KGT Inc., which distributes CEI’s software products in Japan, was responsible for the Japanese translations and worked with CEI to complete the project. Because Reveal’s graphic interface takes advantage of the Qt toolkit, the time and effort needed to complete the localization were greatly reduced.

Many customers in international markets often use Reveal to share their visualization results with designers and sales people who may not necessarily speak English fluently. Localization for the Japanese market promises to greatly enhance Reveal’s usefulness for users dealing with this common scenario.

“Now, our customers can simply send their visualization results along with a copy of Reveal, because the latest release makes it easy for anyone to use—whether they speak English or not—thanks to the Japanese-language support,” said Yoshihito Kikkawa, senior consultant, KGT Inc. “This a great advantage for our customers, and it only took about two days to translate the entire program, including its help messages and tool tips.”
