Translators' Tools

Volume 3, No. 2
April 1999

This new section of the Translation Journal intends to bring together vendors of products that can be of interest to working translators and potential users of such products. We will always make a clear distinction between independent, signed reviews of hardware or software by users and announcements of products by their vendors.
If you have a product to sell that is of interest to translators or have used a product and wish to share your (positive or negative) experience with your colleagues, we want to hear from you. There is no charge for short and factual product announcements.
Please contact the vendors directly for information or orders. The Editor is not responsible for the quality, availability, or fitness for any particular purpose of the products announced in the Translation Journal.

WebBudget

WebBudget is a budgeting / billing tool for translators of web pages and for web site owners interested in localizing their sites. WebBudget requires the Windows 95 / 98 / NT platforms.
    WebBudget locates, classifies and counts all translatable text in an Internet file, including all the META tags, BUTTON words, JAVA messages, or ALT words. It also counts entire projects (folders + subfolders), from disk or online.
    The free WebBudget 2.0 Public Version is available for download at http://www.webbudget.com. The Public Version works on documents up to 10,000 characters in size, covering most web pages, and is free for unlimited use.
    The Professional ($89), Workgroup ($199) and Corporate ($450) versions have no file size limit and are available at the WebBudget site, as well as complete list of features, tutorials, examples, screenshots, etc.

Trados TagEditor

TRADOS TagEditor, the new add-on to Translator's Workbench for translating SGML/HTML; tagged (filtered) FrameMaker, Interleaf, and PageMaker files; or any other tagged file format..
    With TRADOS TagEditor's unique translator-friendly approach, you only see what you have to translate, so you're not distracted by the original mark-up of the document.
    TagEditor is a free companion to Translator's Workbench 2!
    Along with the launch of TagEditor, TRADOS has also released a new version of its free info CD. Besides including a technology preview version of TagEditor, it features:

the song "Flagman Ahead" that was released especially for the launch of TRADOS TagEditor
an updated version of the Euterpe dictionary, which now contains well over 170,000 entries
all TRADOS Fine Translation Tools including self-running demonstrations, documentation and further information

Another new feature introduced by Trados is T-Window for PowerPoint, an add-on (300 USD), which allows the translator to translate directly in PowerPoint, preserving all of the formatting.
