        Integration of SDL Language Technologies and SDL Language Weaver 
 
SDL plc announces today that the SDL Language Technologies and SDL Language 
Weaver businesses (Language Weaver Inc is the machine translation technology 
business acquired by SDL in July of this year) will be combined and run as one 
integrated global business called   SDL Language Technologies. Mark Tapling, 
currently CEO Language Weaver, will become the CEO of the new Language 
Technologies division.  Alan Sloan, currently CEO Language Technologies, will be 
leaving SDL to pursue other opportunities. 
 
Prior to Language Weaver, Tapling was CEO of InfoGenesis, Everypath Inc, and 
ServiceWare Technologies (NASDAQ:SVCW). Mark comes with a wealth of experience 
in high technology business innovation and management. 
 
The addition of the Language Weaver Technology, considered to be the leading 
machine translation technology in the world, combined with SDL's existing 
Language Technologies will take our Global Information Management  technology 
portfolio to a new level, providing our customers and partners with a solid 
platform to create and maintain global content. 
 
Commenting on the announcement Mark Lancaster said, 
 
"We are delighted to have Mark Tapling lead the Language Technologies division. 
The integration of machine translation into the human translation process is 
crucial. We consider that within 5 years more than 50% of all translated content 
will use machine translation as part of the translation process. We are 
dedicated to investing in language management technology in order to provide the 
platform for companies to deliver global content fast and cost effectively for 
all content across their business."
