Multilizer Online Translation Outsourcing makes the translation process easier to handle
Multilizer Online Translation Outsourcing (MOTO) extends the functionality of Multilizer Exchange Wizard by providing an additional way of sending texts off for translation. With MOTO the project manager is able to send texts to Google Translator Toolkit (GTT) which is an online tool specially designed for translation purposes. MOTO offers totally new ways of sharing and managing any kinds of localization projects. Outsourcing any translation work can now be done very simply and quickly with MOTO.

The Outsourced Translation Process with MOTO: 2. Project Manager gives to the chosen translator(s) the access to the document. 3. The translator(s) work with the document and a translation memory (TMX) is created, updated and utilized constantly. 4. Project Manager monitors and reviews the translation while the Translator(s) work. Project manager sees how the translation project progresses. 5. When the translation is ready and approved, Project Manager imports the document automatically back to the Multilizer. |
MOTO truly eases the management of translation projects because
- project participants don’t have to send translation packages back and forth manually
- translators work online and thus they can work anywhere and they don’t have to install any additional software into their computers
- several translators are able to work with the same project and even with the same translation simultaneously which could notably shorten the time spent on translating
- project managers can monitor the progress of translating projects in real-time
- the finished project includes both a translation of the package and a TMX translation memory which can be utilized in other projects by the project manager or the translator
- translators are able to use both public and personal translation memories and also machine translations and spelling-checker to speed up their work
- both MOTO and GTT are extremely user friendly and simple tools

Support for Embarcadero XE enables the localization of any application created with Delphi/C++Builder
Multilizer always keeps supporting the latest versions of Embarcadero. By virtue of this new support for Embarcadero XE, the users of the latest Embarcadero Programming Environment can localize their software with Multilizer.
For developers the sup
port for Embarcadero XE means updated Multilizer Localization Components which gives more choice into the localization possibilities. In practice this means, for instance, that more languages can be added into the software without modifying the actual application and also that the end-users of your software can change the language of the software on run-time.
Translation Validation Wizard boosts and automatizes the validation process
Translation Validation Wizard compares the translation of a Multilizer project with a translation reference which can be any glossary, translation memory or file containing translations: more than 10 file formats are supported. The wizard compares row level translations and then it calculates a percentage representing the difference between translations in the project and in the reference file. The comparison results are collected also into a statistical report.
Translation Validation Wizard increases the translation quality by enhancing the translation consistency and speeds up the localization process by preforming automatic validation. The user is able to focus only on those parts of translations which have lower validation percentages.
Automated Language Detection recognizes the source language of new projects
If the source language detection is made completely manually, there is a possibility of making mistakes by choosing wrongly or by forgetting even to make the language choice.
A wrong source language selection could complicate the whole localization project. Automated language detection eliminates this possibility of having an incorrect source language choice.
This automated language detection feature is especially useful in dynamic localization projects which are created and maintained with Multilizer Command-line Tool but it is beneficial also in Multilizer User Interface (UI) version.
Flagging makes it possible to mark rows in Multilizer projects for several purposes
With the flagging feature the user is able to mark any row in a Multilizer project either manually or in Batch Translation Wizard.
The flagged rows can be reviewed later, filtered from other rows, exported to an external file, exchanged in external files or GTT and sent to the translators. Users can utilize the flagging feature in countless ways to improve project management and its efficiency.
String Difference Visualization shows what has been changed in the original file
This improved feature of Multilizer 2011 visualizes automatically the possible changes made to the original text of a localization project.
String Difference Visualization can significantly reduce the time used in translation work, because localization projects usually consists of several text segments, which can be a single word, a sentence, or a paragraph of text, depending on the software or content to localize. If a small modification is made in the middle of a long text segment, it can take time to find it manually.
To tackle this issue, Multilizer 2011 now visualizes the changes inside any text segment showing detailed information if some pieces of text have been changed, removed, added, modified and so on. This makes the work of the translator easier as he or she can see at once all the changes in the source text. Likewise the project manager can evaluate the situation and choose whether to send off changed text segments for translation or not. If wanted this feature can also be turned on/off by the user.
Support for CDATA in MSXML Scanner renews the data source assortment
Multilizer gives now more wider and better support for XML localization of than never before. The updated MSXML Scanner now supports the localization of CDATA sections in XML. The new support for CDATA widens distinctly the localization possibilities with XML.
This scanner plug-in is available in Multilizer Enterprise.
Excel Import and Export Functionalities allow synergy between Multilizer and Excel
Excel Import and Excel Export functions make it possible to use Excel during the localization and translation processes: project strings can be exported to Excel spreadsheet, translations can be imported from Excel and translation references and databases in Excel format can be utilized.
The ability to export and import information to and from excel could be very remarkable if the translator is used to work with Excel or if Excel spreadsheets contain such pieces of information which are not available in Multilizer project format.
This feature is available in separately sold plug-ins: Excel Exporter Plug-in and Excel Importer Plug-in.
Improved Delphi And C++Builder Source Scanner extends the localization possibilities
This improved plug-in now both supports Delphi XE and C++Builder XE and contains a new feature of filtering strings by property name. This means that the user is able to scan the source code also in the latest Delphi and C++Builder versions. Filtering of strings to scan by property names provides a systematical and efficient way of decreasing the number of strings that need to be translated in the project.
Improved Delphi And C++Builder Source Scanner is available as a separate plug-in.
