Alchemy Software Development Limited, a provider of visual localization solutions, has announced the launch of its Alchemy Language Exchange, a translation asset repository that enables global companies to centralize the storage of any translation asset.

Alchemy Language Exchange incorporates a SOA-based repository designed to allow companies to reuse previously translated material in future localization projects. Alchemy Language Exchange is powered by either a Microsoft SQL or Oracle back end and uses web services to facilitate web-based sharing of translation memories and collaboration between project managers, localization engineers, and professional translators.

Tony O'Dowd, CEO and President of Alchemy Software Development said, "Translation memories are seldom shared. The prevailing model for the industry today is to have a vast number of individual TM's dispersed amongst a project team. This leads to lower re-use, inconsistent translations, and drives higher quality assurance and engineering costs. Alchemy Language Exchange addresses this problem head-on".

According to Ajax World [TM] International, clients such as Siemens, Canon and Citrix are joining

the industry trial programme, which runs until February 2007, and are deploying Alchemy Language

Exchange Servers within their existing localization workflows.
