Localizer 1.1.0 released

Two years after release of Localizer 1.0, I am pleased to announce the availability of the next major version, Localizer 1.1.

Localizer is a Zope product for developers and web masters. Localizer solves the problem of building multilingual products and web sites, ranging from internationalization and localization of the user interface to management of multilingual content.

What's new in 1.1

This release brings several new features. Specifically Localizer now supports industry standards such as TMX and XLIFF, which enhance the interoperability of Localizer based applications within mainstream environments.

Native support for i18n namespaces for ZPT (Zope Page Templates) is included avoiding the need to install other products.

The user interfaces have been vastly improved, specially for LocalContent objects.

Four new translations are available: Danish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian.

Localizer 1.1 has been re-packaged and now depends on itools Python package and iHotfix Zope product. While these changes make installation a bit more complex, the added benefit is simplified source management. Furthermore this subtle change makes Localizer Services available to the wider audience of Python developers.

Last but not least, Localizer's stability has been dramatically improved by resolution of many bugs resulting in a mature and even more reliable product.
