Chaoyang, Beijing, China (pr4links.com) 17/06/2011
CSOFT International Ltd., a leading provider of multilingual localization, testing, and software development services ( http://www.csoftintl.com/solutions_development.php ) for the global market, announced today the addition of TermWiki.com’s pronunciation feature, which provides users with the ability to hear term pronunciations in twenty different languages, including major world languages such as English, Mandarin Chinese, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Japanese. All pronunciations are accessible for free to registered users.

“Providing a comprehensive database of pronunciation across languages is an integral part of TermWiki’s function as a learning platform,” says Shunee Yee, CEO and President of CSOFT. “As the world’s first social learning network, TermWiki’s long-term goal is to produce a comprehensive database of every term in the world, including their definitions and translations in multiple languages. This latest pronunciation feature will allow users (students and professionals alike) to be able to properly speak a foreign language or learn how to say technical terms in a variety of fields, such as medicine and geography, all within one integrated environment.”

Driven by the expertise of loyal users from around the world, TermWiki.com is the world’s fastest growing global social learning network with over 1.3 million terms in more than 1,200 domains and 75 languages. It is both a wiki-based encyclopedia of terms, definitions and translations, as well as a social network for people from all walks of life—including linguists, students, researchers, professionals—to connect and share knowledge. TermWiki.com aims to combine the encyclopedic functions of Wikipedia and the social networking features of Facebook to create a new type of knowledge-oriented platform where users can learn, discover and connect with friends from around the world with similar interests and backgrounds.

“TermWiki’s new pronunciation feature is only the first step in our overall development plan,” says Carl Yao, Executive Vice President for Global Strategy at CSOFT. “We are currently working on a feature that will allow each user to record the pronunciation of terms in any and all languages to make TermWiki.com the first site in the world that will give people access to terms spoken in real human voices. We truly believe that the pronunciation feature will enable members of the TermWiki community to become better learners, translators, and speakers of their chosen languages and professions.”

With users now able to readily access and learn the pronunciation of different terms in twenty languages and over a thousand fields, TermWiki is yet again breaking new grounds in both terminology management and social learning. In time, TermWiki’s pronunciation function will soon expand to include all major languages around the world.

Interested users can visit TermWiki.com for more information and to create a free account. The site’s hassle-free registration takes less than two minutes, after which users will have access to all terms, features and functions. Don’t forget to check out the TermWiki Forum and AnswerBea for access to real-time discussion and the site’s educational question-and-answer portal!
