What is new in SDL Passolo 2007

SDL Passolo 2007 is now available!

The latest version of the state-of-the-art software localization tool is now available to help reduce further the time, effort and cost involved in your user interface, (UI), localization projects.

What is new in SDL Passolo 2007?

SDL Passolo 2007 offers a wide range of new features that accelerate software time-to-market and improve translation quality.

The new version greatly optimizes both manual and automated localization workflows, either as a stand-alone application, or when integrated with other SDL products such as SDL Trados and SDL MultiTerm. The enhanced add-in for .NET 3.0 supports localization of Microsoft WPF (Windows Presentation
Foundation) applications in a fully visual environment.

Corporations, Language Service Providers (LSPs) and translators can now benefit from cutting edge technology, which enables localization of software created on the most recent Windows development platforms. The new SDL Passolo 2007 offers the most comprehensive integration with SDL Trados products, both desktop or server. Additionally, SDL Passolo 2007, to deliver superior performance, is fully compatible when translating XML and HTML SDL Trados tagged formats.

The seamless integration of SDL Passolo 2007 with SDL Trados and SDL MultiTerm brings maximum leverage and improved consistency throughout all the stages of software development projects to:

Boost efficiency
Drive additional revenue
Complete software localization projects faster
Increase the number of simultaneously translated target languages

Translation quality and consistency depends significantly on terminology management and the context information provided. Apart from direct access to SDL MultiTerm terminology databases, SDL Passolo glossaries can also be used to highlight terminology in segments to be translated.

New text render add-ins allow to view segments of text files, XML files and Java files in context. Links can be added to any segment to provide even more context.
