Nashua, N.H., October 29, 2009 - Transparent Language, Inc. announced today that the United States Army has licensed Transparent's CL-150 Technology Matrix for Critical Languages for use by all its Foreign Area Officers. The CL-150 is an extensive suite of software applications and content for language learning.

"Transparent Language focuses on using technology to get the greatest result from the time someone spends learning a language," said Mike Quinlan, CEO of Transparent Language. "In the consumer space, it's often about selling the dream, but in the government sector it's about real-world proficiency. That's a good fit for us, and we are very excited about this opportunity to be of service."

The CL-150 Technology Matrix for Critical Language is licensed enterprise-wide by a growing number of US government organizations that consider language and culture proficiency critical to their mission.
