Hi,

We're proud to announce the availability of TinyTM V0.1,
a small but powerful open-source translation memory. Below

I have attached below a press release and also part of a
newsletter from FOLT (http://www.folt.org/). FOLT is a kind
of German translation industry association.

So please have a look at TinyTM and let us know what you
think. In particular, please download and check the software.
We've setup a demo server, so that you just need to install
the Microsoft Word client.


Best regards, and have a nice weekend!
Frank

For immediate release.

Barcelona, April 17th, 2008: TinyTM, an open-source project producing
translation memory (TM) software, announces the release of Version V0.1 of
TinyTM. This initial build includes a TM client for Microsoft Word and a TM
server based on a PostgreSQL database.

"The goal of TinyTM is to deliver a commercial-grade translation memory as
open-source software," says Frank Bergmann, the initiator of the project.
"This is an open-source project in its first phase, and this version is not
yet ready for TM end users. However, V0.1 should provide developers and
other interested parties with a clear idea about the future direction of the
project and its viability."

TinyTM is an open-source translation memory featuring a client-server
architecture, fuzzy matching, and TMX support. V0.1 consists of a
translation client for Word 2003, a TM server based on the PostgreSQL 8.2
database, and an integration with the ]project-open[ translation management
software.

TinyTM has been inspired by the FOLT (Forum Open Language Tools --
www.folt.org) working group and its aim to "create a translation memory
system as Open Source." Initiating TinyTM, Bergmann was able to integrate
FOLT ideas with experience from ]project-open[. However, there is no direct
link between TinyTM and ]project-open[: TinyTM has been designed to be a
completely independent open-source project "hosted" by FOLT or a similar
industry association.

For details on TinyTM please visit http://tinytm.sourceforge.net/.
Please see the "Participate!" page for details on how to collaborate with
the project.

Excerpt from FOLT Newsletter:



Support by ]project:open[

The developers of the Open Source ERP/PM software ]project:open[ are
supporting the FOLT project and are planning an integration of open
translation functions in their product.

]project:open[ supports the technical and commercial processing of
translation projects. The market research company Common Sense Advisory
awarded ]project:open[ first place in “Business Management” in a test
comparing 16 translation management systems. With more than 500
installations in the translation sector, ]project:open[ states that it is
the leader in the number of installations. On the Open Source platform
www.sourceforge.net , ]po[ oscillates between places 50 and 200 in the most
popular Open Source applications.

Inspired by the activities of the TMOSS project, the TinyTM project was
created here. A first version for developers (V0.1) was be officially
released on Thursday 17 April.

Version V0.1 already features all key components of a Translation Memory:

- A TM client for MS-Word
- A TM server based on a PostgreSQL database
- A protocol for communication between client and server

Further components are already planned for the next versions.

The main purpose of Version 0.1 is to demonstrate the seriousness of the
project and activate support for its further development.
