I converted the Tanaka Corpus of aligned Japanese and English sentences into Felix translation memory (TM) and TMX formats.
The Tanaka Corpus is a collection of around 150,000 Japanese-English sentence translation pairs, compiled over several years by university students, with later cleanup and correction by Jim Breen and his colleagues.

There was an interesting question on the Japanese-language Felix forum about displaying the glossary/memory name in the Felix search results (from the new search window).
Right now, you can view the memory/glossary name if you click on the “Details” link, but it’s not visible by default. I plan to make it visible in a near-future update, [...]

The Felix code base is now over 10 years old. Conceptually, it’s a bit older than that, but I made the last complete rewrite about 10 years ago.
Since then, I’ve avoided any major rewrites of the code, instead improving and evolving the existing code base. As your code ages, a rewrite can start to seem [...]

I’ve just created a forum for Felix.
Click here to go to the forum.
Participation is open to all, but some features (like posting) require user registration.
I had actually been debating with myself for some time about whether to create a forum. Felix already has a mailing list, and I felt that adding a forum might dilute [...]

Until recently, there was no real way to browse through your TMs and glossaries in Felix. One technique was to save the TM/glossary as an Excel file, and view it from Excel, but that obviously isn’t really satisfactory.
With the new Search feature in Felix, however, you can browse, edit, and delete your TM/glossary entries right [...]
