Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 is enhanced in all areas to provide improvements in languages supported, performance, productivity, usability, standards support and greater functionality with web-based technologies.
Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 provides a truly visual environment for the localization and engineering of digital content and all desktop, internet and mobile applications.
Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 provides:
- NEW Visual Localization Solution for Microsoft WPF: Leveraging Alchemy’s superior .NET environment, Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 now includes a completely new highly visual translation environment for WPF based web applications. No other solution can offer the same comprehensive support across all Microsoft desktop and server based development technologies. (Win 16, Win32, Winx64, .NET (all versions) and WPF.
- NEW Translation Centre for Professional Translators: Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 includes a highly interactive Translator Toolbar that helps professional translators work faster, with higher accuracy and improved project turnarounds.
- NEW Predictive Text for Translators!: ezType(TM) is predictive text tailored for the professional translator. It helps accelerate typing speed by monitoring the keyboard and auto-completing words and glossary suggestions. Tightly integrated into the Translator Toolbar it is an essential productivity tool for any professional translator!
- NEW Extensive Support for XML Content Management Systems: Alchemy ezParse technology has been extensively redesigned to support multi-lingual and conditional-based XML documents. The best bit!, as with all ezParse solutions, these parsers are developed in a highly visual development environment so you avoid writing the code yourself, Alchemy CATALYST does all the hard work for you!
- Enhanced Multi-lingual Expert Technology: All Alchemy Experts technologies have been enhanced to make it easy to work on multiple Project TTKs. This will help Project Managers and Engineers streamline project updates and turnaround times.
- NEW The New Terminology Standard: TBX is rapidly becoming the standard for term-base sharing and lookups. Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 embraces this new standard and displays suggested terms within the Translator Toolbar. You can also export candidate terms to TBX files using the new and improved Export Project functionality.
- NEW Continous quality monitoring: Alchemy CATALYST introduces a new technology that continuously monitors quality, detecting linguistic and cosmetic errors while helping the translator address them quickly and efficiently.
- NEW Keyword Expert: A Keyword is a word or phrase that is to be locked within a translation segment, excluded from word count analysis and protected from accidental translation. This helps reduce the incidents of over translation and helps fine-tune word count analysis to include only those words that need to be translated.
- NEW Machine Translation: Combine the accuracy of TM with the flexibility and speed of Machine Translation. Source segments that cannot be matched in a TM will automatically be sent to a web based Machine Translation service (MT) so that a translator always gets a translation suggestion while working.
- NEW Analysis Expert: Calculate the number of segment matches between project TTKs and Translations Memories, count unique and repetition words and determine how many fuzzy matches can be re-used. Exclude keywords and numerical data from your project analysis so you only pay for what really needs to be translated!The Analysis Expert works with all industry standard TMs (Alchemy Language Exchange, GlobalLink, WordFast, TRADOS TMW, SDL TM Server, TTK, TMX, XLIFF, TXT) to determine how you can maximize the re-use of previous translations and reduce your cost of translation further!
- NEW Thumbnail Navigation for large projects: Navigate large projects using an intuitive and easy to use visual project navigator. This presents the contents of a Project TTK as a series of thumbnail images that can be viewed quickly and easily. Simply click on the thumbnail of the web page or winform and Alchemy CATALYST will locate it automatically.
- NEW Make Your own Alchemy CATALYST: Replace core functionality of Alchemy CATALYST using the new Alchemy SDK 3.0. Based on a COM API framework, replace core functionality, like file operations (insertion and extraction), validate, pseudo-translate etc. with your own custom code modules so that Alchemy CATALYST becomes your Alchemy CATALYST! Tailored for your requirements and that of your team.
- NEW Comprehensive .NET Solution: Only Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 supports all versions of the Microsoft .NET framework. Whether you’re working with MS .NET 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5, everything you need is in one localization solution.
- NEW Alchemy Layout Manager: Automatically create localized layouts for applications using Alchemy Layout Manager. This award winning technology is fully integrated with Alchemy CATALYST 8.0, providing a series of visual tools to dramatically reduce product cycles and significantly increase engineering productivity.
- NEW Support for virtually every TM format: Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 is compatible with virtually every industry TM standard. It supports both desktop and server based TM technology, all integrated seamlessly into the Translator Toolbar. Technologies currently supported include Alchemy TTK (all versions), Alchemy PPF (PUBLISHER TM), Alchemy LANGUAGE EXCHANGE, WordFast, GlobalLink, SDL TM Server, Trados Teamworks, Trados Workbench, XLIFF, TBX, XML and TMX.
- NEW Language Consistency Checker: Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 can automatically detect inconsistent translations and help professional translators resolve these quickly and easily. Designed as a new type of Project filter it can detect situations where source segments are translated differently or when target translations are identical but source segments are different. This is an essential tool for organization that need to achieve the highest possible level of translations consistency in their projects.
- NEW Productivity Enhancements: Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 sees major changes in the user interface which drives more productivity for translators, engineers and testers. As an example, engineers can now visually navigate the contents of a project using thumbnail images; translators can quickly determine how consistent their translations are; translators can now use ezType to accelerate the selection and translation of source documents.
- NEW Alchemy LANGUAGE EXCHANGE Connector: Alchemy CATALYST 8.0 is fully integrated with Alchemy LANGUAGE EXCHANGE 3.0, a server based TM technology. This helps clients centralize their TM assets while sharing access during a localization project.
- Enhanced Total SDL/TRADOS Compatibility: Work seamlessly with past, present and future versions of SDL TRADOS desktop and enterprise technologies such as SDL TM Server, TRADOS Translator’s Workbench (3.x, 5.x, 6.x, 8.0, 2007) and MultiTerm iX Server. No other tool gives you such wide range industry support for 3rd party TM tools.
