ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MAGAZINE  MULTILINGUAL COMPUTING
 
Multilingual Computing (ISSN 1065-7657) is a magazine and buyer's guide. Since
its introduction it has become the leading industry publication and by far
contains the most extensive and up-to-date listing of related products in the
buyer's guide section. Previously published under the titles of the Worldwide
Language Guide and SESAME Bulletin the magazine took on major changes and a new
title for its 1993 introduction, Multilingual Computing.
 
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 Buyer's guide. The editorial includes regular
departments on Machine Assisted Translation, Localizations, Standards,
Electronic Communication, Product Distribution and Availability, New and
Updated Product Watch, Industry Outlook and Changes, Computer Assisted Language
Learning, Hardware, a rotating Language specific focus, and special feature
articles.
 
Volume 4 Issue 1, published for the second Quarter of 1993, 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 Buyer's Guide portion of the magazine lists multilingual computing related
products. This section is very extensive and thorough. It is the result of 6
years worth of research in the US, Pacific Rim, and Europe. More than 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, Hand held 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 Buyer's 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.
