MOTIONPOINT'S TRANSMOTION™ TECHNOLOGY HELPS CULTURAL HUB SERVE ITS SPANISH-SPEAKING AUDIENCES

COCONUT CREEK, FL (March 15, 2005) — MotionPoint Corporation announced today that The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center has launched Spanish versions of the TBPAC, Patel Conservatory and Opera Tampa websites using MotionPoint's exciting new TransMotion™ Technology. The new websites provide easier access to cultural information for the growing Spanish-speaking audiences of the Tampa Bay area.

After accessing www.tbpac.org, www.patelconservatory.org or www.operatampa.org, users can now click an "en Español" link that will take them directly to a Spanish version of the sites. The three websites contain more than 950 pages, and are updated on a regular basis.

By combining best-of-class professional human translations with proprietary software tools that remove any client IT development and technical integration, MotionPoint was able to launch the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center Spanish websites in less than 60 days. Additionally, there are no ongoing maintenance headaches because MotionPoint's proprietary tools dynamically keep the Spanish sites in sync with their English counterparts (including text, translatable images, alt tags, meta tags, etc.). The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center staff continues to do what they always do (monitor and update the English-language sites as usual), and MotionPoint maintains the Spanish version of the sites.

"We were pleased that The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center chose MotionPoint to translate its websites," said Will Fleming, chief executive officer of MotionPoint. "They have focused on increasing the amount of Latin programming at The Center, so we were in a strong position to help them get their Spanish-language websites up and running quickly and efficiently."

The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center will present five concerts as part of Arte 2005 – Tampa Bay's Festival of the Americas.
