Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, March 9, 2006 – MultiCorpora is very pleased to announce that its flagship software suite, MultiTrans 4, has been selected by the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Forces for the implementation of a large-scale defence terminology management system. MultiCorpora was awarded this substantial contract following an international competitive bid process. MultiTrans 4 will provide DND with a secure distributed terminology management capability, which will be integrated with a TextBase TM tool to facilitate DND terminology standardization in translated documents.

It is quite a reward for our team, which has invested years in research and development, to be selected by one of the most important Canadian institutions, which is so highly regarded internationally.”
