Description

Glossary Converter
This is a tool to help translators make use of terminology in Trados Studio. It converts between Excel spreadsheets (or some other glossary formats) and MultiTerm termbases (as required in Trados Studio) with a minimum of effort.

Glossary Plugin
This is a Trados Studio Plugin that makes it easier to add terminology to projects. You can either add a new, empty termbase, or import existing terminology files. It's also possible to export project termbases with a click. The plugin requires Glossary Converter for part of its functionality.

Changes

Version 6.4.9138 (parts of it briefly available as 6.4.9109/6.4.9110)
  • Quick select mode for output format: try Ctrl-Alt-O or Ctrl+Click on the "out" tile
  • Custom sort order for fields/languages
  • Language selection dialog shows tooltip for truncated languages
  • When running in command line mode, fewer dialogs are displayed, and performance improves a little.
  • General streamlining saves a Megabyte of disk space and a few milliseconds of loading time. Not much left to optimise :-)
  • Fix: Crash with several languages when importing in Trados Studio. Reported for Bosnian, Hungarian, and Nynorsk (Norway). Probably some others failed, too.
  • Fix: If the start up coordinates of the main window were invalid, e.g. when changing between different screen setups, the converter would be "displayed" outside the screen and be invisible.
  • Fix: When using "group & hide fields", ungrouping was expanding to the left of the group, not the right. This affected MS Excel, Libre Office was OK
  • Fix: Errors in hyperlink detection when converting to sdltb
  • Fix: Conversion BeGlobalEts -> Multiterm crashed (no a very common operation, I guess :-)
  • Fix: Selection for bilingual format listed unavailable target languages
