Key New Features in SDL Passolo 2011

Re-design of the Microsoft.NET Add-Ins

  • Now fully supports Microsoft.NET 4.0 and all older frameworks from .NET 1.0
  • Ability to run diagnostic reports to quickly analyse problems and adjust localization kit accordingly.

Introducing SDL Passolo Collaboration Edition

  • Designed to support and speed up the workflows associated with the agile development process. SDL Passolo Collaboration Edition knows who is working on what part of the project
  • Enables the localization team to push through changes from customer sources to translator. Removing the need to return bundles before the translation is completed.

Support for machine translation

  • Support for Google Translate, Microsoft Translator and SDL Language Weaver 
  • Machine translation can be used while Pre-Translating with any proposals being directly displayed in the fuzzy list. All matching translation entries are marked accordingly to distinguish from those entries that may be new or from an existing Translation Memory.

More productivity functions

  • Immediate checking of changed text entries. Changes are checked and on error the entry is marked with an exclamation mark to allow quick identification of any errors
  • Continue working where you left the project with ‘store and restore’ of the working environment.

Enhanced handling of projects 

  • Merge, extract sub projects, un-pack and re-pack project files for better performance in network  environments and in multi-user scenarios
  • Ability to chain projects (from SR1) allowing another Passolo project to be used as the source file. Multiple languages can also be chained with changes in the editing process generating a change notification (update) in dependant languages.
