Project Manager

The new Project Manager lets the user view the statistics of many TTK projects without opening them. The translation progress is displayed as a colored progress bar along with detailed statistics that can be exported to a file.

The comprehensive set of filtering and sorting functionality, together with the dynamic updating of the total wordcounts, makes this new pane a very powerful, easy to use and useful tool for any user who handles hundreds of TTK files.

New Experts

The new Duplicates Expert extracts duplicate segments across any number of TTK files into a duplicates TTK, at the same time marking the exported text in the source TTKs, in order to avoid translating the same text more than once.

After the translation phase, a new ad-hoc Leverage function applies the translated text to all the original TTKs.

The Lead/Trail Spaces Expert automatically detects and fixes all the segments where extra spaces at the extremeties were introduced during the translation phase.

File Support

Alchemy CATALYST 2021 brings its powerful features set to the world of RoboHelp Projects. Just drop in your .rhpj file to securely translate, visually engineer and confidently validate your RoboHelp projects.

The .ePub e-book file format is supported by many e-readers and compatible software is available for most smartphones, tablets, and computers. Simply insert the file in your project and Catalyst recompiles its contents for translation.

Validation Expert

The Validation Expert has been enhanced with a new and quick way to store and load sets of Validation tests and settings: switching to a completely different set of tests has never been so easy.

Moreover we enhanced the tests with the following options:

• Glossary match only within specific inline tags: This check is an extension to the existing Glossary consistency check. Users may check in all segments or only against text found between ANY or specific inline tags.


• Shunted inline tags test: Identify any segment where inline tags have been moved to the very start of the translation. This occurs during Leverage or Power Translate where fuzzy matches or differences of inline tags between source and TM force Catalyst to move inline tags to the front of the translation.


• Incorrect spelling dictionary selection: Users no longer have to stop while in the middle of selecting from the list of validation checks to select a dictionary in Settings. This is now configurable from the Incorrect Spelling check.

Miscellaneous Features

JSON files: the JSON ezParse rules now support parsing elements as Memos of strings at the same level. Creating and editing a parsing rule is now easier thanks to the possibility to append new elements from different JSON templates. Finally, segmentation rules are now applied to JSON files too.

Images management: The management of projects including large amounts of images, such as MadCap and Robohelp projects, is made really easy with the Export and Import All images tool.

Users can export all images from an active project into a folder, maintaining the project's structure. This grants the ability to effortlessly harvest and review all images to send to an editor for localization needs. Once all images are returned, simply import back into the TTK project to apply localized graphics. Available as a ezScript™ Command Line too.

Faster saving time: With the industry continuously producing larger projects, changes were made to the TTK format to improve saving times. Catalyst now uses parallel processing whenever possible, maximizing the use of hardware resources.

Timestamp for translations: a Timestamp has been added to every segment in the String List View, to keep track of date and time of the latest change to the target text.

Automatic Get Translation: A toggle button has been added to the Translator Toolbar (Toggle Automatic Get Translation ) for users who wish to pre-populate every selected segment with any 100% match available in the Active TM & MT.

Validation Results Pane

The Validation Results Pane provides an organized way to display the issues reported by the Validation Export or the Automatic Validation. Issues are added to the list where they can be grouped by Validation Test, Resource type, File, etc. and they can be searched and filtered. Moreover, issues are automatically marked fixed as you select and fix them.

Navigator

The main Navigator has been enhanced with the following features:

1 Project file count: a simple but very useful addition to the Navigator window, a file count now shows the number of files inserted in the project.

2 Flexible Expand/Collapse of nodes: Expand and collapse nodes in the Navigator window without changing the selection in the string list, for a faster navigation. Use the CTRL key when clicking on nodes to expand/collapse recursively.

3 Right click option to copy file path: Collecting and sharing information is easier with the new command that lets you copy file path, file path & name or just file name.

4 Search and filter any text: Search any text in folders, filenames and resource names in the Navigator window.

Locks & Keywords Editor

Keywords files are now in xml format and they come with a brand new editing tool which makes it easier to setup, review and manage the rules to automatically set keywords and locks to your projects.

