In their own words:
"WordWalla allows device manufacturers and application
developers to meet this challenge by developing products that
support any language. This simplifies testing and
configuration management, accelerates time to market, lowers
unit costs and allows companies to quickly and easily enter
new markets and offer greater levels of personalization and
customer satisfaction."
GlobalVu converts text to device-independent images.
GlobalEase Web is a "Java-based multilingual text input and
display engine". It includes virtual keyboards, front-end
processors, and a contextual processor and text layout engine
for left to right and right to left language formatting. They
have versions tailored to the specifications of mobile
devices.
The secret is in generating and processing images (bitmaps),
compressing them and transmitting them. In a way, WordWalla
generates a FACSIMILE message (the kind we receive on our fax
machines) every time text is exchanged. It is transparent to
both sender and receiver - and it makes a user-driven
polyglottal Internet a reality.
