Visor to be Available in 12 European Languages

Posted By: Michael Fadeev Sunday, January 21, 2001 9:07:27 AM

MDS Holdings, the sole Visor product line distributor for Central and Eastern Europe, has signed an agreement to order interface localization programs for all Handspring mobile computers for 12 European languages from Paragon Software. This will include FULL Handspring Visor interface translation so all menus, icons, and system alerts are translated to national language. The solutions will be based on new PiLoc 2.0 localization technologies with new features like Targus Portable Keyboard support and automatic start of the localization program after a system reset.

The lauguages are Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Turkish, and Ukranian.

The first group of languages are already completed. Paragon and MDS Holgings plan to start distribution of Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, and Turkish localization programs by the end of January. Starting from this time MDS Holdings will distribute all Handspring mobile computers in the above stated countries in bundles with PiLoc national language system. At the same time Paragon Software (MCD) will start on-line sales of the localization systems via on-line systems such as PalmGear.com.

We are very interested in doing Italian for Visor, but now it is not in our list.
Do you know any company in Italy that could order from us such a localization project?
It may be Italian Visor device reseller, for example...

Whats with Latvian?

Why they prefere these languages? People in Latvia and Lithuania also are using PDAs. We need localization!
