                     SDL plc releases full production of                      
                         SDLWebFlow ahead of schedule                         

                                                                             
As a result of continued investment and progress in Research & Development,
SDL plc ("SDL International" or "the Company"), one of the UK's leading
software and internet companies, has been able to bring forward the full
production release of "SDLWebFlow" to Wednesday 26th January 2000.  

SDL International will be demonstrating SDLWebFlow at the Multilingual Content
Management Conference it is hosting at the Ritz Hotel in London on 14th
February 2000.

SDLWebFlow is designed to allow clients to keep their multilingual web sites
synchronised with the content of the host language web site.

The key stages in the SDLWebFlow process are:

*       automatic detection of changes on the original site
*       alert system which notifies members of the localisation process, and  
        provides Status information as the project progresses
*       use of "Translation Memory" software to prepare files automatically   
        and ensure consistent re-use of previously translated content

This produces the following benefits for SDLWebFlow users:

*       enables the production and maintenance of complex, multilingual web   
        sites
*       reduces their systems development 'time-to-market'
*       substantial savings of cost and time

The Company expects to complete several significant contracts shortly relating
to SDLWebFlow and globalization services.

Commenting on the early full production release of SDLWebFlow, Mark Lancaster,
Chairman and Chief Executive of SDL International, said:

"As companies launch more products across foreign markets simultaneously,
international web sites are expanding and multilingual support becomes a
strong differentiator for them, SDLWebFlow meets the needs for an automated
solution, supported by professional management to handle the 'localisation'
issues involved. SDL International intends to meet the needs of its clients,
in all the world's languages, and across all forms of electronic
communication".
