This release contains several new features:

• Updating Leverage for Active Jobs - Translation jobs can now re-apply TMs.
• Internal Tag Configuration – 8.2 allows users to protect text within segments produced by the HTML, XML, Java Properties or Microsoft Office filters.
• Workflow Enhancements – Users can now complete multiple tasks with a single click.

“The GlobalSight product range is crucial for us to achieve and deliver totally open and on-demand localization solutions. We have a strong, talented product development team who work continually on GlobalSight to add functionality and features that will meet our clients’ evolving needs,” said Derek Coffey, Vice President of Technology & Professional Services at Welocalize.

There are also a number of smaller enhancements included in the new 8.2 release as well as a number of bug fixes. The development team at Welocalize has also expanded automated test coverage using Selenium.
