An online chat software written by a Turkish programmer was downloaded by 250,000 Internet users in 124 countries in 24 hours, Hürriyet daily reported on its website.
The software, named “MSP Messenger,” was written by software engineer Necmettin Özalp, who said the tremendous interest in the software shows the necessity for indigenous software programs.
MSP Messenger’s online translation feature has attracted users, the report said. People speaking different languages can chat with each other using MSP Messenger without needing any other software.
The translation feature was a first in the world, the report added.
MSP Messenger is being distributed as freeware, meaning no fees or payments are needed to download and use the software.
