Global Mapper Now Available in Nine Languages
French Version Adds to Growing International Reach
October 25, 2016 — Blue Marble Geographics has announced the release of a French-language edition of Global Mapper, increasing the total number of supported languages to nine. Through collaboration with a global network of regional partners, Global Mapper is now offered in French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Spanish, and Turkish, in addition to the original English version.
The multilingual expansion reflects Blue Marble’s continued commitment to serving an increasingly international GIS community.
Longstanding GIS Solution with Broad Industry Adoption
For more than twenty years, Blue Marble’s GIS software has been widely adopted across industries and sectors worldwide. Global Mapper users represent diverse fields including oil and gas, mining, civil engineering, surveying, software development, and technology, as well as government agencies and academic institutions.
Recognized as a cost-effective yet fully featured alternative to traditional GIS platforms, Global Mapper has built a strong reputation within the geospatial industry. Successive releases have introduced expanded analytical tools, improved data processing capabilities, and enhanced performance. The software’s ability to support a wide range of spatial data formats, combined with advanced LiDAR and 3D processing tools, has contributed to its global appeal.
Localized Interface and Documentation
Each non-English edition of Global Mapper includes fully translated menus, dialog boxes, and interface components. In addition to the user interface, comprehensive help files and documentation have also been localized to ensure consistency and usability for native-language users.
According to Blue Marble President Patrick Cunningham, the company recognizes that productivity improves when GIS professionals can work in their primary language. While many international users have historically operated English-language software, localized versions reduce barriers and streamline workflows. Blue Marble plans to continue working with its partners to introduce additional language options in the future.
Access and Licensing
Localized versions of Global Mapper are available for download via the Blue Marble website. Licensing information can be obtained through regional resellers or by contacting the company’s sales support team directly.
