Localization Templates™

Multilizer® Localization templates™ is a user-friendly way of extending Multilizer 2007 support for file formats.

While Multilizer scanners (and scanner plugins) just give a support for file formats, a localization template contains the rules on how to use the scanner.

Localization templates are used by choosing File->New from template...

There are localization templates for following formats:

• INI files localization
• Key files localization
• Properties files; another way of localizing .properties files
• Static website
• Dynamic website
• SVG (scalable vector graphic) files
• etc.
