SOFTWARE TOOL SUITE IS NOW FULLY LOCALIZED, GIVING JAPANESE-SPEAKING USERS ACCESS TO ALL OF THE POWERFUL FUNCTIONALITY FOR WORKING WITH XML, DATABASES, AND UML

BEVERLY, Mass., October 5, 2010 – Altova® (http://www.altova.com) creator of XMLSpy®, the industry leading XML editor , today announced the Altova MissionKit is now available in Japanese with the release of Version 2011. Like the English and German versions of the tool suite, the fully translated Japanese language version provides users with powerful functionality for XML and Web development, data mapping and integration, rendering and publishing of XML, XBRL, and database data, UML modeling, and more. All the tools available in the new Japanese language version of The MissionKit® are available at the same cost as the English versions, and current Version 2011 users can now unlock any language version using their existing key code.

“Earlier this year we released the Japanese version of XMLSpy, and it was so well received that we decided with the launch of Version 2011 to localize our entire product line,” said Alexander Falk, President & CEO at Altova. “Having our MissionKit tool suite available to an international customer base in their own native language makes working with our tools even easier. And now with the release of Version 2011 and its support for charts and reporting, our tools provide customers with a whole new dimension to the way they display and analyze XML, database, XBRL, and other types of data.”

The MissionKit Version 2011 brings a host of new features to an already robust software tool suite. Ground-breaking support for creating charts and reports based on data in XML files and other sources, such as databases, XBRL, and more, has been added to XMLSpy, StyleVision®, MapForce®, and DatabaseSpy®. Numerous other enhancements have also been added in Version 2011, including a schema flattener and subset creator in XMLSpy, support for chained transformation and extended functionality for working with UN/EDIFACT and ANSI/X12 EDI messages and transaction sets in MapForce, new functionality for working with HTML/CALS tables in StyleVision, a new SQL database diagram for modeling relational databases in UModel®, a new scripting editor for the creation of interactive Authentic® eForms, and much more.
