What's New In MULTILIZER 6.2
Multilizer 6.2 is the new major release of the award-winning localization
technology. There are tens of generic features that simplify localization
and improve productivity on any platform and project. There are major
improvements in platform specific features too.
Latest and Multilizer 6.2 specific new features are marked in
Red.
Check out:
New General Features
- Wysiwyg
- Visual Editors -- for all common resource types in EXE and RC
localization.
- Source-code wysiwyg; enables full context for translation of strings
in code.
- XML wysiwyg
- Lock dialogs to prevent resizing/reworking of dialogs.

unlocalized (native) forms/menus/source in Wysiwyg mode.
- Enable/disable
clip of controls for more efficient reworking of user interfaces
for any target language.
 Validation
- Close to 20 different validation routines
- Geometry validations: overlap, unmapped controls, ...
- Consistency validations: duplicate hotkeys, missing periods, ...
- Detailed Validation Reports
- Auto-fix issues detected in validation.
- Validation of
missing symbols; define in project options which symbols must not
miss in translations, and let Multilizer validate them for you.
- Validation of
clipped controls.
- Quickly check
which controls have been resized.
- Check if control
has been repositioned.
- Specify XSLT (XML
Style Sheet) for customizing validation report layout.
- Widest support for industry standards
- Delphi 8 (for .NET) support.
- C#Builder support.
- Localization of binary values; e.g., localization of embedded
WAV, AVI, etc.

- New! Node info; verbose
display of node-specific information shown at bottom panel.
- New! Trim translations.
This removes translation, if it is the same as native string. This
can decrease project file size even by one third!
- 6-level status for project translations: Not ready, best guess,
Auto translated, translated, QAed, Ready.
- 3-level status for row (project) strings: New, Unused, In use.
- Improved support for entering Far Eastern characters on any supported
Windows platform.
 Reworked
filter for any combination of translation status, row status, and
data types. - 3-level priority for any part of project: Low, Normal, High.
- New! Filtering by priority.
- Portable Multilizer settings files; help to share the same settings
between multiple users.
- Toggle non-printable characters showing on/off in cells.
- Display and edit translation status in a cell; translation status
can be shown as text in translation grid.
- Display and edit max. characters value in a cell.
- Display and edit max. pixels value in a cell.
- New! Print project
translations along with images.
- New! Project tree allows
smart-cut of long node names; this enables users to see the most
important part of node, if the text exceeds the width of project
view.
- New! Filter project
strings by content of native value.
- New! Filter strings
that contain different translations for the same string.
New Translation Memory
- Fuzzy match
- Totally re-architectured user interface for configuration and efficient
management of TM's.
- Configure and switch between multiple translation memories.
- Specify fuzzy-match threshold.
- Apply 'Auto-translated' flag to project strings; enables filtering
of auto-translated strings in project.
- Apply block words to improve Translation Memory fuzzy match accuracy.
- Translation Memory
statistics; get information about translation counts, stored glossaries/documents,
etc.
- Translation Memory
export functionality; export a part or entire Translation Memory to
another format, such as TMX.
- Translation Memory
import; get translation memories of Multilizer 5.1 imported to Multilizer
6.
- Fuzzy match optimizations
for German and French languages.
- New! Support for TRADOS
Translation Memory Manager utility
- Stand-alone utility for Translation Memory maintenance.
- Included in every MULTILIZER product.
- Maintain Translation Memory contents.
- Lock/unlock translations for off-line work.
- Add/remove languages in Translation Memory.
- 4-level status for any translation.
- Perform searches on Translation Memory contents.
 New
.NET Features
- Wysiwyg; works without .NET Framework installed.
- Support for SLN (Visual Studio Solution) files; no need to separately
pick the ResX for localization.
- Localization of .NET executables (binary localization).
- Wysiwyg configuration for 3rd-party .NET controls; enables users to
specify visual appearance virtually of any control.
- C#Builder support
- Delphi 8 support.
- New! Visual Studio 2005 support
- Automated component
mapping improves the Wysiwyg for projects with 3rd-party controls.
- Target-specific component
mappings add more control for excluding/including strings in projects
that use specific controls.
New Delphi/C++Builder Features
- Delphi 8 support
- New! Delphi 2005 and 2006 support
- New! Multilizer components for Delphi
- Display of visual inheritance; allows accurate localization of inherited
forms and frames.
- Wysiwyg configuration for 3rd-party VCL components; enables users
to specify visual appearance virtually of any control.
- Localization of Common Dialogs in binary localization.
- Run-time language switch in multilingual executable produced by binary-localization.
- Automated component
mapping improves the Wysiwyg for projects with 3rd-party controls.
- Target-specific component
mappings add more control for excluding/including strings in projects
that use specific components.
- Form scaling (Far
Eastern languages) configuration options improved.
- User can specify font
names that must not be changed under localization; this is useful in
applications that use special fonts, such as Wingdings, Webdings, etc.
New Visual Basic Features
- Visual Basic 5 and 6 support.
- Wysiwyg support in
source code localization.
- Automated component
mapping improves the Wysiwyg for projects with 3rd-party controls.

mappings add more control for excluding/including strings in projects
that use specific controls.
 New
XML Localization Features
- Wysiwyg; "IE alike" visual editor for XML.
- Customizable segmentation rules; allows strings to be split, which
enables more efficient translation of longer strings.
- Localize embedded graphics in XML.
- Improved handling of multilingual XML files in Project Wizard; auto-detection
of languages, automated import of translations.
New Database Localization Features
- Unique database cloning architecture; produce exact copies of databases
(structures) with localized content.
- Improved performance in large databases.

Wizard color-codes tables that are assumed to be localized; this
