Multi Language Text Support

Schools-On-I-Net Online School Management Software with Google Apps for Education now supports Unicode (or multi language text). Educators can email parents and students, enter assignments, lesson plans, grades, comments and more in virtually any world language.

Hebrew was the first language supported on SOIN to meet the needs of our many Jewish day schools.
In Januaray 2009, SOIN released a Unicode supported version of SOIN with supports Hebrew, Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, and more. (See below for information on Unicode)

This latest software release is just another way we show that SOIN is not just a school management system, it is a community oriented communications tool. We care about the people using our product and about their needs. To be able to teach and learn in the language of study, or to have discussions online in one’s own mother tongue makes a difference.

We are proud of this release which is available now at no additional charge to our schools.

Google Apps for Education also supports Unicode,  so using SOIN with Google Apps for EDU is seamless and now a bit more ‘global!’

What is Unicode?

Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language.”Google’s objective is to organize the world’s information and to make it accessible. Unicode plays a central role in this effort because it is the principal means by which content in every language can be represented in a form that can be processed by software. As Unicode extends its coverage of the world’s languages, it helps Google accomplish its mission.” -Vint Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist, Google, Inc.
