I’ve just released version 1.6.7 of Felix.
Download the latest version here.
The main new features and improvements in this version are as follows.
- “One translation per source” option
- PowerPoint Felix interface made consistent with Word and Excel interfaces
- “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.