Miscellaneous UI Enhancement

Entries in the Results Windows can now be filtered by type (Info, Warning, Error) using the new toggle buttons at the top of the pane.

Moreover, as with the Navigator, the Results entries can be searched for any text.

The Translator Toolbar can now be customized: Source and Target edit controls can be vertically switched.

Drag & drop TM and Glossaries: Simply drag & drop your Translation Memory and Glossary files into the appropriate locations. This includes attaching TM, MT, Glossaries, the Clean Up, Analyses, Validate and Leverage Experts!

Segments from frozen resources marked red: Segments from a Frozen resource in the Navigator window are easily identified with their Parent ID and ID displayed in red. This makes it easier for translator users to see why a segment cannot be edited!

Verifika Connector

This add-in enables Catalyst projects to be sent directly to the Verifika tool using the profile of your choice.

In order to use the Verifika Connector, Verifika must be installed and a valid registration key applied. The Verifika Connector is included by default in the Developer/Pro edition.

Contact sales@alchemysoftware.com to inquire about getting the Verifika component added to your license if using the Localizer or Translator/Pro edition.

New Translator Toolbar Layout

The Translator Toolbar has been re-designed with a cleaner look that facilitates focusing on the translation activity. Changes to the Reference pane will make it easier to spot differences between the Source text and the Reference text, while the color coded percentage match will further speed up the translator's job.

A new character-based algorithm to highlight the text differences replaces the old word-based algorithm.

Properties and Terms panes

Properties and Glossary Terms have been given their own dockable panes, so that both can be visible at the same time, and moved to any position.

The new Properties pane has been completely re-designed and now it includes

- a main Memo field

- a New Translator Note field, where translators or reviewers can add a note to the project manager, without modifying the main memo.

Both fields can be collapsed and both change background color when they contain text: a little touch that facilitates browsing through the TTKs.

The properties values are now displayed in rows which make it easier to spot modified values (shown as bold)

TTK compression

Catalyst 2019 introduces a new compression algorithm for TTK files which dramatically reduces the file size for Translation Toolkits projects. Moreover, the user can decide the compression rate to use, optimizing speed vs final size.

The minimum compression settings still generate smaller TTK files than previous versions. The highest compression, while taking longer, produces the smallest files and should be used before transferring files over the network.

Text Parser Enhancements

Catalyst's powerful Text Parser has been further enhanced with the possibility to automatically parse Reference links (to images, videos or extra documents) together with localizable text.

Moreover, the order of the parsing methods now can be changed by simply dragging and dropping.

Parse HTML inline tags: a new option is available to enable parsing HTML tags as inline in the same way they are automatically parsed for HTML and XML based files.

Acrolinx Sidebar

Acrolinx Sidebar functionality and Platform API have been added into Catalyst 2019. You can now validate your segments using the Acrolinx Sidebar. An Acrolinx login is necessary for this. Contact Acrolinx for more information.

Labels

Customers have often asked us for custom statuses or segment tags to mark segments at different stages of the localization process. Catalyst 2019 introduces the concept of segment Labels.

In Catalyst 2019 Labels are customizable color-coded tags that can be applied to segments, and used for various purposes: as a temporary way to mark strings during the localization workflow, for organizing the work during the review process, or as permanent way to mark certain segments for various reasons.

Labels are leveraged from older projects, stored in Alchemy .tm files, and can be used as a filter for advanced searches and the String List view. Moreover, Labels can be easily exported and imported to be shared within your team.

TM Editing

Alchemy multilingual .tm files now can be opened and edited directly in Catalyst 2019, after the clean-up process. This in-demand feature will facilitate the management of your own TMs.

Group by Status

Another feature often requested by our customers is the re-introduction of a String List filter with all segments grouped by status. This feature, once available in older versions of Catalyst, had to be sacrified to use a new string list control that would support hundreds of thousands of segments.

