The Concept

It is the first and only computer-aide translation (CAT) tool that is fashioned and developed entirely on open standardsl language technology:

  • usage of XML Localisation Interchange File Format (XLIFF) as default file format

  • usage of TMX (Translation Memory eXchange v1.4 and below), in translation memory database

  • usage of SRX (Segmentation Rules eXchange v1.1 and below) for segmentation of filesusage

  • usage of TBX (TermBase eXchange) in terminology database

  • usage of UTF-8 (Unicode) for text encoding

  • usage of ISO 639 for language codes and ISO 3166 for country codes

Main Features

  • File Management Features: designed to provide versatility in compatibility with other products

    • multiple translation memory and terms search and retrieval options: instantaneous search through existing databases; search by selected term, phrase or sentence: activation done automatically or manually; exact match search and retrieval that works very much like personalised machine translation; fuzzy concordance search in locating the most remotely match results, etc.; ensuring effective reuse of translation memory and terms databases throughout translation process

    • reviewing of translations done in 2-column bilingual HTML format or 5-segment context display

    • built-in quality assurance options that can be manually activated or be switched to run automatically on each activation of translation approving option
