Tackling a translators graffiti!

Paul over 9 years ago

“Tags” are something we normally like to avoid, whether it’s graffiti or documents prepared for translation in a CAT tool, and you can find articles and forum threads all over the internet about how to avoid them. But what if you want them… the ones in a CAT tool? Let’s say you receive a project from your client in a package, and they didn’t prepare the files as well as you would have liked, leaving you to deal with…

Spot the difference!

Paul over 9 years ago

I don’t know if you can recall these games from when you were a kid? I used to spend hours trying to find all the differences between the image on the left and the one on the right. I never once thought how that might become a useful skill in later life… although in some cases it’s a skill I’d rather not have to develop! You may be wondering where I’m going with this so I’ll explain. Last weekend the SFÖ held a conference…

Managing your SDL Plugins…

Paul over 9 years ago

The SDL Appstore is growing! At the time of writing this article there are 161 apps on the store and over 220 thousand downloads from our users. This is quite impressive and we are still only getting started as the number of APIs available for developers increases. At the moment, in Studio alone we have APIs that allow a developer to do these sorts of things: create new filetypes ( TXML ), or customise existing…

InSource! Bringing in your source content

Paul over 9 years ago

“ Workflow ” and “ Automation “. Terms that are normally used (in our world) when talking about a TMS (Translation Management System). So when working with tools like SDL WorldServer and SDL TMS which are provide a high degree of customisation, both using the user interface and/or through the API (Application Programming Interface). For example, in SDL WorldServer you could create a workflow that automated the process…

Committing the cardinal sin…

Paul over 9 years ago

Strong words… “ Committing the Cardinal Sin “! I can remember from my early days with SDL many interesting, and often frustrating conversations with the then Product Manager for MultiTerm. The almost religious use of phrases like “You can’t use spreadsheets for terminology”… “It only takes a few steps to be able to create a simple glossary with MultiTerm”… “You can’t properly export a MultiTerm termbase to Excel”……

Recording Translation Memory metadata

Paul over 9 years ago

Back in July 2013 I wrote an article called “ Fields and Attributes in Studio ” which was all about adding different types of metadata to your Translation Units every time you confirmed a segment to make it easier, or more complex depending on what you’ve done, to manage your Translation Memories. If you’re not sure what I mean by this take a look at the article as I won’t repeat a lot of that here… at least I’ll try…
