    Dear Seafood HACCP Mailing List,

    SSSP v. 2.0 in Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Danish, Dutch,
    English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Vietnamese is available
    free of charge at www.dfu.min.dk/micro/sssp/
    <http://www.dfu.min.dk/micro/sssp/> .

    The SSSP software predicts shelf-life and growth of bacteria in
    different fresh and lightly preserved seafoods. Previous versions of
    SSSP have been popular and they are used by more than 1200
    people/institutions from more than 50 countries.

    Globalization of the seafood sector has been progressing during many
    years and at the same time the need has increased for a multi-language
    tool to predict remaining shelf-life of fish raw materials and final
    products in different countries. SSSP v. 2.0 represents such a tool and
    it has been developed by combining the experience in predictive
    microbiology/software development at the Danish Institute for Fisheries
    Research and translations provided by various users of SSSP v. 1.0.
    Translation of SSSP has been facilitated by a dedicated software module
    that, based on input from translators, creates the specific XML-language
    files needed for SSSP v. 2.0 to operate in different languages. This
    SSSP-Language-Translation-module remains available for the development
    of new language versions of SSSP.

    The SSSP-download site now is also available in several languages. Thus
    SSSP v. 2.0 can be downloaded and operated in e.g. Spanish and Chinese
    even by users that do not speak any English at all. In addition, a forum
    for discussions about SSSP has been created. The forum allows
    information to be exchanged between users of SSSP - including exchange
    of information in specific languages.

    I hope SSSP v. 2.0 will be useful to many with interest in seafood
    quality and predictive microbiology.

     

    With best regards
