Beijing, China  ----- CSOFT International Ltd., a leading provider of multilingual localization, testing, and software development services for the global market, announced today the addition of a powerful new feature to the free terminology management, dictionary reference, and translation portal, TermWiki.com. The new feature, called Term in the News, is aimed at bringing global news instantly to the attention of internet users worldwide.

?Term in the News is a fantastic addition to the TermWiki database,? said Shunee Yee, President and CEO of CSOFT International Ltd. ?It embodies everything that we strive for in our products and services: creativity, accessibility, and continuous progression. Furthermore, it has become a very dynamic component of the overall terminology management platform.?

TermWiki.com is a rapidly growing online terminology portal that allows users to search, upload, translate and share terms and definitions with other users around the globe. Peer edits and worldwide collaboration help foster a database of continuously growing and updated terminology, as well as term translations in over 100 languages. TermWiki?s status as one of the Top 10 Wikis worldwide is maintained by continuous advancements in usability and functionality that support the terminology, definition, and glossary development and translation process.

TermWiki?s Term in the News feature offers a wider perspective on terminology. By linking key terms to current events, users are able to categorize terms not only by industry, product, and language, but also by use of specific terms in a day-to-day context. The Term in the News feature instantly delivers a diverse set of news articles, ranging from highly industry-specific news to unusual current events. Aside from a term and definition, the feature also provides relevant images and videos, which are posted alongside a given term, enhancing contextual relevance of newsworthy terminology and improving overall user experience.

To boost the ubiquity of news-related terms, CSOFT is currently hosting a contest on TermWiki.com in which all internet users, including writers, translators, journalists and linguists worldwide, can win a $50 Amazon Gift Voucher for submitting topical, viral terminology in the news.
