Tweet The conference #TranslatingEurope Forum 2016 was held on October 27-28 in Brussels. Besides presentations, the conference included two sessions of mini-workshops: the idea was to present some practical aspect of translation in small group – three people at a time. The workshops included my submission on terminology mining. I realized from the start that participants won’t …

One of the advanced memoQ features is Auto-translatables: using regular expressions you can define how certain source text should be modified in target language. The rules can …

One of its new features is redesigned Dashboard view – the screen you see when you start the application.

Localizing iOS .strings files with memoQ
One of the biggest buzzwords/trends in localization is currently “mobile”. And as the buzzwords go, this one is justified – there’s a lot of content being localized for mobile devices.

Gdzie znaleźć terminologię
Wywołano mnie do tablicy pytając listownie o dwu- lub wielojęzyczne glosariusze dostępne w Internecie, najlepiej w formacie XLS lub CSV.

Change Tracker: translation review report in just several clicks

Ostatnio coraz częściej oprócz tłumaczenia zajmuję się redakcją. A po redakcji czasem trzeba udokumentować wprowadzone zmiany, zwłaszcza jeśli było ich dużo. Co prawda nowsze programy CAT dysponują funkcją śledzenia zmian (dostępna np. memoQ czy Trados Studio), to jednak przygotowanie raportu w formie czytelnej poza określonym programem, choć nieskomplikowane, jednak wymaga trochę pracy. Na szczęście istnieją narzędzia, które służą właśnie do obrazowania zmian między dwoma wersjami dokumentów dwujęzycznych.