Catalyst 2019 now has a new Group by Status filter which shows all segments, divided into status groups that can be easily expanded or collapsed (and still supporting hundreds of thousands of strings!)

XML Parser Enhancements

Catalyst's powerful XML parser has been dramatically enhanced:

• Elements or Attributes can be parsed as Memos of other Elements


• Elements or Attributes can be parsed as Context Links of other Elements


• Selected elements can be parsed as HTML


• Each CDATA element can be parsed with a different Text or HTML parser.


• Elements can be multiselected and set to be parsed as HTML or Text.

Miscellaneous Enhancements

Catalyst 2019 contains many other enhancements in every aspect of the software.
Here is a partial list:

• Catalyst 2019 now supports High DPI monitors.


• Visual View for documentation files (.doc, & .pdf), Powerpoint and XML based files.


• HTML parsing for embedded content in .resx and WPF files.


• Project Division enhancements.


• Insert Files & Folders allows filtering, resulting in smaller TTKs.


• Duplicates settings allow customization of digits and symbols to ignore during text comparison (applies to String List sorting, Inconsistent Translations tests, Duplicates translations)

New File Support

• FrameMaker: Alchemy CATALYST 12 adds the ability to parse FrameMaker documents. From within FrameMaker, documents can be saved to the MIF interchange format. Localize this exchange format in CATALYST along with its software related product files to increase translation consistency and quality. Translated MIF files can be further edited in Adobe FrameMaker for any post-translation layout modification that may be required.
  
  
• SVG: Scalable Vector Graphics are XML based files which are now added to the XML File group in the ezParse rules. Used widely in the web environment for its scalability, include this format to your localization projects and use the Visual View mode to review in your translations in context.
  
  

Text based files enhancements

• Parse memos and max length: The ezParse technology in Alchemy CATALYST 12 has been extended to offer the ability to parse memo and max length information. Using regular expressions and groups, you can now identify localizable segments to have either ID, Max Length and Memo.
  
  
  
  
• Encoding selection on file extraction: A text based file can be inserted in Catalyst regardless of its encoding. However, depending on the language you are translating into, the encoding may not be suitable. Catalyst 12 now allows the user to select their desired text file format on extraction, e.g. UTF-8, UTF-8 without BOM, Unicode etc.
  
  
• Visual view: CATALYST 12 enhances its standard as the best Visual Localization tool by adding the text based file format to the visual view. Work in split view mode to select individual segments for translation and instantly view it in context in the Visual View pane. This increases the quality of translations as the active segment is highlighted and reflects any change made in the translation toolbar.
  
  

Faster performance

• New Leverage Expert engine and improved Fuzzy match results: This release introduces a new Leverage Expert engine (DICE). This brings not only faster performance but better matching results for fuzzy matches.
  
  
• Faster string list display: A complete overhaul of the string list (in the workspace window) has been implemented bringing lighting fast speed to selecting resources in the Navigator window and displaying all the localizable strings within.
  
  
  
  You will find that coupled with the improvements made to the Filters, QuickFind and the Find & Replace features, this greatly enhances the user's experience working day to day on your CATALYST projects.
  
  
• Faster Startup time: Several changes have been implemented to improve CATALYST 12's startup time.
  
  
• Analysis Expert + customizable Fuzzy bands: As with the Leverage Expert, the Analysis Expert has been optimized for improved performance in calculating the leverage expectations from your available Translation Memory sources. This is reflected in much faster analysis. And to further enhance this invaluable tool, the Fuzzy band brackets are now configurable so you can evaluate word counts on your projects using only the Fuzzy bands agreed at your organisation or with your vendors.
  
  

UI Customization

Together with better performance, Catalyst 12 also introduces new ways to let the user customize the User Interface, globally via themes, or down to several single elements of the IDE. More themes and colors customizations will be available in the future.

