ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NEW MAGAZINE              "MULTILINGUAL COMPUTING"
--  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --  --

"Multilingual Computing" (ISSN 1065-7657) is a new magazine and buyers
guide. Published quarterly, it is a combined effort of three publications
previously published under the titles of "SESAME Bulletin" (ISSN 0950-2025),
"Multilingual PC Directory" (ISBN 1-873091-01-X), and the "Worldwide
Language Guide". The publication now brings together an industry that has
long been fragmented and disjunct. Targeted for end users and software
developers, the magazine presents the industry with current issues,
trends, technology, and players. Multilingual computing as an industry
is given validity, strength, and full recognition.

With a total of 144 pages, the magazine provides 40 pages of editorial
and 104 pages for an extensive buyers guide. The editorial includes
regular departments on Machine Translation, Localization and Human
Translation, Standards, Distribution, Product Watch, Industry Outlook,
Computer Assisted Language Learning, a rotating Language specific
focus, and special features.

The latest issue, Volume 4 Issue 1, features Japanese computing with
articles on the following: Mangajin Magazine, KanjiLink Newsletter,
WordPerfect for Japanese, Qualitas Trading for Japanese Software,
Computing in Japanese, Developing for Japanese, KanjiTalk and Apple
Macintosh.

Other articles in the current issue include: Unicode/ISO 10646,
Computer Aided Instruction, Naming Software for International
Distribution, Font Standards, Korean Processing, LexiTRANS Machine
Translation, WorldScript, and a variety of Industry and Product News.

The Buyers Guide portion of the magazine lists multilingual computing
related products. This section is very extensive and thorough. It is
the result of 5 years worth of research both in the US and the United
Kingdom. Over 1200 listings are published throughout the year. The
listings are cross platform including MS/DOS, Windows, UNIX,
Macintosh, Tandy, IBM RS/6000, OS/2, NT, NeXT, DOS/V, AX VGA/S,
Handheld systems, and others.

The current issue lists 491 of the 1200 total listings. As this issue
featured Japanese Computing, 136 of these listings support Japanese.
Categories for listings include: Computer Equipment, Development,
Educational, Fonts and System Software, General Applications, Machine
Translation, Optical Character Recognition, Publications, Services,
Writing and Publishing.

Listings for over 300 languages are represented in the Buyers Guide
organized by Scripts as defined by the Unicode consortium. These
scripts are American Non-Roman Phonetic, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian,
Cyrillic, Far Eastern, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Maldavian, North
Indian and Tibetan, Roman, South East Asian, and South Indian and Sri
Lankan.
