Tasking says its XA Tool Suite V4.0 has enhanced easy/expert configuration modes that simplify the learning curve for novices, while offering low-level control for the more experienced.
For current customers this can lead to a reduced reliance on technical support.
For new customers it minimises learning time and costs as they can more easily explore Altium Designer's unified design environment in their native language.
These new features are in addition to the Unicode string support already included in Altium Designer, which allows foreign characters and symbols to be placed directly on schematic and PCB worksheets.
Local engineers from Altium's European office have been directly involved with the development of Altium Designer's enhanced German language support and it is anticipated that Altium's German-speaking customers will benefit from the high quality of the final result.
"Altium is committed to helping drive design innovation in the electronics development community".
"The German language capabilities in Altium Designer 6.3 have been developed exclusively for German-speaking electronics engineers to ensure they can explore the productivity-enhancing benefits that Altium Designer's unified electronics design environment delivers", said Frank Hoschar, Managing Director Sales and Support, Europe, Altium.
"Now German-speaking development engineers have even easier access to the opportunities provided by the 'soft' design methodology enabled by a unified design system, and can develop innovative products faster and more cost effectively than previously possible - opportunities that cannot be realised with conventional point tools and disparate design flows".
