Alchemy Layout Manager™ - the new generation of localization intelligence

Alchemy Layout Manager™ is award winning, state-of-the-art enterprise software that combines the power and flexibility of Alchemy CATALYST with a robust solution for improving the productivity of localization engineers. It automatically creates localized layouts for software applications ensuring that simultaneous availability of translated applications is a certainty.

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, it is essential that your localization workflow keeps up with client demands while staying within budget. Your clients demand simultaneous availability of localized software products to remain productive. Your localization workflow needs to scale in order to meet this demand. Hindered product availability can weaken your competitive edge, erode client loyalty and cost your company short- and long-term revenue.


Integrated with the market leader in visual localization technology, Alchemy CATALYST, Alchemy Layout Manager™ reduces engineering cycle times, improving time-to-market and reducing localization costs. This helps you reach international markets faster and create new revenue opportunities for your organization.

Embrace a new level of productivity for localization engineers


Alchemy Layout Manager™ is a productivity application for localization engineers. By analyzing the layout of application user interfaces, it creates new layouts for localized applications. These computer generated layouts require less testing and less engineering helping to reduce project cycle times. This ensure that applications are released to international markets quicker.

Based on award winning and patented technology, generated layouts share the same spatial relationships of the original application, however are re-sized and re-shaped to accommodate translations. This unique technology ensures that generated layouts confirm to your corporate user interface guidelines and standards ensuring consistency of corporate image and branding worldwide.


Streamline your localization workflow


Alchemy Layout Manager™ is fast! In industry trials one thousand dialogs were fully analyzed and localized layouts were created in less than five minutes. Using manual methods a localization engineering would require four-five weeks to achieve a similar number of layouts.

Alchemy Layout Manager™ is accurate! Every generated layout is analyzed to ensure compliance with original application user interface. Any compliancy failures are tracked and reported to your localization engineers. This ensures that these can be manually inspected quickly and smoothly within your localization engineering process.

The accuracy and speed of Alchemy Layout Manager™ frees up your localization engineering resources so that more languages can be processed in considerably shorter project schedules.

It’s an essential boost to your localization productivity and creates significant competitive advantages for your organization!


Key Benefits


Huge Localization Costs Savings

Using Alchemy Layout Manager™ ensures that you never have to layout localized applications. This reduces the cost of localization engineering. Savings of 80-90% are possible depending on the design of your applications’ user interface.

Rapid return on investment

Organizations that have deployed Alchemy Layout Manager™ within their localization workflow have enjoyed savings on direct projects costs combined with significant productivity gains in engineering and testing. Coupled with faster release times to international markets, these benefits make a rapid return on investment a certainty. In a typical deployment, a return on investment can be achieved in three to six months or shorter.
