New Features

  • Blazing Fast Translation
    • Since launching the Lingotek Collaborative Translation Platform in 2006, our user base as doubled several times over
    • This has necessitated various improvements to our underlying architecture, in order to meet the ever-growing demand of translation needs for the thousands of enterprises, non-profits, government agencies, professional linguists, and freelance translators that use our platform
    • Today's release marks a multi-month engineering effort in which we've completely restructured how document data is stored and retrieved within our platform
    • What this means for you is a much faster and more scalable Lingotek experience
    • You will see much improved performance throughout the entire platform, most notably when using the Lingotek Workbenches
    • In addition, this restructure also sets the foundation for additional performance enhancements in the future
  • Dashboard Improvements
    • Projects can now be shared with all project managers in a community, simplifying the process for tracking and administering projects
    • New default workflows have been added to speed up project creation
    • The Projects page has been simplified by combining all the tables (Active, All Projects and Completed) into one, with filters allowing for customization. Projects can also be marked complete on the Projects page
  • Workbench Improvements
    • Translators can now view how many unapplied format tags they have left to apply to a document from right within the workbench; thus allowing a translator to quickly recognize and apply all of the required formatting tags before completing an assigned task
  • Platform Improvements
    • Exact TM matches now require capitalization, punctuation, and white spaces to exactly match in addition to words and word order
    • We've added several new APIs to enhance the functionality for our various app partners and CMS integrations
    • Added SRX support for MSOffice and text formats under "Advanced" importer options for these formats
    • Improved handling for <ph> tags
    • Introduced better error handling for responses from MT APIs
  • Community Administration Improvements
    • Community administrators can now customize the "From" address used to send system and workflow email notifcations

Bug Fixes

  • Document progress is not affected when making changes on the document-level Workflow tab
  • Format Tags column now displays N/A when the document has no targets
  • Dashboard and Workbenches capable of downloading Original and PDF formats of Source or Target document
  • Google MT functionality is working across the platform (when enabled)
  • Microsoft MT now handles large files
  • Decreased load times across the platform including logging in to the Dashboard, opening projects and loading the Workbenches
