Linguify from LinguaNext is a product series specifically engineered for the enterprise group of applications. Linguify is a refreshingly different approach to software language localization. Unlike conventional software development tools that mainly help organize the process of internationalizing the ERP application source code, Linguify is a run-time add-on to the ERP application that enables the application to operate in different languages.
Differentiating Factors
As compared to the conventional internationalization and localization projects, where there is intensive work involved on the development front, the key differentiating factor of LinguaNext products is - there is no change to the source code or database. LinguaNext offers robust, scalable, zero risk, upgrade proof products that do not disrupt existing operations.
Product Value to Customers
Local language enablement of an enterprise application provides valuable, simple and cost effective way to add value to the customer environment. Application interfaces made available in local language for end users reduce errors. For example, in manufacturing companies majority of the workforce is blue collar, who don’t understand English. Such a workforce may not be able to read the application screens or reports and even if they do, they are unable to understand the terminologies. In addition to the above, production workers and suppliers operate in local language. Without any change required to the core enterprise application, LinguaNext products enable an organization to adhere to local language compliance norms.
