Rubric Brings Camtasia to New Markets

Localization expert Rubric localizes Techsmith's popular Camtasia Studio for French speaking markets

London, Boston, San Jose — October 16, 2008 — Camtasia Studio, the world's favorite screen capture and video production tool, is now ready for French speaking regions thanks to localization work performed by Rubric.

"Techsmith and Camtasia are already popular in English, German, Korean and Japanese regions," said Stacey Hansen, International Marketing Manager with Techsmith. "Many regions around the world have native French speakers and thanks to the exceptional work done by Rubric they can now more intuitively create compelling videos."

"Camtasia is an example of how both technical and linguistic expertise is required to take software global," said Françoise Spurling, COO of Rubric. "The product is technically intricate, weaving video, audio and post production elements. Internally the challenges to localizing a complex software product like Camtasia require understanding of the underlying technology. It also requires a large staff of talented and knowledgeable native language translators to make complex concepts understandable."

Camtasia Studio 5.1 will be the first release of Camtasia in French.

"Business and education professionals use Camtasia to create online videos," said Hansen. "Camtaisa lets people speak to the world and Rubric helps Techsmith speak to the people."

"Rubric builds long term relationships with all our customers," said Ian Henderson, CEO of Rubric. "We also build localization and translation teams that we bring back to the same customer each time. This continuity lets Techsmith and other software companies bring their products to new markets quickly and with outstanding quality."
