Dogfooding

mwk — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:14:01 +0200

Eating our own dog food.
It is no secret that we at Sisulizer use Sisulizer to localize Sisulizer. And we use Sisulizer to localize Kaboom, our converter utility we give away for free.
Now we use Sisulizer 2010 Enterprise to also localize our new website. You can see the results at www.sisulizer.de. That's dogfooding at it's best.

Thanks to Sisulizer changes to the original website can be easily re-used on the localized version. A simple Scan for Changes in Sisulizer finds all changed and new parts and re-uses existing translations. This makes adding or changing content easy and safe. The result is a localized version of a website that is as up-to-date as the original.

The building of the localized version makes use of Sisulizer's SLMake command line utility. A single batch run copies all untranslated parts (like the online help embeded to the website or other intentially not localized pages), builds the localized files using SLMake, and finally uploads the changed content using ftp.

Give it a try. Download Sisulizer 2010 today and localize your software, databases, XML files, HTML Help files, text files, and your website with one single tool: Sisulizer Enterprise!

Build 307 improves localization of .po files

rr — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:10:51 +0200

Localize .po files with plural forms. Other languages use different grammar. Most western languages use one word for a single item, and another for more than one items. But there languages on this planet that use a wider range of expressions to specify how much items they are talking about. Gnu gettext routines, and resulting .po files support this additional plural forms. So does Sisulizer. Read more in our blog The Localization Tool.

Build 291 is ready for download

mwk — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:17:22 +0200

Improved machine translation and much, much more. With the new build translating HTML with Google Translate and bing Translator (formerly know as Microsoft Translator) becomes much more useful then ever. Sisulizer now protects the tags as well as placeholders like %s. For you, our users, that means faster and better results with machine translation.

You have OpenOffice spell dictionary packages (.oxt) on your machine and use them? Now you can re-use them with Sisulizer. And even better: One custom dictionary can be used for original and translation at the same time. This is useful in some situations where target and source language are the same (e.g. if you have developer's English in your sources and translate that into marketing English).

All fans of Jim Breen's Japanese to English dictionary will be glad to hear that Sisulizer can now use the EDICT dictionary.

But that is not enough. For fans of RoboHelp we also have good news. The latest Sisulizer build comes with support of browse sequences in the CHM format.

Source code formats use a new magic way to keep original and translations together if you use Scan for Changes. The new method is much safer and switched on by default for new projects.

Not to forget that database localization was improved and the import and export to Excel, TMX, and XLIFF also got some (internal) brush up. Check our version history for more details.

Needless to say, that the new build is free to download for all our V2008 customers. If you are still using Sisulizer 1 it is about time to make your update.

Contact our sales team today to receive your personal discount code for the update.

Microsoft Translator

mk — Wed, 27 May 2009 10:01:20 +0200

You asked for more free machine translation. Here comes Microsoft Translator. Sisulizer Enterprise comes now with a fully integrated interface to Microsoft Translator. This free machine translation service allows automatic translation between 12 languages. Not as impressive as Google Translate's language list but Microsoft's Translator has some advantages in handling of e.g. html tags.

The results of Microsoft Translator are similar to Google Translate (some say it is even a little bit better in some languages) and can be used for pre-translation or pseudo-translation jobs.

Please keep in mind: Microsoft Translator's machine translation can not replace the quality work of a human native speaker. Read more about machine translation on Wikipedia.

The interface to Microsoft Translate is included in a free upgrade for all our 2008 Enterprise customers. Thank you all for the suggestions helping us to create the best localization experience for you.
