I had the pleasure of hearing from long time LiveCoder, Larry Walker, in regards to his recent successes with LiveCode. This is his story.

Increase your app downloads and revenue by including the ability to localize your app into any language. Work with Arabic, Chinese or Japanese in your app just as easily as English.
