The major feature of this version is a new interface for managing TMs and glossaries. It’s now possible to browse and edit TMs and glossaries, as well as easily change TM/glossary details.

This is a minor release that fixes a bug with global searches, and adds better paged navigation through TMs, glossaries, and search results.

About Memory Serves

Memory Serves is a free application that enables Felix users to share translation memories (TMs) and glossaries over a local network.

You can download the latest version here.

This release mainly includes improvements to the search page, additions to the automation interface, and some bug fixes. This is the last planned release before version 1.6, which will have an improved TM manager.

The main improvements are described below.

General

• Expanded automation API (for macros/scripting)
• Felix can now load glossaries in tab-separated text format
• Bug fix: Fixed error in number placement with numbers containing commas
• Bug fix: Felix no longer scrolls to the top of the window after editing an entry in place
• Bug fix: A bad date format in a record will not cause the TM/glossary to fail to load
• Bug fix: Felix would fail to load TMs/glossaries when many were selected at the same time
• Bug fix: Text was deleted from the “Quick Search” dialog after each search
• Concordance matches are now highlighted for regular expression searches
• Bug fix: The “last modified” date was overwriting the “created” date
• Memory and glossary windows have uniform search menu items

Search Window

• Bug fix: Bad date formats in the Search window could crash Felix.
• Improved navigation in search results
• Bug fix: After an entry was edited or deleted, the results would return to the first page

Remote TMs (Memory Serves)

• Performance improved for remote TM/glossary look-ups

PowerPoint

• Certain abbreviations (e.g. “Ms.” and “Dr.”) are no longer recognized as being segment ends

I’ve created this as a separate page so that I can keep it up to date, and to encourage comments/feedback.

Please have a look. Is there something missing? Some feature that’s particularly important to you? Let me know!

You can download the latest version here.

This is still beta software, so please use for evaluation only.

Here are the main improvements to this version:

• Support for opening single XLIFF files

  When you open an XLIFF file, the file’s directory is opened as the current project, and the XLIFF file is selected in the translation view.

• Wide range of XLIFF files passing test suite.

  An XLIFF Translator user kindly supplied me with a variety of XLIFF files, and XLIFF Translator can handle all of them.

• Japanese localization finished.

  There were a few strings that didn’t have Japanese localizations. I’ve added those translations in this version.

Thanks to user ysavourel who provided great feedback in the Felix forums.

About XLIFF Translator

XLIFF Translator is a free (MIT license) Windows desktop application for translating XLIFF files. XLIFF is a standard XML format for translation.

You can download the latest version here.

Here are the main improvements in this version:

• Global search and replace

  Now you can search and replace in all memories/glossaries at once

• Download search results

  You can download the search results as a TM file. This is useful for things like creating a TM/glossary for all entries added in a given date range, created by a specified user, or containing a certain word.

• You can add records from the Web interface.
• Records on browse page and in search results are edited in place.

  Before, when you clicked “Edit” for a record in a search result, after editing you would be sent to the search page with your search cleared. Now, you edit records in place, so you stay on the same search results page.

This release doesn’t have a lot of new features, but it includes major bug fixes and some performance improvements. Because this version includes several bug fixes, I recommend that everyone upgrade if that’s possible.

A summary of the new features/improvements follows.

Felix

• Bug fix: In the Search Window, searching using an invalid date format would crash Felix.
• Improved performance with Memory Serves remote memories.
• Bug fix: Word did not stay in review mode when switching documents.
• Made search menu items uniform across memory window and glossary window.
• Bug fix: When a translation was shown in review mode, clicking “Edit” in Felix would bring up a different entry.
• Bug fix: Editing a record would also change the “created by” and “date created” values.
• Improved wording used in Japanese UI.
• Bug fix: Bad date formats were causing Felix to fail to load TMs. Felix now falls back to using the local date/time when it finds a bad date format.
• Bug fix: an error would appear if a macro was called on Felix while the main window wasn’t visible.

Excel

• Bug fix: “Look up next” command (Alt + L and the menu command) did not work.

PowerPoint

• Certain abbreviations ending in periods (“Mr.”, “Dr.”, “Mrs.” etc.) are no longer recognized as ending the segment.

Documentation

For this project, I’m experimenting with a new documentation system called Sphinx. The documentation it puts out is very pretty, and it’s easy to write as well.

See the XLIFF Translator documentation

Forum

I’ve created a forum on the Felix forum site for discussions, bug reports, and feature requests regarding XLIFF Translator.

Other Support

You’re also welcome to contact me directly with any questions or problems using XLIFF Translator.

This is an initial, beta release, so expect bugs. Your feedback will help me greatly to improve XLIFF Translator and get out a great 1.0 release.

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.

Download the Felix/TMX versions of the Tanaka Corpus here.

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, but in the meantime, you can modify the search-matches template to show this information in the current Felix version.

I’ve created modified versions of the English and Japanese-language versions of the templates, and made them available for download.
