[OT] Application localization - NativeSpeak Released!

[Girard Damien]

Dear Revolution users,

I am pleased to announce the release of the new RevSelect product: 
Dam-pro NativeSpeak!

NativeSpeak is a system which assists application developers working 
with Runtime Revolution who wish to offer their applications to speakers 
of different languages (for example English and French) but who do not 
wish to develop different versions of their code for each language.

Using NativeSpeak, a developer working say in English, can create code 
which is entirely English-based, including all text that the user of the 
application sees, and subsequently switch all those texts to another 
human language without any manual alteration in the code or manual 
adjustment of the size and spatial relationships between the various 
objects containing the text.

The texts are kept in a database which can be given to a human 
translator who can create equivalent texts in another language, which is 
then added to the database. The database also contains the necessary 
details of object geometry. The system is applied as a pre-processor to 
the Revolution code to adapt the application to the new language. There 
is no need for the developer to change the original Revolution code at all.

There is no limit to the number of languages that can be accommodated in 
this way.

NativeSpeak contains a number of powerful components, which are fully 
described in the documentation.
