Collaborate in 43 languages – Announcing Cyn.in v3.1

January 11, 2010

I am excited to announce version 3.1 of Cyn.in, our flagship collaboration software. This release focuses on providing multi-lingual (i18n) capabilities across the Cyn.in web interface. Cyn.in v3.1 includes an out-of-the-box support for 43 languages. Newly supported languages include German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi and Chinese among many others. See the detailed list below.

Cyn.in now lets users quickly switch to, and set their preferred language using the nifty language selector. Cyn.in will also auto set your language if you have set a default content language in your web browser. This should prove to be valuable for enterprise deployment scenarios with large and diverse userbases. The language selector displays the name of the language in English and the native language, making the identification of the desired language easy for non English users.

Businesses are exploring newer geographies more than ever before, and teams are needed to collaborate across geographic, cultural and linguistic boundaries. The new i18n capabilities in Cyn.in will facilitate multinational enterprises to connect teams across the globe seamlessly.

Cyn.in is now available in the following languages

Other Highlights of the v3.1 release:

  • Cyn.in v3.1 now is based on the latest stable release of Plone - v3.3.2.

  • Works better with IE8 - Compatibility mode now enables proper functioning of Javascript and the main application tabs

  • Smart Collection Criteria Editing now works without any constraints. All broken Javascript / HTML errors have been fixed

  • Smooth Upgrade - Catalog rebuilding had errors due to which the internal search would have to be rebuilt after an upgrade. This has been fixed.

  • Pure LAN based installation enabled - active Internet connection is NOT required to install from ISO CD any more.

I'd like to thank our amazing community for contributing towards the translation. Some of the new languages have been translated via the Google Translate API, so validity might be a imprecise.
