FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


GlobalVision International Announces GlobalVision Japan

Hudson, MA, April 17, 1998 - GlobalVision International, Inc. officially announced today the beginning of its operations in Japan, with the forming of GlobalVision Japan in Yokohama, Japan.

"Japanese has quickly become a cornerstone in the localization business due to the large Japanese market and the end-users' hunger for Internet pages and software applications in their native tongue", said Nabil Freij, President of GlobalVision International. "Our U.S. based customers continue to demand timely Japanese localization services and welcome our new addition with open arms."


"We hit the road running" said Chie Sasaki, General Manager of GlobalVision Japan. "Since the first day we started looking into opening GlobalVision in Japan, we have been approached by business associates and new prospects, throwing at us more business than we ever imagined. With the latest technology oriented localization process and great people, we are unstoppable!"


GlobalVision International is strategically targeting geographical areas around the world for new offices. With its current offices in the US, Japan, Europe and the Near East, the company can effectively handle not only Latin based languages but also other key languages with double-byte or bi-directional requirements.
