Beiks localization kit InterType for Palm handhelds simplifies installing extra languages on Palm Tungsten models
New Palm localization application release adds Russian, Turkish, Greek and more to Tungsten T5
DALLAS (November 24, 2004) - - Today Beiks LLC announced the new version of its popular localization kit InterType for Palm powered handhelds.
InterType allows users to read and enter data in languages other than the ones provided by the device manufacturer.
Currently, it allows adding support for Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Ukrainian, Russian, Greek and Turkish.
The newly released version adds support for the recently announced Tungsten T5 model, as well as general improvements in the support for the Tungsten models with soft input keyboards like Tungsten T3/T5.
"Localization is pretty much essential for anyone whose native language is not among the ones built in the original device configuration. Even if you know English or German or Spanish well enough, if you are a native Russian speaker, you would likely be receiving emails in Russian, reading Russian websites and having contacts in Russian. Therefore, you would likely need to have Russian localization for Palm, not just an application-by-application solution.
Without attempting to completely turn the device to a Russian or Greek or Turkish one, InterType addresses the very need to be able to read and write other languages in every application", said Bobby Kolev, president of Beiks.
InterType retails for $19.95, which price include all supported languages. It does not, however, allow text to be entered via Grafitti.
Competing solutions' average cost was found to be over $29.95 for a single language.
