OpenEdge Reference Architecture (OERA)
OpenEdge Reference Architecture (OERA) defines the general functional categories of components that comprise an application. It can be used as a high-level blueprint for developing OpenEdge service-oriented business applications. The purpose of the Reference Architecture is not to complicate your life as a business software designer and developer, but to simplify it.

Application Modernization
Application Modernization provides a roadmap and the technologies needed to modernize and transform your OpenEdge applications. We can help you to re‐engineer your OpenEdge application to fit a new business process, integrate it with others from a recent acquisition, or rapidly expand its capacity to handle more transactions, more users, and more data. Application Modernization can help you turn your systems into modern and agile business applications and processes while avoiding costly and risky rip and replace alternatives.
Translation Manager
Simplify the Translation Process from End-to-End
Conducting business in different countries means that your mission-critical applications must be able to support local business practices in their native languages. Progress OpenEdge® Translation Manager™ improves the localization process so that high-quality multilingual versions of their applications can be more efficiently created and delivered.
Progress® OpenEdge® Translation Manager™ provides tools that cover the complete translation process. There are tools for preparing and delivering files, translating the application objects themselves, and integrating the applications back into the original source code to provide a high-quality multilingual application.
Translation Manager addresses the major challenge of localizing applications, that is, the delivery of translated versions with the same robustness, usability, portability, and scalability regardless of the language in which it was first developed. In addition, it improves accuracy, expense, time-to-market, and maintenance associated with multiple versions. The Translation Manager and its companion Visual Translator enable localization of an application without modifying source code and while keeping the user interface in context.
In today’s global business environment, development of multilingual applications is a critical requirement for many types of applications. OpenEdge® Translation Manager and Visual Translator streamline the translation process so that organizations can:
- Deliver localized versions with the same robustness, usability, portability, and scalability as the original version of the application
- Increase translation speed and accuracy with an environment that lets translators visualize the objects they are translating in the same context the users see them
- Standardize translations for increased usability through built-in and custom glossaries
Translation Manager's features include:
- Incorporation of Microsoft Language Glossaries as well as custom glossaries
- Ability to send a kit to the translator that includes phrases in the original language, an approved glossary, resource procedures, and visual files
- Review, report and merging capabilities
- Two workflow choices: screen-by-screen “visual mode” or phrase-by-phrase in “edit mode” without having to run the application
- An intuitive spreadsheet-like editable browser that launches global translations against text phrases to minimize translation efforts
- Tools that simplify packaging and deliver the completed translation
- Support for all business languages, and any combination of languages as source and target
