Smart Meeting Pro Expands Language Support
9/22/2008
Smart Technologies has recently added seven new languages to its Smart Meeting Pro collaboration software, intended to address the needs of a growing global customer base.
In addition to English, Smart's collaboration platform now operates in French, German, Spanish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese (both traditional and simplified). The addition of the new languages allows meeting participants and attendees to interact, collaborate, and save and share data in their native language, regardless of physical location, providing a more effective, and productive meeting environment.
Along with the new languages, other benefits of the Smart Meeting Pro system include an intuitive user interface; the ability to save work in a variety of file formats, including JPG, PDF, and Notebook; Integration with other Smart technologies, including interactive whiteboards and displays, as well as DVD players, computers, and document cameras; and the ability to run a variety of interactive equipment in up to 16 locations simultaneously.
