This report describes an examination project made for the IT consultingcompany Sogeti. The purpose of the project was to develop and modify the translation tool Language Manager (LM) built by Sogeti to be used for translating applications. Employees at Sogeti considered some disadvantages with Language Manager, version 1.0 which among others was that language files for projects were saved at two locations. Partly in resource maps among with the source code of the applications and partly in a database. This was dual work for employees at Sogeti and it also caused redundancy inthe system. Also employees at Sogeti thought that the managing of projects and versioning did not adapt to how the system was needed to be used.The destination by the examination project was to remove the database and only use XML-files to handle languages, and also to make the new Language Manager easier to work with. New users should easily understand how to handle terms and translation in the new application and no manual should be needed to perform tasks. Language Manager version 2.0 should be written in C# .Net Framework 4.5 and the graphical user interface should be created with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Sogeti wished for the Model-View-ViewModel pattern (MVVM) to be implemented. The new tool was supposed to be robust and simple with a future-safe architecture.
