LinguaNext Technologies’ “Linguify.S” becomes
an SAP-Endorsed Business Solution
Linguify.S integrated with SAP® applications to give SAP customers
additional local language deployment options
PUNE, India – April 1st, 2015 – LinguaNext Technologies today announced that its language
platform Linguify.S is now an SAP-endorsed business solution for all countries worldwide. SAP
will continue to develop localized versions for selected on-premise or cloud solutions, while
LinguaNext will offer complementary solutions for product and language combinations not
covered by SAP.
Linguify.S makes no changes or modifications to the underlying SAP® software or application
databases. Instead, language conversion is handled externally at the display level, with all
screen output translated in real time using a customized in-memory dictionary. This allows
customers to run a single language instance of an SAP application across multiple regions, with
users in each country selecting their preferred display language from a drop-down menu.
Solutions endorsed by SAP SE are complementary to SAP software offerings, have been
specifically integrated with SAP solutions and tested by SAP, and provide additional choices and
flexibility for businesses running SAP software.
“Companies are increasingly realizing the benefits of providing their staff, their partners and
customers in each country with business applications in their native language,” says LinguaNext
CEO and co-founder Jagdish Sahasrabudhe. “Surveys clearly show that employee productivity
and customer engagement levels are much higher when user interfaces and e-commerce
platforms are provided in the local language of the country.”
Added Sahasrabudhe, “The LinguaNext solution dramatically reduces the cost, complexity,
deployment and time to market of local language enablement of business applications. We are
delighted to have received this global endorsement from SAP, the world’s leading provider of
enterprise application software.”
Said VR Ferose, managing director, SAP Globalization Services, “As the SAP solution portfolio
continues to expand and customer demand for local language increases, we have been looking
at innovative new ways to deliver local language that will complement SAP’s own efforts and
give our customers more choice. Having endorsed the LinguaNext solution two years ago for
selected markets and solutions, we felt very confident expanding the partnership to markets
and products worldwide.”
