G'day everyone

Do you know of tools that remove untranslated strings from a PO file, or
that turns source=target strings in a PO file to source-only strings?  I
want to use OmegaT to translate PO files but unfortunately OmegaT puts
the source text in the target field for strings that are not translated,
and that interferes with my other PO tools which regard any string with
content to be a translated string.

Alternatively, is there a tool that can translate a PO file with 100%
matches from a TMX file?

Any ideas?

Thanks
Samuel

Hello,

I'm passing on this IMO very interesting message that turned up on the
Linuxfortranslators list.

It's a chance to make your voice as a translator heard, and for those
who want to, a chance to participate and/or contribute to open source
tools for translators.

I've already done the survey, and I can recommend it.

The more translators that contribute, the better the results :)

BR,
Gudmund

Hello together,

the Linux Solutions Group e.V. (LiSoG) is supporting the initiative
Forum Open Language Tools (FOLT) initiating a Translation Open Source
Systems (TMOSS) [1]. FOLT has published an excerpt on this topic [2]
(currently only in german. English version is in progress). LiSoG is
doing an online survey to find out the pattern of use for translation
memory software and the acceptance for using open source software in
general. The survey is available in German [3] and English [4].

Please step by and check out the survey. It is quite an interessting
project and the FOLT guys are really up to pushing the development of an
Open Source translation memory system. Just give them input about your
needs.

Hi,

I'm not sure if it's OK to post in this list. Please let
me know and I promise I'll never do this again...


Basicly: The ]project-open[ team is proud to announce the
release of version V3.2 of our open-source project management
and translation workflow system.

I've posted our standard press release below.
But what's really interesting for you:



Simplified System:


We had received feedback in this group that ]po[ is too
complex for individual freelancers and small groups.
So we have acted on that and present:

	 - A VMware installer: Just install this Vmware
	   on Linux or Windows and you are done. No
	   configuration....The VMware includes SuSE 9.3.

	 - We have included a "Configuration Wizard" to
	   reduce the functional complexity of the system.
	   Just choose the options "Simplified" and
	   "Translation" in the configuraiton wizard and
	   only the minimum functionality is enabled.
	   However, you can just run the wizard again later
	   if you want more modules enabled..
	   You can't miss the wizard, it's the first page
	   after the installation...




]project-open[ is #1 in "Business Management":

Common Sense Advisory evaluated 16 translation management
systems and says that we're the best in terms of project
management, finance etc. (That means: ]po[ is NOT the
best application for "translation memory" (no TM build
in...) and in "translation workflow").

For more details please see below.




Please try it and give us feedback:

So I would invite you to download the installers
(particularly the VMware...), try the new system and tell
us what you liked and (very important!) what you didn't
like. We are already working on V3.3 for release possibly
in 3 months, so we might be able to incorporate your
feedback.

Bests,
Frank

agencies and localization departments. It covers the entire project life
cycle from definition &sales, staffing and project execution (timesheets,
incidents and discussions, file storage and oversight) to invoicing and
payment.

With ]project-open[, any authorized user can access the system anytime and
from anywhere, evaluating relevant projects and process information. The
integrated financial controlling module allows checking profit & loss for
projects and customers and integrates with backend accounting systems such
as SAP. The ]project-open[ architecture is based on Internet technology and
is designed for mission-critical applications with high scalability and a
sophisticated role-based permissions system.

Good point. We should think about the sub title again :-)

It was made at the very start of the blog and somehow the topics we
had so far and these we plan are not related to any platform. To be
honest, we have not read the sub title for long and forgot about it a
bit. So thanks for your heads up.

I've taken a look at the blog and since you remain vendor neutral (ie
you specifically don't name or focus on such and such software) why
do you need to specify "Windows" in the blog title ?

It looks like pretty much everything you write is relevant whatever
the platform is, and the few "windows only" items are general enough
that specifying Windows in the title does not seem that relevant to me.

There are plenty of things to say about multiplatform localization
and Mac or Linux localization.

Dear Colleagues,

we wan to point you to our blog related to software localization tools:

http://www.the-localization-tool.com.

We keep the information in the blog vendor neutral while we
concentrate mainly on general topics. The blog is also a good starting
point for everybody starting with software localization.

The downside of belonging to many translators' mailing lists is
receiving advertisements such as these over and over and over again.
Well, at least the advert is on-topic or at least somewhat relevant.

Dear Colleagues,

We hope that this dictionary will be a valuable addition to your
electronic bookshelf and will relieve you from

dictionaries each time
you come across an unknown abbreviation.

