28 July 2010
Kokusaika JP Inc. Start Internationalization of Software with Specialist’s Prescription! Kokusaika JP has launched a new service called “Source Code Clinic” by using its software internationalization tool. On July 28, 2010, Kokusaika JP (located in Kanda,Tokyo), which has been contributing to the abundant global society via software internationalization, has launched a new service called Source Code Clinic to accommodate the glowing need for the multilingalization, especially in English and Chinese by using its software internationalization tool, World Wide Navi. ■Summary of Source Code Clinic The very important first step to lead a software internationalization project to success is to obtain an accurate estimate. Without knowing the proper process for the internationalization, even the original developer cannot estimate it correctly. There are many cases that software companies come up with unreasonably high estimates since they are not sure how much time it will take due to the lack of specific knowledge. As a result, people have given up selling their high quality software in the global market. The methods of internationalization have been standardized so that the risk is minimal. It is as if undergoing a heart bypass surgery, odds of success will be higher with a well experienced knowledgeable expert. Kokusaika JP uses its original software internationalization tool, World Wide Navi, to analyze the source code, find out the problems and possible solutions and apply the result to create an estimate. All the result will be included in the report and sent as a file. All the analytical rules used in the analysis will be provided for the future use. You can use the rules by yourself when you purchase a World Wide Navi license. You can also use Source Code Clinic as a second opinion for on-going projects. ■Summary of World Wide Navi World Wide Navi avoids a one way conversion like Japanese to English, instead, it functions as an internationalization supporting tool and creates the versatile foundation of the internationalization. It is a necessary feature to conduct a global software business; however, this concept is not well penetrated in Japan. It is one of the reasons that it is difficult to bear global software in Japan. World Wide Navi analyzes the source code of software applications, and find out the bottlenecks and provides solutions and other references. It also extracts the hard coded strings which is the most high cost process of the internationalization. Automating this process will reduce the human error and improve the efficiency and quality of the software internationalization. ■Related URLs Source Code Clinic http://www.kokusaika.jp/en/service/source-code-clinic.html World Wide Navi: product features http://www.kokusaika.jp/en/product/wwnavi.html ■World Wide Navi: Download free trial A free trial version can be downloaded from Kokosaika JP website.
