Parsing Files

Hello, I don't know exactly where to post this, so I'm trying it here. I think it's funny to be the first real poster here besides that viagra ad, lol.

I work for a translation localization company, we're still somewhat new to software translation in general. Up until now we've been using Alchemy Catalyst for our software translation, but due to a lot of bugs and bad performance issues we're trying to wean (sp?) ourselves away from it. However, I REALLY miss the custom file parser! Is there any way to do define my own parsing rules in Lingobit Localizer?

Here's an excerpt from a file I'm working on.

UPDATE [PersonnelType] SET [Name]=N'None',[Description]=N'None' WHERE [ObjectID]=1;
UPDATE [PersonnelType] SET [Name]=N'Employee',[Description]=N'Employee' WHERE [ObjectID]=2;
UPDATE [PersonnelType] SET [Name]=N'Contractor',[Description]=N'Contractor' WHERE [ObjectID]=3; go

What I want to translate is the content between the ' for Name and Description. ("None," "Employee," and "Contractor")

In Catalyst I would be able to tell it to translate everything that starts with "[Name]=N' " and ending with ', same for Description.

This has infinite uses for me, and I really miss this feature, so I'm wondering can this be done in Lingobit and I just haven't found out how yet?

Thanks :)
Megan

Hello Megan! Thank you for your first question. Let's begin with first real answer :)

Lingobit Localizer 6.0 will support .sql files with the same format as you described. Later we'll add support for custom text formats.

Lingobit Localizer 6.0 will be released in about 1-2 months. Beta version is available at www.lingobit.com/l60.exe.

Best Regards,
Michael

Thanks Michael! I'm glad to hear that!

Is there any intention to add a custom file parser in the future? It really is my favorite feature in Catalyst that I miss very much.

Also, I've been using Lingobit more in recent months and otherwise am very much enjoying it! I like the reports pretty well, although my project managers might have a few things they'd like to see added sometime. We use Trados for the majority of our non-software translation projects however, so the ability to export to tmx lets us access the file and translations and use Trados to do further analysis of the files.

Thanks,
Megan

Thanks, Megan! We are going to add custom format in the next version. It will be released in 3-4 months. I'll send you beta version when it become available.

Regards,
Michael

Marvelous! I can't wait :)
