Vancouver, B.C. February 17, 2006 Safe Software Inc., the world's
leading supplier of interoperability tools for exchanging spatial
data, today announced the immediate availability of a French
localization add-on for their core product, the Feature Manipulation
Engine (FME). The French localization was prepared by Veremes, one of
Safe Software's resellers based in France, and is the second
localization of FME to be completed. A German localization, prepared
by con terra, has been available for over a year.
Customers from around the world rely on FME as their spatial data
translation and transformation platform, and Safe Software expects
there will be significant demand for the French localization of FME.
The localization, which is distributed separately from FME, is
available as an FME add-on from Veremes and Safe Software's reseller
network in French-speaking countries.
"Our decision to localize FME was the result of widespread demand from
French-speaking customers for software and documentation in their own
language," said Olivier Gayte, Director of Veremes. "Producing a
French localization required considerable effort, but the rewards will
be tremendous as FME will now be able to assist a wider range of
French-speaking FME users without any need for language translation."
"We are pleased to have strategic partners such as Veremes who are
willing to invest resources to provide multi-language support for our
products," said Don Murray, President of Safe Software. "The fact that
FME has now been translated into several different languages is
critical to bringing FME to organizations around the world."

More about FME
FME is an integrated collection of Spatial ETL (Extract, Transform,
and Load) tools for the distribution of location-based data. FME
