From Business Travel News

GetThere next quarter plans to launch its first double-byte language version of the online booking tool with a client in Korea. Double-byte is computerese for Asian-language character texts. In contrast, English character texts are in single-byte. GetThere senior vice president Chris Kroeger said the tool's first foray into double-byte enables it to adapt versions for other Asian points-of-sale. GetThere now offers site administration classes and training in foreign languages.
