Algor Internationalizes FEA Software
PITTSBURGH, PA - June 2, 2005 - ALGOR, Inc., a leading provider of design, analysis and simulation software, announced an early June release of the first-ever, multilingual, full-featured finite element analysis (FEA) software that works associatively with most CAD solid modelers. This new internationalized version allows engineers to run the software in any one of six languages, including Chinese (simplified), English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
"Feature-rich and easy-to-use FEA software is now available in a single internationalized package," said ALGOR Product Manager Bob Williams. "Working in a native language reduces the learning curve and increases the efficiency and productivity of engineers, resulting in savings of lime and money during the design process."
"This release reflects our commitment to the international community and is a response to the growing demand for a convenient means of operating the software in any one of the languages most familiar to our engineering clients," said ALGOR Vice President of Operations Teresa Anania. "In addition, we include all languages in one program with no additional charge to the customer, a significant value-added improvement to our family of products."
"As a native Chinese speaker, I think it is a great benefit to be able to work in my native language," said Kou Xiaodong, Technical Manager of Beijing EnginTech Engineering, Inc. of Beijing, China. "I am able to work faster and with more confidence using the internationalized version of ALGOR software. Plus, I can also easily change my language settings and show analysis results to my colleagues or customers in their preferred language."
ALGOR worked with language localization experts at Echo International to ensure that its multilingual support accounted for such considerations as dialect, culture, currency, writing style, numbering, weights and measures, timing, geography, dating and more.
"ALGOR software was a pleasure to work with and provides engineers working in numerous languages with a seamless, well-integrated and fully localized language platform," said Echo International CEO Les Dutka. "ALGOR's localization process promises to be a fruitful one for the company and its customers."
ALGOR's newly internationalized software incorporates all V17 features while adding the following new features:
o graphical user interface and user documentation in Chinese (simplified), English, French, German, Italian and Spanish
o automatic language detection based on Windows regional settings
o convenient selection of language of user's choice
o available for a wide range of analysis types
o updated with ALGOR's regular (quarterly) release schedule
