  • AdaptiveMT… what’s the score?

    Paul
     
    AdaptiveMT was released with Studio 2017 introducing the ability for users to adapt the SDL Language Cloud machine translation with their own preferred style on the fly.  Potentially this is a really powerful feature since it means that over time you should be able to improve the results you see from your SDL Language Cloud machine translation and reduce the amount of post editing you have to do.  But in order to be able…

  • Priorities… paths… filetypes….

    Paul
     
    At the beginning of each year we probably all review our priorities for the New Year ahead so we have a well balanced start… use that gym membership properly, study for a new language, get accredited in some new skill, stop eating chocolate… although that may be going just a bit too far, everything is fine with a little moderation!  I have to admit that moderating chocolate isn’t, and may never be, one of my strong points…

  • Advancing the Advanced…

    Paul
     
    Some time ago the SDL AppStore team created an opensource site where they make the source code available for virtually all the apps they create for the SDL AppStore.  You can find the site here,  https://sdl.github.io/Sdl-Community/ , along with links to the apps themselves and also the sourcecode which can be pulled by any developer so they can make their own enhancements and improvements based on a good headstart. …

  • Double vision!!

    Paul
     
    There are well over 200 applications in the SDL AppStore and the vast majority are free.  I think many users only look at the free apps, and I couldn’t blame them for that as I sometimes do the same thing when it comes to mobile apps.  But every now and again I find something that I would have to pay for but it just looks too useful to ignore.  The same logic applies to the SDL AppStore and there are some developers creating…

  • So simple… yet so useful!

    Paul
     
    I’m certainly no expert on knots, but I do like them.  They’ve always held a kind of fascination for me over the years, I even have an app on my phone with 121 knots in glorious 3D.  It sounds a little sad as I write this, but I also have a favourite… a Constrictor Knot.  I use it all the time because I learned a simple way to quickly put this one together for securing the ends of frayed lines even when a Granny would…

  • Spaces and Units…

    Paul
     
    The handling of numbers and units in Studio is always something that raises questions and over the years I’ve tackled it in various articles.  But one thing I don’t believe I have specifically addressed, and I do see this rear it’s head from time to time, is how to handle the spaces between a number and it’s unit.   So it thought it might be useful to tackle it in a simple article so I have a reference point when asked…

  • … and the winner is?

    Paul
     
    Every now and then I see an application and I think… this one is going to be a game changer for Studio users.  There have been a few, but the top two for me have been the “ SDLXLIFF to Legacy Converter ” which really helped users working with mixed workflows between the old Trados tools and the new studio 2009, and the “ Glossary Converter ” which has totally changed the way translators view working with terminology and…

    Paul
     
    I’m back on the topic of PDF support!  I have written about this a few times in the past with “ I thought Studio could handle a PDF? ” and “ Handling PDFs… is there a best way? “, and this could give people the impression I’m a fan of translating PDF files.  But I’m not!  If I was asked to handle PDF files for translation I’d do everything I could to get hold of the original source file that was used to create the PDF…
