SDLXLIFF
Utilities

SDLXLIFF
Toolkit

a.
Simple tool that allows the user to change the segment status of an
sdlxliff(s) or an entire Project

i. So you say select all fuzzy matches that are confirmed and unconfirm
them, or select all 100% and CM matches and lock them… etc

ii. Or select all Approved and change to Translated etc.

iii. Or even better, take all segments above 85% match and lock them and
then take all unlocked and clear the translations….

b. Flexible enough to do anything with any of the available statuses or
matches that you feel like.

Library
Utilities

Regex
Manager

Application
to Import/Export regular expressions so that a library can be maintained and
shared for use between users.  This
would also encourage a place to share clever expressions in places where
regex can be used:

- display filter

- search windows

- embedded content processor

- QA Checks

- Regex filetype

- XPath expressions too

Would be good if this was capable of updating xml files in Studio that are
exposed so that automated import/export was possible.

Word List Manager

Application
to import/export word lists, trademark character lists etc. that are possible
to create in Studio but there is no mechanism for sharing, creating or
maintaining outside of Studio.

Apparrently
not possible… no api.  But this was
said of the Grammar Checker too and now a clever developer provided one!

Similar
to TTXit as a time saver

- convert source files to bilingual doc for processing in Studio

Filetype

Vanilla
XLIFF

Filetype
- many applications can provide a flavour of XLIFF that it limited to exactly
what is clear in the XLIFF spec.  It is
simplified but can be useful as an exchange format

Pending

Filetype

memoQ
XLIFF

Filetype
- the memoQ flavour of vanilla xliff.
It does contain custrom extensions and they use the standard in a
different way to us so interchange could be better.

TXML

Filetype
- Wordfast bilingual.  We can handle
now by copying source to target and translating the target as a custom xml
file.  This has limitations so a proper
bilingual version of this filetype.

This
is complete and could be released through the OX any time. I have got
approval from Wordfast for the use of their logo on the app and testing so
far has proven very successful.

011

Filetype

Transit
Packages

Filetype
- many users still receive Transit package but dislike working in this
environment.  memoQ offers a builtin
converter that will open the package and allow users to translate the files
in memoQ and then create a return package.
We should do the same thing.

completed the filetype.  But still not
released as we have no Package API and it's too clumsy to work with at
present.

Misc.

SDL
Shareit

Social
Media integration

- tweets triggered by daily work

- facebook posts triggered by daily work

I'm sure with some imagination we could find ways to trigger posts as you
work… good and bad… that would make this a desirable app for many users.  Might even tie into other initiatives where
we can be proactive as a result in supporting customers... worth thinking
about.

SDLXLIFF
Utilities

SDLXLIFF

Custom
sdlxliff exports

- we have FOU exports... would be good to define other criteria for
creating sdlxliff files that could be worked on and then imported back

- locking or setting specific segment statuses when you do

XLIFF
Converter mapping tool

status, comments etc.

- the sdlxliff can then be more accurately translated in another tool and
brought back

The
new XLIFF filter for SP3 is quite capable of allowing this so there may not
be a need to develop the app now…

Costas
actually took this a step further and added many capabilites to this to allow
export to XLIFF for incorporating in Studio as a Project.  From here the TM can be QA'd, exported to
Word etc.  The lastest version curently
in Beta allows features for cleaning the TM so it is perfect for use in
Training BeGlobal.

025

Misc.

Error
Message Translation Tool

Take
the Studio xml error file, or other reported error and provide a more
understandable explanation for the error

Slight twist on this and take the same messages and provide some funny
explanations (Take "Exception has been thrown by the target of an
invocation" or similar and you'll get the idea ;-))

SDLXLIFF
Utilities

SDLXLIFF
Merge

An
application to merge SDLXLIFF files in a Project where the project has been
created without merging the files first.
This way the merged SDLXLIFF can be brought into the Project as well,
translated/reviewed etc. and then the original files pretranslated against
the Project TM.

Pending

No
longer needed because of the virtual merge feature in Studio 2014

AutoSuggest

Custom
AutoSuggest Providers

Plugins
to supplement or replace the AutoSuggest providers.  So for example, be able to add one of the
custom dictionaries and receive suggestions from there instead of, or in
addition to, the autotext list for example?

Pending

This
really needs the Terminology API to be exposed… due for release late this
year I hope.

032

Library
Utilities

Custom
Grammar checkers

These
could be based on using Word as we don't do this now, or using third party
checkers.

Pending

Note:
we now have a Word Grammar checker, but it would be good to see more!

