In the last couple of days I've been translating a couple of Word files typed by people who still employ the old pre-wordprocessing practice of typing a return...
Why did DVX not use "; " as a sentence delimiter, though it was defined as a delimiter for segmentation in the source language? TTX from XML, DE>NL. -- Leo te...
The word files are probably copied from a pdf-file. In that case there will always be a return at every line. Some people do this copying to avoid the extra...
Further to my previous message, I've just realised that there is an alternative explanation for the interference in the functioning of Auto-assemble: one of...
Hello all, I am almost looking back on a big project in TTX, made from TMX. The XML file came from some content management system that generates Indesign...
... Actually, this recommendation should be the first thing to be told to users, even BEFORE explaining them how to create a project. Experience (and questions...
Accross is kind of a minor nightmare. I had to use it to translate a manual for an automobile navigation system. Aparently they've upgraded the software. 2...
... Hi Leo, AFAIK it is possible to define tag settings in TagEditor for a specific XML. This is what it's called "create a .ini file" in SDLish, if I'm not ...
... Yes. I did some tweaking of the filter in the initial stage of the process. That gave me the idea... ... I never had no Trados-training. It was quite...
... When you import a presegmented ttx file into DVX, the segmentation from Trados is retained. If you need to change the segmentation you must define limiters...
Apparently Across have an exhibitor stand right next to Atril's at the ATA Conference so those interested should have a good chance to compare. Just down the...
FWIW I agree 300%. I always pre-process files before import into DVX. And what Eva says here is exactly what I charge extra for when processing non-editable...
... I guess that my client would not appreciate that... But happily you can split TTX-segments in DVX nowadays. I just wanted that I had been aware from the...
PlusTools, a free utility developped by Yves Champollion, (www.wordfast.net) has a tool to convert text copied from pdf files into a decent word paragraphing....
Does DVX intend making their software Mac compatible? If not, I may look into Heartsome. I'd love to be able to run CAT on a Mac, as the computers are so much...
... Why not? The shorter the segments, the better the hits from memory. I had some awful Excel files recently, that the client had converted to ttx. There were...
... You are right. But by keeping the Trados-segments long, I create an advantage for myself without doing anything illegal. The client gets what he expects...
Hi Tim, the new generation of MACs have dual-core technology, and these days you can apparently run Windows XP and Vista on a MAC after installing an ...

Yes, but does the new Mac read the DVX dongle? Steven ... you ... may look...
... Yes, it does. and DVX runs on a MacBook Pro with Bootcamp (i.e. working in a Windows envionment, not emulation), but I believe you need a maximum of...

... Yes. Tested under Boot Camp and Parallels both. Only (slight) problem in Parallels is that every time the PC environment resumes - which takes about 40...
Hi Steve, afaik, BootCamp sets up XP on a seperate partion on the drive. I don't think you can toggle between the two OSs, but have to chose which system you...

What is the point then to run a Mac ? OSX+Parallels+XP+the apps: in terms of cost/performance one would be better off with a less costly machine. The fact that...
I can understand the frustration of Mac enthusiasts, but don't you think that Heartsome would be a pretty poor replacement for DVX? As far as I can see, you...
I don't believe there is one tool that fits all jobs. I know people who have left Windows and all the DVXies to jump on the Mac bandwagon (before Intel...
... Sorry, but I have correct you on a couple of things ... Nope. As far as I know, you can merge all files for translation. HS supports a number of formats,...
