The main new features and improvements in this version are as follows.

1. “One translation per source” option
2. PowerPoint Felix interface made consistent with Word and Excel interfaces
3. “Correct Translation” keyboard shortcut for Excel

1. “One translation per source” option

There is now an option to only allow one translation per source segment. By default, Felix allows any number of translations for the same source segment.

When this feature is enabled, if you add a new translation for an existing source segment in the TM, the existing record will be replaced.

To enable this feature, go to Tools > Preferences, then click on the Memory tab, and select “One translation per source segment.”

Note: You should set this option before loading any TMs. If you change it after a TM is loaded, you could get unexpected results.

2. PowerPoint Felix interface made consistent with Word and Excel interfaces

3. “Correct Translation” keyboard shortcut for Excel

There is now a “Correct Translation” keyboard shortcut option for Excel. To activate this option, go to the Felix menu in Excel, and select Preferences. Then select Keyboard Shortcuts,　and assign a keyboard shortcut for “Correct Translation”. The default is CTRL+ALT+UP.

4. Memory Manager: Give option to show old manager

Some users with older versions of Internet Explorer (typically corporate mandated) had problems using the features of the new Memory Manager window. There is now an option to use the old Memory Manager dialog: from the Preferences dialog (Tools >> Preferences), select the “Use old memory manager” checkbox.

5. Bug Fix: Broken css/javascript on Japanese Memory Manager window

On the Japanese version of the Memory Manager window, pages were not displayed properly due to broken CSS and JavaScript links.

6. Allow unlimited number of files in loaded history

You can now keep an unlimited number of files in the loaded history (used in the “Load previous memories/glossaires on next startup” option). The previous limit was 15 items each.

About XLIFF Translator

XLIFF Translator is a free tool for generating and translating XLIFF files. It’s made to work with the Felix translation memory system, but can also be used as an XLIFF editor/creator.

XLIFF Translator

Go to the online API docs.

These new docs are updated and go into a fair amount of detail.

You can also download the docs in Microsoft Help format. If clicking the link doesn’t download the file for you, then right-click the link and select “Save Link As…” Also note that Windows may block the content because it’s from the Internet. To release the block, right click on the file on your computer, and from the Properties dialog, click the button to unlock it.

What is the scripting API?

The scripting (automation) API is a COM interface for controlling Felix. It lets you write macros/scripts to control the behavior of Felix, and automate repetitive tasks. This API is available for all Felix installations.?

Below are some of the many file formats that you can get into Felix.

Translation Memory Formats

Glossary Formats

In addition to the formats listed above, any tabular/table-based file that can be opened in Excel can be imported into Felix. For example, you can download a glossary in HTML format from the Internet, open it in Excel, and from there import it into Felix.

If you have an existing translation and original, and want to create a translation memory from it, then I suggest using the free Align Assist tool.

If you have the need to import a file format that’s not supported now, please let me know in the comments, or from the contact page.

You can download the latest version here.

This is a minor bug-fix release. The main improvements are as follows.

1. Bug fix: Saving results as TMX or Trados text saved entire translation memory
2. Translation memories and glossaries can be saved in tabbed text format
3. Bug fix: All details became visible in Edit mode

1. Bug fix: Saving results as TMX or Trados text saved entire translation memory

Saving search results in the Search Window in TMX or Trados text format caused the entire translation memory to be saved.

Back to top

2. Translation memories and glossaries can be saved in tabbed text format

You can now save translation memories (TMs) and glossaries in tabbed-text format. For now, it’s not possible to select which fields are saved; it will be possible to select the fields (and whether a header row is output).

3. Bug fix: All details became visible in Edit mode

When switching to Edit mode (Ctrl+E), all detailed record information became visible. This information now stays hidden.

As an example, here is a Word macro that will raise Felix to the top of your screen, while keeping the keyboard focus in Word. This is useful if you return to Word after an internet search, etc., and don’t want to go searching around for the Felix window.

Sub ActivateFelix()

    Dim felix As Object
    Set felix = CreateObject("Felix.App")
    felix.Visible = True
    Call felix.app2.MemoryWindow.Raise

End Sub

Now if you assign a keyboard shortcut for this (in Word 2010, it would be File >> Options >> Customize Ribbon >> “Customize” keyboard shortcuts button, then select Macros >> ActivateFelix >> “your keyboard shortcut”).

You could also create a “document changed” event handler, so that every time Word gets focus, Felix is raised to be visible. The code for this is a bit too involved for this blog post, but you can see the Microsoft documentation for how to write document event handlers.

In a future release of Felix, I plan on making functionality similar to this (also remembering the widow sizes and positions) available as a Felix option.

I’ll be updating the API documentation soon with all the new stuff, but for the meantime, here are the APIs for the memory and glossary windows:

App.App2.MemoryWindow:

• Raise (method)
• Left (int)
• Top (int)
• Width (int)
• Height (int)

App.App2.GlossaryWindow:

• Raise (method)
• Left (int)
• Top (int)
• Width (int)
• Height (int)
