Globalyzer consists of a Globalyzer Server and Globalyzer Clients.
Contents
Globalyzer Server
The Globalyzer Server manages user accounts and rule sets. Lingoport provides a (hosted) Globalyzer Server at www.globalyzer.com. Alternatively, companies can purchase and install their own (enterprise) Globalyzer Server to run on their site. To access a server, you must already have an account; simply browse to the server URL (either our hosted server or your enterprise server) and log in with your account credentials.
Globalyzer Client
The Globalyzer Client manages projects and scans, accessing the rule sets on the Globalyzer Server to execute the scans, resulting in internationalization issues. The Globalyzer Client comes in several flavors and is downloaded by each individual user. To download a Client, login to the Server, scroll to the bottom of your home page, and click on the download the Globalyzer Client here link. This displays the Client Download page with several Globalyzer Client options, detailed below.
Globalyzer Client: The Workbench
The Globalyzer Workbench is a standalone development environment designed for i18n work. This can include refactoring code for the purpose of fixing i18n issues, externalizing embedded strings, and refining rule sets for detecting i18n issues. It is well suited for i18n experts. Globalyzer Workbench is a full Eclipse-based i18n IDE which may not be appropriate for non-i18n specialists.
To download, select the appropriate jar file for your OS platform from the Client Download page.
Globalyzer Client: Lite
Globalyzer Lite forgoes the interactivity of Globalyzer Workbench. Instead, it focuses on being lightweight, fast, parallelizable, and friendly towards typical developers. All configuration necessary for running multiple project scans with Globalyzer Lite is contained within Project Definition files, which can be distributed to an entire team. Globalyzer Lite can be run from IDEs with the click of a button and has been tested with Visual Studio, Eclipse, and Intellij IDEA.
To download, select the globalyzer-lite.zip file from the Client Download page, unzip, and follow instructions in the README.
Globalyzer Client: Command Line Interface
Globalyzer Client: Maven Plugin
When using a MVN project, you can add code scanning with Globalyzer using our MVN plugin. It is well suited for use within automation routines and Continuous Integration (CI) systems as well as within a typical developer environment, for instance within Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).
The Globalyzer MVN plugin generates scan reports to a directory specified in the pom.xml file. Scan reports are available in a variety of formats. We ask our MVN customers to install the MVN plugin in a private MVN repository for that company.
To download the Globalyzer Maven Plugin, select the globalyzer-maven-plugin.jar file from the Client Download page. Please visit the MVN Plugin for more information.
Globalyzer Client: API
The Globalyzer API allows you to create Globalyzer projects and scans, execute scans, and generate reports from a Java program. Globalyzer Lite makes use of the API, and most users prefer using Lite instead of writing their own Java program.
Note: Not all Globalyzer functionality is available from the Globalyzer API; you will still need the Globalyzer Workbench to create customized projects and scans (the API relies on defaults, though the rule sets can be customized), and the Workbench is required for string externalization.
To access the API using an in-memory database, download and install Lite, then follow the instructions here to get started on your Java program. To access the API using a physical database, download and install the Workbench, then follow the instructions here to get started on your Java program.
