New Features

• Pseudo Localization Tool
  • Before translating a single word, save time and money on your translation projects by pseudo-translating your documents using Lingotek's new pseudo localization tool
  • The tool allows project managers to quickly produce pseudo-localized text by selecting from a myriad of pre-defined character sets for each language or by entering your own custom characters
  • It can also be used to mimic text expansion or contraction due to translation, choose marker characters for denoting the beginning and end of pseudo-localized text to expose truncated strings in your UI, and identify variables or other text to preserve via an easy-to-use interface
  • You can switch to advance mode to write a regular expression for preserving text and variables
• Dashboard Improvements
  • Integrated with SAIC's Omnifluent machine translation application (previously known as TranSphere by AppTek) allowing for enabling the MT engine to prefill or "paste" MT results into segments (premise only)
  • Community administrators can set TM vault default for new project creation in regard to enabling/disabling public TM vault searching
  • Community administrators can set TM vault default for new project creation in regard to specifying to which TM vault translations should save
  • Administer Communities page now has paging (premise only)
  • Administer Communities page now has search capabilities (premise only)
  • System administrators can now grant credentials when creating a system user (premise only)
  • Community administrators can now grant credentials when creating a community user
  • Deprecated setting for not locking segments which reach the "accept segment threshold" within a community translation phase
• Report Improvements
  • Translator Statistics Report - new report enables both community administrators and project managers to track words translated and words completed (i.e. through all review phases) for a given date range grouped by translator, language pair, project or document. The results can be filtered, sorted and exported to Excel or CSV for further analysis or to create email lists
• Workbench Improvements (New & Classic)
  • Integrated with SAIC's Omnifluent machine translation application (previously known as TranSphere by AppTek) allowing for enabling the MT engine as a translator resource (premise only)
  • Restores translators' preferred font size from previous session for both source and target text
