Dear Listmates,

I have just uploaded a new version of the macros for translators:
http://web.ticino.com/multilingual/ms_word_macros_for_translators.htm

I have deleted the Altavista parallel text search macros (which have ceased to
work following major changes at Altavista including the removal of several
interesting search functions) and replaced them with Google parallel text search
macros.

Have a go and let me know whether they work properly for your particular
language combination. All feedback will enable me to improve their
effectiveness.

Altavista no longer offers truncation (or the letter wildcard "*"), so searching
for

glossar*

to find "glossary", "glossaries" etc. no longer works.

One search engine that does offer truncation is www.exalead.com

I have also added a new macro for calculating the number of characters in a pdf
document and the cost of translating the pdf document.

Kind regards,
