MDS Holdings, the sole Visor product line distributor for Central and Eastern Europe, has signed an agreement to order interface localization programs for all Handspring mobile computers for 12 European languages from Paragon Software. This will include FULL Handspring Visor interface translation so all menus, icons, and system alerts are translated to national language.

The lauguages are Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Turkish, and Ukranian.

The first group of languages are already completed. Paragon and MDS Holgings plan to start distribution of Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, and Turkish localization programs by the end of January. Starting from this time MDS Holdings will distribute all Handspring mobile computers in the above stated countries in bundles with PiLoc national language system. At the same time Paragon Software (MCD) will start on-line sales of the localization systems via on-line systems such as PalmGear.com.
