VideoPad Introduction in Manga

Not only is it fun for us to learn about see or listen to the audio and video projects that people create with NCH Software products, we also enjoy hearing and seeing what people think about and have to say about our software. When we stumbled upon a comic in a Japanese blog introducing readers to our VideoPad video editing software we contacted the creator and asked for permission to share a translated version with our readers. So take a look at the translated VideoPad comic below.

For those of you who are curious or know Japaenese you can view the original and read more of his thoughts on VideoPad in his blog, Try! Various things! (チャレンジ！いろいろ！). While you're there scroll to the bottom of the post to watch his test video showing some of the things that VideoPad is capable of.

I is for International

NCH Software ABCs Series

There's no doubt about it, NCH Software is an international company. Over a span of nearly 20 years, NCH Software has set up base out of Canberra, Australia, established a second office in Denver, Colorado, and has remote employees clocking in from several other countries spanning the globe. Our customers are international too: not only are people downloading and using our software in multiple English speaking countries, but our most popular applications are also being translated into Spanish, French, German and Japanese to make our software even more accessible worldwide.

Our localization specialists translate the user interface, test for country-specific appropriateness and suggest changes to better adapt applications to non-English speaking markets. They also translate web content so that French, German, Japanese and Spanish-speaking Internet users can find, download and purchase our software securely in their own language from start to finish.

We are also international in retail with software available in stores across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom—a list we hope to expand as we continue grow. We also plan to continue translating our software products and programs to continue bringing you easy-to-use, affordable software solutions no matter where you happen to be—from Australia to Deutschland, or even a deserted island.

Localization Efforts Pay Off in NCH International Offerings

It has been about a year and a half since NCH Software put in place a localization initiative in order to offer our most popular software applications in French, German, Japanese and Spanish. The challenges have been many but we now provide numerous applications, including WavePad Sound Editor, VideoPad Video Editor, Prism Video Converter, and several more, in the 4 languages mentioned. Working in cooperation with NCH developers, the localization specialists at NCH translate the general user interface (GUI), test functionality for country-specific appropriateness, suggest changes to implement to better adapt NCH applications to non-English speaking markets. They also translate a significant number of web-based material to make sure that French, German, Japanese or Spanish-speaking Internet users can find relevant information, download and purchase products securely in their own languages.

Bucking the current trend of outsourcing translation and localization and relying instead on "in-house" linguists allows NCH to leverage a valuable internal product knowledge and capitalize on direct interdepartmental relationships to produce more accurate translations, faster.

Don't Get Lost in Translation

NCH Software Translation and Localization

One of the things that we are striving for with our software applications is to make them as easy to use and accessible to use as possible so that our customers can start using the programs and be up and running as quickly possible. We use the "3-minute rule" trying to make sure that you can install and start using NCH Software products in 3 minutes or less.

Another thing we have been busy with to make software even more accessible worldwide is translating our popular applications into Spanish, French and German, putting the powerful and intuitive audio editing tools of WavePad in the hands of audio enthusiasts across the globe.

If you've been to the NCH Software homepage recently, you may have noticed the addition of the language drop-menu option giving you the option to switch to Deutsch, Español or Français. In addition to those three we are gearing up to add Japanese, with a translated WavePad in Japanese coming soon, and more products to follow.
