Download CATCount CATCount is useful software tool for translation industry professionals. It greatly eases task of accounting of Computer Assisted Translation jobs.
CATCount does this by translating complex CAT Scheme into one easy number, i.e. CATCount. Additionally, it provides great features for printing and export of used CAT Scheme together with original wordcounts, and resulting CATCount . Wordcount analysis logs of Trados Translator's Workbench are processed automatically. The very concept of using single number is not new, and has been used extensively by many translation agencies worldwide under various names: leveraged wordcount , weighted wordcount , equivalent wordcount , etc. Because while regular distribution of wordcount information distinct categories by CAT Tools ( Trados , SDLX , Deja Vu , Star Transit ) is useful for analysis in general, it is not very comfortable for accounting. CATCount takes the solution to the problem to the next level by providing easy interface, which can be shared between translation agencies and freelance translators, and within translator teams.

Lingo 4.0 for
Windows
Lingo 4.0 terminology management system has been
designed specifically to meet the needs of
professional translators. The program allows the
creation of any number of specialised multilingual
dictionaries/glossaries in whatever languages you
choose (Unicode compatible). It can be used with any

as they work. The program can handle large files (i.e.
over 100,000 entries) and has a rapid and easily
configurable search function. The small "toolbar"
type interface stays above whatever word processor
you use for translating and does not get in the way.
The program features comprehensive import/export
functions (XML-TMX, text), meaning that existing
word processed dictionaries can be used and that
dictionaries created using Lingo 4.0 can be used in
other applications. |

MSGloss2TWB: Converts Microsoft Glossaries to Trados translation memory.
"Software localizers, especially those working with programs that run on the Microsoft Windows platform, often consult with the glossaries that Microsoft makes available freely through its ftp site. There are literally hundreds of files in every language that the Microsoft products are localized into. However, the format of these files, csv, makes it hard for some users to work with them. This program should be of interest to anyone who wants to use these repositories within the Trados Translators Workbench: It is a very easy to use program that converts any number of these Microsoft files into the TWB format. Once that is done, you should be able to directly import these files as a Trados translation memory." |

glossary module for
Drupal content management system. You need php and MySQL running in your server.
The glossary module scans posts for glossary terms
(including synonyms). The glossary indicator is
inserted after every found term, or the term itself
is turned into an indicator* depending on the site
settings. By hovering over the indicator, users may
learn the definition of that term. Clicking the
indicator leads the user to that term presented
within the whole glossary or directly to the
detailed description of the term, if available.
The glossary uses Drupal's built in taxonomy
feature, so you can organize your terms in a Drupal
vocabulary. This allows you to create hierarchical
structures, synonyms and relations. Glossary terms
are represented with the taxonomy terms in the
glossary vocabulary. Descriptions are used to
provide a short explanation of the terms. You can
attach nodes* to the terms to provide detailed
explanation on the keywords. |
