Product

Lingoport has created a flexible methodology³⁷ to help developers tackle internationalization and localization issues³⁸.

Lingoport’s suite of products includes Globalyzer [20], Localyzer [21], and LocalyzerQA [22]. The Lingoport Suite supports the continuous globalization process, from the code repository [23] to the translation vendors and back. Lingoport has 19 repositories available [24] as trial versions for free.

Globalyzer -  help developers to find and fix internationalization issues in their source code.

Localyzer - automates the software localization process, integrating with development environments to streamline the translation of software applications. It detects new or updated text strings, sends them for translation, and re-integrates the translated content back into the software, facilitating continuous localization within agile development cycles.

LocalyzerQA - streamlines linguistic quality assurance, making agile localization faster and easier by reducing the number of steps needed to ensure translations are accurate and fit well within the application's context.

Also, Lingoport provides software internationalization consulting services (i18n analysis and implementation, custom projects, process customization, etc).