GlobalLink Project Director connector

Catalyst 12 introduces a new connector to integrate with GlobalLink Project Director, a web-based platform providing powerful business process automation, flexible integration capabilities, translation vendor management and project workflow capabilities. For more info and price plans, contact sales@alchemysoftware.com

Segment History

New Segment History: For the first time, CATALYST 12 will record all the changes made to every segment when saving a TTK. The records also include date/time and the user saving the TTK. This functionality, together with the new Segment History pane and the new Segment History filters in the string list, will allow determining what segments were modified by a certain user, or in a certain time frame, or when is the last date any segment was modified, etc. The new Segment History pane also allows comparing the several versions of a segment translation and re-applying an older version.

Find and replace

The enhanced Find and Replace now allows searching for text in inline tags, keywords, context links, etc... and in segments filtered out by status or containing flags or locks. In other words, you'll have maximum flexibility in locating and modifying text even in the largest projects. Furthermore, two results windows are now available, allowing the user to move between each set of results without overwriting either.

New Features

• Customizable string list filters: Filtering the string list to display only strings with specific statuses, locks, memos and other metadata is vital to efficiently manage your work whether you are a translator, reviewer or localization engineer. Together with a comprehensive list of built-in filters, it is now possible to create several custom filters including any possible segment statuses and metadata, for maximum flexibility. You may even share your favorite filters with colleagues by exporting your user settings.
  
  
  
  
• Prevent modifying locks or MT in TTK projects: In some cases, locks have been removed by translators to translate strings which shouldn't have been. This often results in bugs in the localised version of the project. CATALYST 12 offers the ability to prevent locks from being removed (or added for that matter) in your project TTK. And this can even be password protected!
  
  Similarly, you may prevent the use of Machine Translation sources in the project if you do not accept the quality it offers. This is important considering a user can leverage translations from Machine Translation and mark all the strings with the For Review status, overwriting the MT translated status.
  
  
• Add highlighted zone for Context links: In CATALYST 10, Context links were introduced as a new available metadata to add to individual segments. The context link is a great means of attaching visual context information by hosting a screenshot or document online, or alternatively give the reference files along with the TTK. A feature widely appreciated by all our users.
  
  With CATALYST 12, you can take this one step further by highlighting a specific section of the screenshot making it easier and faster for the translator or reviewer to see the selected segment in context.
  
  

Term Harvest

Term Harvest also gets a major upgrade in Catalyst 12 by producing bilingual terms list, where the translation of terms is detected via a sophisticated identification algorithm. Context is also provided for both source and target text, so the user can manually fix or adjust the automatically generated list of terms.

New Software File Support

• JSON: Java Script Object Notation is a software resource format containing name-value pairs, sometimes in a hierachical format. The ezParse technology in Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 has been extended to offer a rules based approach to identifying the parts of JSON that need translation (similar user interface to xml and text parsing).
  
  
• Ribbon Controls: The best way to achieve a right-first-time translation is to have as much information about a segment as possible at translation time. In the case of a Ribbon UI, this requires seeing the segment in full context. Continuing its tradition of visual localization, Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 presents Microsoft Ribbon Controls with a full visual display as well as the standard string list of segments.
  
  

New Documentation Support

• Microsoft Word: Just like software files, Microsoft Word documents can now be simply dropped onto the Catalyst environment to start translating. Alternatively, include them in your scripts and automatically create translation kits with your doc(x) files.
  
  
• Adobe PDF: The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely used format for presenting documents in a way that is independent of hardware and software. Its global adoption means it must often be localized for new markets. Alchemy CATALYST 11 now supports this process and extracts segments from PDF for translation and localization. The translated output is a doc file which can then be converted to PDF if needed.
  
  

New Design Format Support

• InDesign: Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 also adds the ability to read and write InDesign documents. From within InDesign, documents can be saved to the IDML interchange format. IDML is the format supported in Catalyst. The IDML can be further edited in Adobe InDesign for any post-translation layout modification that may be required.
  
  
• Microsoft Power Point: Presentation files ppt(x) are parsed in Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 with segments presented for translation and localization in the same way as any other format.
  