033

Project
Utilities

Project
creator

Create
an app to control the ability of Studio to automatically create projects
based on files being provided on local/shared drives or an ftp. The settings
could define the language pairs, and the Studio profile to be used and then
do the project automatically.

Klaus
Fleischmann

Complete

Our
tool can create projects, create packages, import packages, send packages via
mail or ftp etc. It is a webservice which you can call or which can monitor
folders. You can set up several "instances" of our service so that
basically you can configure different workflows for different file types.

034

Project
Utilities

SDLPROJEncrypt

An
application to encrypt a Project inbetween work that would allow a
translator/client to share the work in a secure way.

Pending

035

SDLXLIFF
Utilities

SDLXLIFFAnalyse

Application
to extract an analysis from a standalone SDLXLIFF that has already been
pretranslated.

Pending

036

TM
Utilities

TMXeXchange

Application
to handle TMX files from other products, so matching custom fields, changing
unknown language codes etc.

Pending

037

Filetype

PO
File Format

A
filetype to handle PO files.  I believe
these are typically used to hold catalog information in files created by GNU
gettext and we see these a lot now… usually using the regex filetype to
handle them as monolingual files.

SDL

Complete

038

Filetype

QuickSilver
Filetype

These
files come from BroadVision QuickSilver and are not supported anymore unless
you work through the 2007 tools first.

TM
Utilities

TMeXchangeLangs

An
application to convert an en(US)-de(DE) to en(UK)-de(CH) for example or any
combination of language codes. It makes sense to do this just for
sublanguages to work around the fact that Studio does not allow even the
lookup of other languages but allowing any change wouldn't hurt... someone
somewhere will want to do this..!

Photoshop
psd filetype

A

Photoshop .psd file.

Pending

041

Project
Utilities

Package
Reader

An
application to read a package, or a return package and display what's inside
so that users can check it has been prepared properly prior to sending
it.  I know you can add a .zip to then
end but you may be surprised how many people don't like to do this.  I think it could also be displayed in a
neat way to make this simple and maybe even produce a report to send in an
email with the package as a checklist of what should be there.

TM
Provider

Term
Translator

Provide
a mechanism for using Machine Translation, or TMs (perhaps), to translate the
terms added to a MultiTerm termbase.
So you add a new term in the language you are working in and the rest
are automatically populated… maybe with draft status.

Pending

043

Skins

Disco

Enhances
the editing experience and ensures you are aware you are in Edit mode.  Adaptation of the MultiTerm interface so
that when you are editing terms the background colours change slowly until
you save the term.

Bilingual/Multilingual
Excel filetype

Work
in a similar way to the CSV filetype except allow the handling of embedded
content.

Pending

051

Misc.

Dr.Schulz

A
small tool to manage the export and import of users/customers to and from the
application so that they are safely retained and easily maintained outside of
Studio (every reinstall loses them all).
Providing the option to import from Outook is also a useful feature.

Mio

In
progress

Mio
is currently working on an application to deliver this.

052

TM
Utilities

Picklist
Sort

A
tool that exports an SDLTM to TMX and then exposes the fields values so they
can be edited, sorted etc. and then put back into the SDLTM.

Custom
Variables

A
plugin that allows you to set regex based patterns and have them used as
placeables or auto-translatables

Pending

This
would resolve the problems of non-recognised placeables and a well thought
through interface could make this simple to use.

055

Filetype

XLIFF
Tag it

A
filetype that allowed you to handle embedded content in XLIFF files.  Alternatively a tool that parsed the XLIFF
and protected the embedded content, then created a new XLIFF marked up
appropriately for translation.

Pending

056

Project

Project
Merge

An
application that allowed you to merge existing Projects into one  Or to take multiple packages and create
single projects from them, finally allowing appropriate return packages to be
created for sending back.

Pending

057

Project
Utilities

Template
eXpert

An
application that allowed you to add multiple TMs, Termbases etc. to an
existing Project via selection of an existing Project Template.  So if you receive a Package, or work with
GroupShare and you wish to add your own resources you can do it with only a
few clicks.

Pending

058

Filetype

AfterTag

A
mechanism for tagging text after it has already been parsed into Studio.  So if you find the files you have contain
text that should not be translated it would be very useful to be able to
protect it through selection, either with a mouse or keyboard perhaps, or via
a regex to select multiple patterns of text at once.

Pending

059

Review

Review
on the go

A
mobile phone/tablet app that allowed you to take the export for external
review file (should be possible as handling Word files is already possible),
edit it on your phone with the keypad or via voice, and place the final
version back for import into Studio.
Maybe linked to a dropbox account to make the process simple.

