyzer 4.1 in July. The
recording of this webinar is available here (registration free).
Question of the month: Agile Development, SaaS and i18n
"Can you expand on i18n for a SaaS product or rapid (Agile) environment with
monthly localized releases?"
Answer: First of all, SaaS is a fairly common architecture these days, and agile is
one of our best friends with Globalyzer because the point of it is is to make
incremental changes to the code base. By its nature, if internationalization is a

4. requirement, you will want to do that as you go. So that fact that you have
Globalyzer, that you can run your code through it before testing makes a lot of
sense. It controls that internationalization potential technical debt, and as far as
the SaaS architecture, one of the strengths of Globalyzer is that it works with a lot
of different programming languages. Whether it’s Java, Objective-C for mobile
platforms or basic HTML, Globalyzer's advantage is that it's customizable with a
multitude of programming languages.
Featured White Paper: Measuring Internationalization with a
Dashboard
What gets measured, gets done. Period. A recent Lingoport webinar poll revealed
that nearly 3/4 of all respondents experienced delays in releasing global software
products. Getting software products to market late can have a huge impact on a
company's bottom line and can put its reputation on the line.
We invite you to read this white paper and learn how globally oriented companies are now
able to track, analyze and act on code quality data to avoid costly mistakes.
