Defense Language Institute Selects Transparent Language Software for All Students and Faculty

DLI, the premier language school for the U.S. military, awards contract for Transparent Language's CL-150 Technology Matrix for Critical Languages

Nashua, NH August 8, 2006 - Transparent Language, Inc. announced today that the company has been awarded a contract from the Defense Language Institute for a community-wide license of its CL-150 Technology Matrix for Critical Languages product.

The CL-150 Technology Matrix for Critical Languages is a comprehensive suite of software applications and content designed to support language teaching and learning in a variety of settings, from classroom use to fully independent learning.

Prior to this award, Transparent Language software was already being used on DLI's main campus in Monterey, California by a number of Defense Language Institute component and affiliated organizations, such as the Emerging Languages Task Force, the Navy's Center for Information Dominance Detachment, and Defense Threat Reduction Agency. The new CL-150 Community License announced today expands the availability of the CL-150 at DLI to the maximum extent possible, providing all DLI students, instructors, and base personnel with unlimited access to all CL-150 software applications and content.

"DLI is a recognized leader in re-engineering the way languages are being taught and learned in our digital, connected world," said Mike Quinlan, CEO of Transparent Language. "We're honored to be a part of that effort, and especially pleased that the license coverage is so comprehensive, with every DLI school, level, and language being included."

About Transparent Language, Inc.

America plays a prominent role in world affairs, and yet our longstanding English-centricity has left us weaker than we should be in our ability to communicate globally. At Transparent Language, we attempt to correct this problem by developing language-learning resources and systems that deliver more rapid, reliable, and engaging language learning to those who need language skills for work or school, as well as those who simply find joy in learning and using other languages. Each day we use our expertise in the research and practice of language learning to build programs that are licensed for use by all personnel of Foreign Service Institute, Defense Language Institute, US Special Operations Command, US Marine Corps, US Navy, and many other government organizations, as well as by thousands of schools, hundreds of public libraries, and millions of individual users.