You are welcome to download 30-day evaluation version of AcroLexic
from http://www.acrolexic.com

Questions and suggestions about AcroLexic are always welcome at

You can define the segmentation rules in most CAT tools, but this only defines,
where the sentences are splitted.
But the punctation mark is part of the sentence, so you will get fuzzies,
when you use differentt punctations

Short answer: it depends upon the segmentation rules of the TM application
concerned, which in turn depend upon the default rules, the scope for user
configuration and the individual user's configuration preferences.

Hello,

I'm a technical editor for a software company, and I'm working on
style guidelines to facilitate efficient translation. I hope that
subscribers to this list can help me by responding to a couple of
similar questions.

Case 1:

I'd like to know whether it is important for us to standardize which
punctuation mark we use in cases where any one of multiple
punctuation marks might be considered acceptable.

In the following sentence, either an em dash or a colon could be
used. Some of our writers even use double hyphens (ugh!) in place of
an em dash.

a) Every form has a current lock state—either locked or unlocked.
b) Every form has a current lock state: either locked or unlocked.
c) Every form has a current lock state -- either locked or unlocked.

Would the difference in internal punctuation cause these to be fuzzy
matches instead of exact matches in TM?

I suppose that em dashes, colons, or double hyphens -could- be
specified as segment boundaries, but would that typically be the
case?


Case 2:

In this case, the only difference between the sentences is that the
2nd sentence contains a comma before "such as":

a) JAR is a cross-platform file format that aggregates the files that
are associated with Java applets such as webEIS documents.
b) JAR is a cross-platform file format that aggregates the files that
are associated with Java applets, such as webEIS documents.

Would the comma cause these to be fuzzy matches instead of exact
matches?

In this case, I would hope so, because the comma affects the
interpretation (and hence should affect the translation--in some
languages, at least). The first sentence implies that webEIS
documents are an example of Java applets, which is false. The second
implies that webEIS documents are an example of "the files that are
associated with Java applets," which is correct.

Thanks.

Rahul Dua,
Assuming this is actually a mail from you and not an impostor, allow me to
point out to you, as well as the IT dept. of your university, that spamming
newsgroups is not appreciated. This list has a specific topic and your
childhood questions nor your infantile adult thoughts for promoting your
university neither endears us to you or your school and makes us wonder
about the quality of your university and its teachings.

This list has a well-defined universe. Please keep your scrawls within its
borders.

Of course if this was just a virus pretending to be you, then this was an
answer not worth questioning, and never mind.

Questions about why we and the universe exist are worth asking even if there

My thoughts as I read it …

IT IS !
Is there a universe, it is!
Is universe illusion of mind, it is!
Is it all, it is!
Is something beyond universe, it is!

I remember my few childhood questions which bothered me then and not so much
now, (however due to two
reasons)
Some had simple answer –it is!
And some questions which did not have simple answers and therefore led to
more questions I felt strange (even now) why those questions!
Some questions (simple answers type!)
Is it real what I see or is it what I want to see Is it real what I listen
or is it what I want to listen Is it real what I think or is it what I want
to think Is it real what I perceive or is it what I want to perceive The
answer: it is!
Some Questions (not simple answer type!) We build our knowledge around
language, society, nature, events, time what is the basis of this (language,

The theme of this sixth Localization World Conference is "Working Together".
Speakers from Oracle, Adobe, Autodesk, Rockwell, Microsoft, AOL, Medtronic,
Hewlett-Packard, Daimler-Chrysler, Sun Microsystems and lots of other
companies will share their perspectives and debate their opinions in panel
and praxis sessions on collaboration and other topics. The conference offers
a great opportunity to stay abreast of the issues and learn about new
products and services. With more than 40 confirmed exhibitors and an
expected participation of more than 500 attendees from 30 countries,
Localization World will again be a good networking event.

Scale is important in the global localization industry. But that does not
mean that you have to be big. In his keynote address to the Localization
World Conference in Barcelona on May 31, Roger Camrass will share his
perspective on the transformation of business which he has labeled as an
atomization process. The localization industry is not an exception to these
fundamental changes in conventional supply chains. Traditional
customer-vendor relationships will make room for a range of specialist
offerings from portfolio and customer managers, web spinners, smart
companies, business platforms, who through technology innovation and
connected communities give a new meaning to consolidation and scalability.
Roger Camrass, Director of the Business Transformation Group at Fujitsu
Corporation and co-author of the book "The Atomic Corporation," puts his
finger on the trends that will undoubtedly affect every buyer's and seller's
business in the localization industry.

On May 30 - the pre-conference day - there is a choice of workshops and
round table meetings, like the TAUS Round Table meetings on translation
workflow and machine translation and the medical roundtable meeting.

If you were thinking about coming to the Localization World Conference in
Barcelona, you should register soon, as there is a chance for the conference
to be sold out. For more information:
http://www.localizationworld.com/lwbar2006/index.htm .