Pending

It
would be particularly cool to see something like this working with Google
Glasses!

060

Project
Utilities

Project
Wizard

Extend
the Connecting Content application in the SDK so it becomes a fully fledged
application.  The management aspect for
this could be a new view in Studio.
There are many use cases for this that would be very handy:

- link to a dropbox account. So folders placed in the dropbox account are
used automatically to create a Project

- create a template where you list your customers, the location of your
customers files for translation, and the appropriate project template to e
used when files arrive in this location.

Pending

061

TM
Utilities

TM
Lookup

Simple
utility that supports concordance in a TM, or group of TMs.  Sort of like T-Windows but more reliable
and less functional.  Just allow
search, selection, and easy transfer of the result from the utility to
whatever you are working on.

Pending

062

AutoSuggest

EditSuggest

An
application that allowed you to edit existing AutoSuggest entries.  This would be very helpful in removing
crappy entries, or just innappropriate entries without having to try and find
the problem in the SDLTM and regenerate.
Should support a simple search & replace mechanism too (preferably
supporting regex)

Pending

063

AutoSuggest

CreateSuggest

An
application that can generate an AutoSuugest Dictionary from any number of
TUs in your Translation Memory.  So no
restrictions.  It should also be able
to generate the AutoSuggest Dictionary from parallel texts (sdlxliff, excel
file).  It should however check for the
existence of either the AutoSuggest Creator license, or a Professional
License.

Pending

064

Project
Utilities

ProjectView

A
replacement view for the current Project View that could be used as an
alternative.  This should allow these
kinds of things:

- filtering by customer

- addition of a subject area that can also be filtered

- addition of any custom field that can filtered

Pending

065

File
Utilities

FileView

A
replacement view for the current Files View that could be used as an
alternative.  This should allow these
kinds of things:

- filtering by customer

- addition of a subject area that can also be filtered

- sorting of files by date added

- addition of any custom field that can filtered

Pending

066

Ribbon
Utilities

RibbonManager

A
tool that allows you to manage the ribbons in Studio so you can have whatever
you like being displayed on the ribbons.

Pending

067

Misc.

AppManager

A
utility that can be used to easily backup and restore all Studio applications
being used on your computer.  Would
significantly improve the user experience in transferring apps from one
comupter to another.

Pending

068

Project
Utilities

ProjectMagic

An
alternative Project Wizard that supports multilingual projects with different
source files per language.  Currently
you add your files and all files go to all languages.  It would be good to be able to specify as
you create which files go to which language.

Pending

069

Addtnl.
Utilities

Web
lookup

Look
up subsegment text based on a selection:

- Wikipedia, Linguee, Google etc. "meta search" plug-in that
returns the result within a Studio view part in Editor

o Users can decide which search engines they want and the app can ideally
aggregate the results

o This would mean that all used providers would need an API (I think)

o Alternatively would also be nice to show results in different view parts
in Studio maybe – not sure how this could best work but could be a tabbed
view part where you can cycle through Linguee, Wikipedia etc.

Pending

An
exptension to the sample wikipedia plugin in the SDK.

070

TB

TaaS
Glossary provider

Better
with the Terminology provider API, but could be neat to have a look up that
displays in a new view part in Studio.

Apple
Keynote

Filetype
for Studio that allows the translation of Apple Keynote files.

Library
Utilities

Dictionary
Manager

Studio
does not come with a complete set of dictionaries for every language.  It would be pretty cool to have an app that
launched from either the ribbon, or a link in the spell checker settings to
make it easy for translators to manage their dictionaries.  So,

- allow to create a new one based on selecting an existing as the
base.  So create es-US based on es-MX
for example.

- allow to create a new one that's empty, but at least you can start
building!

- guide the user through where to find additional Hunspell dictionaries so
they can be downloaded and added.

Pending

073

TM
Utilities

AlignJustifier

Replicate
an improved process for testing files to see if they are worth aligning,
similar to the old "Use TM from previous analysis" in Trados 2007.
This is sort of possible using the internal analysis in Studio, but it made
me think it could be pretty cool to have a quick check specifically for this
usecase.

1. Select your old source files(s)

2. Select your new source file(s)

3. Do something to replicate this in the background:

a. Open original source
files

b. Copy source to target

c. Update an empty TM with
this

d. Analyse the new source files
against this TM

4. Report a value, a single percentage, that reflects the value of aligning
with the original source files first

5. Maybe also expand a box to the detailed analysis if wanted

This could be added as a new button added to the appropriate toolbar to
help with decision making around alignment.
