Enable

Enable, developed by Enable Development LLP, is a robust tool designed specifically for PowerBuilder developers aiming to create multilingual applications. The latest version, 3.5, continues to uphold the program’s reputation for efficiency and ease of use. With support for Windows 7, this software fits seamlessly into existing workflows for those using this OS. Download the program files EnABLE.exe, Enable_7.0.0.70828.exe, and enable_author.exe to swiftly integrate multilingual capabilities into your applications.

As a member of the Business category and more specifically the Vertical-Market-Apps subcategory, Enable specializes in simplifying the process of upgrading monolingual PowerBuilder programs. Developers can quickly adapt their applications to support multiple languages with minimal changes to the original codebase. This tool stands out because, aside from the time needed for translations, it prepares software for distribution incredibly fast by generating a multilingual database (.ena) and a royalty-free Enable engine (various .dll and .pbd files).

Other available versions, such as 3.5, and 2.4, ensure that users have options based on their specific requirements and compatibility needs. Enable offers a free trial for users to evaluate its powerful features before committing to a purchase.

• Simplifies the process of converting monolingual applications to multilingual.
• Minimal code changes required.
• Quick preparation for distribution.
