Sisulizer is the database localization specialist

Complete your software localization experience with database localization

Sisulizer's Professional and Enterprise packages have built-in support for major local database formats. The Enterprise version adds access to remote database servers. You do not need any converters or plug-ins. Just install Sisulizer and start to localize your databases*.

There are many reasons why databases are an important part of your software localization:

• You may retrieve strings for your GUI localization from a database.

• Your databases may contain data for your application that need to be localized as well as the application itself. One example is a product database for an online shopping system.

• The information in your database is the product you sell. When you localize this information, you can offer it in new markets and increase your revenues.

Sisulizer is as flexible as your database localization needs

There are many ways to understand database localization. Sisulizer covers them at all levels: clone (database), table, row, and field. The four methods Sisulizer offers to localize your databases are as follows:

• Clone Database Localization
• Row Database Localization
• Table Database Localization
• Field Database Localization

Clone Database Localization Method

Using this method, Sisulizer creates a complete clone of the database. The result is an exact copy of the original structure. The structure, including all table and field names of the database of the clone, is the same. The databases differ only in the database name.

The clone method creates one database for each localization language, here German and Japanese.

Advantage: No need to change the database structure; only the database content differs.

Row Database Localization Method

With this method, Sisulizer copies the original table row for each language. The copied rows are equal to the original one, except the language field value is different. The field value matches the language of the row. Those fields that have been marked to be localized contain a localized value. The result might look like this:

The translation is spread across multiple rows. ID and Language fields together are the unique database index.

Advantage: Just a small change in database structure which is very easy for a software developer who accesses the database content to implement.

Table Database Localization Method

This method adds localized tables for those tables that you want to localize. The localized tables contain only the primary key and those fields that are localized. The result is written to new tables with the same structure. The database tables only have different names, like description and description_ja:

On the left, you see the original table description and, on the right, the translated table description_ja.

The difference with the clone method is that the language tables are in the same database. The clone method creates a database for each language.

Advantage: Just a small change is required in the database structure which is very easy for a software developer who accesses the database content to implement.

Field Database Localization Method

In this method, Sisulizer updates the values of the localized fields in the same database row. The localized fields are equal to the original field, except that they contain data in a different language and their names differ, of course.

For example, if the original language is English and you want to localize the database in German and Japanese, you can add German and Japanese fields for those fields that contain strings for localization.

Picture shows a database table with original value and translated fields for German and Japanese language. Not all fields occur three times, because the Population field i.e. does not need to be translated.

The fields Name_de and Name_ja contain the translations.

Advantage: You need to change only the database structure of all tables with localizable content. The implementation is easy for a software developer who accesses the database content. The best advantage is that you do not need to keep redundant data.

Translation Memory

Segmentation that breaks paragraphs into sentences for smarter re-use of translated information is fully supported. Sisulizer supports SRX segmentation rules for databases, XML and HTML where long text passages are common.

Supported Database Formats

* Für das Einlesen (Scan) und Erstellen von dBASE oder Paradox Datenbanken muss die Borland (tm) BDE installiert sein. Für die Übersetzung von Inhalten aus dBASE oder Paradox zum Beispiel mit der Sisulizer Translation Edition, ist die BDE nicht erforderlich. Downloaden und installieren Sie die BDE nur, wenn Sie Inhalte aus dBASE oder Paradox Datenbanken (dies gilt nicht für die anderen unterstützten Datenbankformate) lokalisieren und weder Delphi, noch C++ Builder installiert haben (beide installieren die BDE selbst).
