  • You can resize the Document Selection window when aligning documents by dragging the corner of the window.
  • The Module Selection box in the search interface has been enlarged.

  • You can now access a document folder directly from the results grid. For more info, select Help menu (in LogiTerm)=>Main Menu=>Search Tools=>LogiTerm databases=>Customizing the Results Grid.
  • TransSearch 3 is now accessible via the TransSearch tab in LogiTerm, so are the new Grand dictionnaire terminologique and OnTerm
  • LogiTerm can now pretranslate XLIFF (.xlf) files.
  • Few “text” buttons have been converted to “image” buttons to make the LogiTerm experience more enjoyable.
  • Under the Help menu=>Main Menu, a new topic Useful Macros has been added.
  • The Edit Bitext button (displayed when you view a bitext segment in context) has been moved at the top of the page.
  • The Bitext database can now index TMX files directly without having to convert them into bitext files.
  • Bitexts and Full Text results are now sorted in decreasing order of date (requires full reindexing).
  • The display settings of the Fuzzy Matches window are saved when you close the box.
  • The indexing process is faster.
  • The indices size is smaller.

LogiTerm, the perfect computer-aided translation tool, offers four useful databases in a very user-friendly interface: Terminology, Bitexts, Full Text and References (LogiTerm Web only). LogiTerm is the only tool to offer such a userfriendliness and flexibility. Skeptical? Ask your free 45-day trial version.

TransSearch 3 – Official version release

After extensive testing of the Beta version, the official version of TransSearch 3 is now available. There are several new features, such as the identification of source and target expressions: TransSearch 3; highlights in context the “best” translations matching the query. Furthermore, TransSearch 3; provides statistics on query results.

Another great development is the improvement of user group management, which is more user-friendly and open. A user group manager can add, deactivate or delete group members and modify user information without the help of Terminotix.

TransSearch 3 also shows, in a color-coded display, which part of a search result segment is the source language.

Never heard of TransSearch? TransSearch is a bilingual concordancer available online, which offers solutions to a wide array of typical translation issues. Translators and professional writers can query multiple databases comprising over 450 million words in three languages (French, English and Spanish) to find an expression or segment. The document collections include texts from the International Labour Organization, the Canadian House of Commons and the Senate of Canada.

Automated Bilingual Term Extraction

SynchroTerm can now create terminology records automatically from bitexts created by AlignFactory. This new feature enables you to automatically add new terminology records without any human intervention.

Here is a break-down of the process:  1) AlignFactory creates new bitexts everyday at a fixed time; 2) Once the bitexts are created, SynchroTerm automatically extracts relevant terms and creates terminology records; 3) LogiTerm then updates its Terminology database and core dictionary automatically.
