KickApps Launches Foreign Language Localization
Just a day after NY-based KickApps launched their video monetization player, today they have announced support for foreign languages within the white label social networking platform. Any site powered by KickApps can be translated into French, Spanish, German, Italian or Brazilian Portuguese.
Marketing SVP Michael Chin walked me through how the translation works. Basically all "terms" within the KickApps platform are presented to the site owner and can be customized. You can customize the text on a term-by-term basis or download a spreadsheet with all 30,000+ terms, edit them and then upload the document. The edits can be text or HTML. I wish that Drupal, the CMS that powers CN, had a process like what KickApps has for changing terms. Remember that while this is build for languages, you can use this localization functionality to change words across the site.
Today’s announcement will allow KickApps to expand their platform and customer base internationally.
Note: KickApps is a sponsor of our sister site HTMLCenter.
