50. Advantages 2 1 Satisfaction Savings Separating the translation process from development saves time and money. This is possible thanks to a number of WizTom Studio buitl-in productivity tools and Multilingual Database reuse. Users and customers work with an application or a Web site translated to their language of choice. 3 4 Homogeneity Rapidity Web sites and applications may be provided in several languages to the users very quickly. One single software caters for all linguistic and technical contexts. Translations are centralized.
