Everything is Now Global
As the Internet becomes more and more accessible across the globe, we see that its grasp has changed everything in our world, from the way we communicate to the ways in which we do business. Our world is becoming increasingly interconnected; the barriers of geography, which once limited communication and sharing, are now coming down. There is still a problem that needs to be resolved in this ease of sharing – language. Despite the web’s best efforts, people will still not be able to communicate if they cannot understand what the other one is trying to say. To solve this problem, IBM has created their Globalised Pipeline.
What is the IBM Globalisation Pipeline?
Essentially, the IBM Globalisation Pipeline is a system which will instantly translate your app into nine different languages, with a base language of English. It is currently available in the beta format in Bluemax. Its automated translation is vital for those who are looking to expand the reach of their app into overseas markets. Beyond the base language of English, the Globalisation Pipeline can translate apps into these nine languages:
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Italian
- Japanese
- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese
- Korean
What are the Benefits of Using the IBM Globalisation Pipeline?
As an app developer, there are many reasons why you would want to be able to translate your app into different languages. Some of these benefits and advantages include:
- Seamless translation – The IBM Globalisation Pipeline allows for seamless, automated translation of languages for users in other countries. As the internet continues to rise in popularity throughout the world, people are quickly expressing that they dislike reading about anything if it is not in their native language.
- Increasing mobile use – The business of apps even exists mainly due to the increasing use of mobile devices throughout the world, making it even easier to spread information and apps.
- Developers can save time and money – App developers have many things that they need to do to get an app ready for production. With the Globalisation Pipeline, developers can focus on the core functions of the app, rather than rewrite the app in a new language.
- Save money on translation software – The Globalisation Pipeline is cheaper and more efficient than other translation software services available today.
No need to rewrite apps in new languages
Key Features
Now that you know what kind of benefits you can expect with this software, you will want to know what you get when you purchase it. It allows for a variation of import and export application formats, as well as allowing for the import of existing translations to save investments that you have already made in this area. You will also have access to a comprehensive list of open source SDKs to update the translations without the redeployment of the app. Finally, with the opportunity for human post-editing, you can ensure that the translation is always accurate, and change anything you do not like.
