Retail Decisions Rolls Out Multi-Language
Anti-Fraud Technology
June 16, 2011
Anti-fraud solutions provider Retail Decisions (ReD) said
its real-time fraud detection service for e-commerce, ReD Shield, now supports
virtually every language. The London-based company said its adoption of multi-byte/double
byte characters is significant news for online merchants particularly in Asia,
as Japanese, Chinese and Korean are now available language options. More than
half of all web pages use multi-byte/double byte, and it is the main character
encoding used internationally online. According to ReD, enabling multi-byte/double
byte internet communication is a hugely important tool in global e-commerce,
particularly for businesses looking to trade in regions using Oriental
languages. Whereas most non-Asian and Western European languages require less
than two bytes per character, Oriental languages usually require three bytes.
