Interlecta News and Product Blog

Many companies release new products before Christmas and New Year, but we from Interlecta release such after the happy holidays. We also wait for Santa to bring some presents and use the holidays for rest, fun, and winter sports.

It is just now, when everything is quiet and no one sings jingle bells, that we use our working hours to create and release a product or two on App World. It is a brand new advanced version of our Translator for BlackBerry. The gadget has a network diagnostic tool, which will save you time, effort and confusion checking the available connections your BlackBerry and wireless carrier provide, i.e. Interlecta Translator will “know” which connection to choose in order to work properly.

The product has a new interface, better network service, use of Wi-Fi, and the most important - built-in support button. Customers won’t need to visit our homepage in order to contact our support department because they will be able to do this directly from the application. This system will provide all the details our developers need to resolve the technical issues.

Last but not least is the fact that Interlecta Translator for BlackBerry has been released in a Try’n'Buy version. Everyone can test it on their favorite BlackBerry for seven days after which they will need to pay a small fee for a whole year subscription and priority support. What is the fee? Please check this link in order to try and buy our brand new Interlecta Translator for BlackBerry or go here and look for Interlecta.

Winter came to remind us that New Year and February are coming closer….and with February comes  the Mobile World Congress 2010 in which we intend to take part in.

We have already started to physically and mentally prepare ourselves for the event as a picture of two of our staff members has appeared on the pages of the brochure for the upcoming 2010 Congress! We are good an have to keep ourselves looking that way!

To get more serious now, we in Interlecta are preparing new features and new applications  and are working very hard to climb some more steps up on the ladder of the most significant mobile software developers. Problem with missing fonts on BlackBerrys has been solved and version with the new feature will be released as soon as ready and approved.

So, wait for more news!

The Startup Conference is a conference that gathers students, investors (a.k.a. angels), entrepreneurs, Vcs, into the conference hall of a university which this year was the University of Architecture, Building Engineering and Geodesy in Sofia. The aim of every entrepreneur who gets the possibility to take part and speak about their company/product for 3 minutes, is to find an angel willing to take them to the heaven of successful business.

On the 21 and 22 November Interlecta was one of the fifteen to enlighten the Startup Conference with their presence. The spokesman on our behalf was, of course, our managing director Neven Boyanov who, in three minutes only, presented our company, showed some statistics on the global mobile and Internet usage, defined a problem and suggested a solution.  Short as it seems, the time was enough to attract angels and Vcs on our side during the elevator pitch itself and on a cup of coffee later on.

The second day of the Startup Conference passed in talks who is who in the startup business, coffee pauses and more lectures on how to be successful or unsuccessful in your business.

Not literally, of course. What is meant is that another translator with the name Interlecta Translator is the new product offered on the mobile software market in India. This time Interlecta are partnering with the most influential wireless carrier in India, AirTel, and offering the product on Cellmania, on their part – one of the most influential mobile software distributors in the same country.

BlackBerry is not the only platform we are focusing on as millions of people around the world own JAVA/J2ME based phones! And they also need to send messages in foreign languages. All AirTel clients interested in this unique and exclusive limited time offer can browse http://airtel.cellmania.com from their mobile phones, search for key word “translate” and get a year subscription free of charge.

Those who do not embrace this offer in time will need to pay a small subscription fee. If any difficulties with the cell’s internet settings, contact AirTel customer support service.

The Interecta Translator on Cellmania translates text typed on the phone’s screen and the output can be sent an SMS. To increase the functionality of the mobile translator, new languages have been added so now users can send messages in Africaans, Belorussian, Galilean, Yiddish, Irish, Icelandic, Macedonian, Malay, Farsi, Swahili, Tagalog, and Welsh (Cymraeg) among others.

Story about other mobile translators for AirTel users to be continued.

Interlecta is on App World!

This is not the news of course as it has been there for almost four months now. The news is that Interlecta Translator for BlackBerry can now be found in featured items on App World and in Top free on the same site.

Just have a look at featured items or go directly to http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/2009 and click the “get it today” button. Users can send a link to the email they use on their BlackBerry and follow the link to download or visit App World directly from their device and search for Interlecta.

Storm owners will have the chance to have Interlecta Translator on their devices within a few weeks time. The application is available for all other BlackBerry models so users can now freely communicate and “don’t have to miss out on conversations over Twitter, email, text” as one of our users say in a review.

Interlecta is integrated in the menus of the BlackBerry so just by choosing “translate” from options users can have incoming or outgoing SMS or email, or text they have typed themselves translated within seconds:

Up till now more than 85 000 BlackBerry users have the Interlecta Translator on their devices but it is important to know that the application has been released for “free download” for App World users only for a limited period of time. This means that users who download before the end of this period will enjoy using the application free of charge for a whole year. But, everyone who download after the end of the “free download” period will be charged a small subscription fee (per year).

And don’t hesitate to contact our Support if you need help or more information!

Thanks to the kind cooperation of Interlecta, the first public lecture of Mozilla in Bulgaria is to become a fact.

The lecture will range over the ground for development of the open source browser Firefox since the first browser Mosaic through Netscape, Phoenix till its present version and the browser’s upcoming fifth birthday.

The second and more interesting issue will dwell on the open web as Mozilla’s vision on this subject is fundamental about the Internet freedom and sharing, the adequate usage of the web, and the right to own one’s personal information and contents in the world wide web.

Several of Mozilla’s products will be presented in the third part of the lecture and it will be outlined how everyone can contribute to their development.

This new version of the translation add-on released July 24th 2009, includes some slight improvements and changes on the user interface and the code is released under GPLv2 license while the process of selecting the text and the translation itself remains the same. However, other changes include new utils class and activation, new namespace prototype in const.js and namespace wrapping which is now awaiting for approval from Mozilla.

Moztrans 0.1.8 works on Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey. Those who already have an older version of the translation add-on only need to search and install the newer version while the installation process for new users is the same as for the previous versions – the application will generate a specific string of numbers and letters by using browser specific data only and no personal information of the users. The generated code will be sent to our servers with just one click.

The new translation tool by Interlecta is already available in the online store for BlackBerry applications App World. The Text Translator was presented on App World on the July 23rd 2009 and has been downloaded by hundreds of BlackBerry users for the first several days only.

The new translator by Interlecta includes the functions of some of their previously developed BlackBerry products, namely Email Translator, SMS Translator and Text Translator released on other websites, and some new features. The latest product makes it easy for users to translate all their incoming and outgoing short text messages and emails, as well as texts on the BlackBerry’s screen.

The translation tool is currently available for BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Curve 8900 but we are preparing versions for the rest of BlackBerry’s models.

A new lighter interface and functions built in the menus of the phone make the new translator easy to use and according to feedback from users, quite time and effort saving. Travelers and business people can easily lead their communication and enjoy high quality of the result any time and from every spot in the world as long as they have an active internet connection.

The development team are working on more innovative features which will become public in the near future. For direct download point your BlackBerry browser to: Interlecta Text Translator
