SMT-Bank goes multilingual

SMT’s item banking and test generation software, SMT-Bank™, long recognized as one of most powerful and efficient systems in the field, has undergone a revision to support the growing international focus in certification. With more U.S.-based associations marketing certifications outside North America, there is a need to be able to efficiently maintain test items in multiple languages. SMT-Bank has long provided support for test items in multiple languages, but in our work in China, we were also required to support a Chinese interface (menu items, buttons, etc.).

As a result of successfully completing the China request, SMT-Bank can now be adapted to any language, including other sometimes-difficult “double-byte” languages like Japanese and Korean. The solution features a toggle that allows users to switch between English and the second language.
