What's New in Tally 8.1?    

   

Introduction   

We must not,” he said, “develop a specific language version of Tally.  No one should be required to take a decision which ‘language’ he or she wants to buy.  They should be able to use it in any language, at any time.  We must understand that different people in their office will have different language preferences. Each should be able to work on the same data in the language of their choice.  Each business has multitude of customers.  Each customer should be able to get their information in their preferred language.  There can be NO compromise.”

Out of such passion and vision was Tally 8.1 born. Tally 8.1 is a tribute to our late Founder Chairman, Sri S. S. Goenka.  It is indeed a product of his clear understanding of people’s real needs driven by his desire to see businesses in every district in India benefit from Tally.  His unwillingness to compromise his beliefs has led to many innovations in the past. “Are we writing programs to make the life of the USER easier, or the life of the PROGRAMMER easier?”  This question, now often repeated in our environment, was first asked by Sri S S Goenka.

It has taken several years to reach a point where we could solve the Multi Lingual problem as defined by him.  “Mimic the human train of thought”, “Mimic the human way of working” – have been continuous challenges imposed on the rigor of our software design.  In this version, a major technological breakthrough has manifested in the ability to use languages concurrently in the way people actually work.  Most of us are multi-lingual by our upbringing.  We switch our languages to suit the audience.  We understand several languages, speak many of them, and read/write a few.  Yet, this combination is different for each of us depending on our birth, our family, our schooling, the places we grew up in, our friends, our workplace etc.

As always, this product too is a direct outcome of the blessings and inspiration of the Late Sri. T. D. Goenka, and Sri S. S. Goenka.  We proudly present the result of our efforts, and fully believe that it is because of their spiritual guidance that we have been able to reach this goal.  In the days ahead, we will add some greater capability, and expand the range of language interaction – including the ability for you to change the terminology to suit your taste!

We hope you will enjoy the product, and join us in thanking the visionary who had known that only such a multi-lingual product can be truly usable.
