FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUGUST 18, 2005

Los Angeles/Miami: "The Kitchen", the only international language "hub" powered by the Emmy® Award Winning TM SYSTEMS™ software technology, offering language transcription, translation, dubbing, subtitling, closed captioning and traffic services, has responded to the industry's need to elevate the process in which foreign programming is readied for international distribution.

Utilizing its global network of TM SYSTEMSâ„¢ equipped dubbing and subtitling "partners", in territory, the language "hub" offers services to and from any language and with any character set, guaranteeing "matched" language versions, in any format, dubbed or subtitled, for the first time in industry history.

With Spanish telenovelas in demand in French-speaking South African countries; to the dubbing of many, major '60's and '70's television series in every language; to the creation of voices, sounds and graphics for video game releases in all languages; the recent TM SYSTEMSâ„¢ acquisition of "The Kitchen" has proven to be a solid one for the respected language localization software developer.

Utilizing "The Kitchen" facilities (East and West), masters are digitized, and secured in vaults. There are no more videotapes, no more shipping costs and no more customs delays. A template is created in the original language version, time codes and character names are automatically inserted and files are encrypted and securely sent over FTP sites to approved TM SYSTEMSâ„¢ dubbing and subtitling vendors in territory. The results offer a more efficient and consistent product overall.

TM SYSTEMSâ„¢ offers the industry's only "end to end" language localization solution.
