Adding to its list of multi language support, the Bitrix Site Manager is now available in German and French languages too

Bitrix Inc., Erne Consulting AG, and Stark-iT have collaboratively released the German and French language versions of the Bitrix Site Manager. The versions are available immediately as the full German pack and the French pack for the Professional Edition of the Site Manager.

Erne Consulting AG, a premium customer, is one of the leading developers of software solutions for the healthcare vertical. After evaluating a wide range of content management systems, the Erne Consulting AG team chose Bitrix Site Manager as a platform for their own portal. However, at that time, the solution was not available in German and French, the native language of the company’s employees. In spite of this hindrance, Erne Consulting still decided to deploy the highly robust and scalable Bitrix Site Manager.