  

Pseudo Translate Expert

The Pseudo Translate Expert in Catalyst has aided countless development teams to better internationalization processes. It is a very flexible engine that covers language definition, text expansion, substitution, replacement as well as pre- and post-segment characters. Though extremely thorough, there was one enhancement that was frequently requested - users wanted more control over the level of text expansion. Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 delivers on this request by offering the ability to define different expansion rates based on the length of the source segment. It means short strings such as 'Ok' or 'Save' can be expanded by up to 300%, while longer sentences may only need 30% expansion. Not only that, but this latest edition also facilitates text reduction too.

Interoperability

• XLIFF Export/Import: Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 adds the very exciting ability to export content from a Catalyst project to the industry interchange format - xliff. The Developer Pro edition boasts the new feature that exports Catalyst source and target segments as well as additional information such as locks, memos, context-links and translation states to xliff. The modified xliff document can then be re-imported back into the Catalyst project meaning the translation of Catalyst projects can now happen in Catalyst or any xliff editor.
  
  

Translation Memory

• TM Machine Translated & Fuzzy Status: When leveraging from translation memories, Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 maintains more detail about the TM segment's status. For Review and Signed Off states were always maintained during a leverage, but Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 goes further and maintains the Machine Translated and Fuzzy Matched states of segments that have them. This is important in an agile process where linguistic review may not happen at every cycle.
  
  
• TM Details: Our linguists requested more information about the source of translation memory hit. During the translation process when translation memory hits are offered as suggestions, Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 gives detailed information about the TM segment. New information such as where the TM hit came from and it's translation status are displayed prominently in the Reference tab of the Translator Toolbar.
  
  
• TM Penalty: It is sometimes desirable to apply a penalty to segments coming from a particular TM. This could be if trying to distinguish between multiple TM sources, or if a particular TM is deemed to be of poorer quality. Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 makes this a simple matter by offering the option of applying a percentage based penalty at the TM level.
  
  

Updated User Interface

• Ribbon UI: Catalyst is known for being easy to use. The three core windows of Navigator, Workspace & Translator Toolbar form a logical paradigm that facilitate selection, viewing and modification of content with in a project. This model is maintained in the latest release, but Alchemy CATALYST 11.0 adopts a Ribbon user interface to bring more of the features to the attention of users. The features are presented in logical groups and are easier to access.
  
  
• Layout: the arrangement of windows is updated to use screen real estate more efficiently. With access to the Experts via the ribbon, more space is devoted to the Translator Toolbar with larger areas for key aspects such as source, target and TM areas. Memos and segment properties are more logically presented and permanently visible.
  
  

Term Harvest V2.0

The initial release of Term Harvest saw the feature expertly tuned for identifying terms in software content. The new document formats supported in this edition of Catalyst required a change to how terms are identified. Term Harvest needed to become much more intelligent and much more language aware. It is now a full natural language processor that identifies terms in your content comparing usage statistics in your content with general usage. It scores and ranks the most likely terms. It comes with a new editing environment for honing the term list and facilitates this process to be done over a number of sessions by saving the list to continue at a later stage.

New Experts

• MS Visual Studio 2010: Launch the localization of your Visual Studio projects by simply dropping the project file into Alchemy CATALYST. The application reads your standard and .NET project files (*.csproj, *.vcproj or *.vbproj) creating TTKs with all the localizable content.
  
  

New Features

• Automated Segment Locking: Keyword or sub-segment locking significantly improved the linguistic quality of projects localized in Alchemy CATALYST 9.0. The latest release gives this feature wings. In addition to sub-segments, users can now lock entire segments by ID or by content patterns using regular expressions. Engineer your projects once only and store the locking information in a separate file for use across all projects and by anyone on your team.
  
  
• Machine Translation: Machine Translation sources are an integral part of Alchemy CATALYST 10. Assuming users have selected to allow MT on their projects, the new 'MT' status distinguishes between human and machine translated content. The MT functionality dovetails with Translation Memory (TM) lookup such that any segments with no TM match are automatically machine translated.
  
  
• Search: Search by ID, search memo content, Find and Replace by regular expression, search only last results. Significant user requested productivity features that have become part of Alchemy CATALYST.
  
  
• Cloud Hosting: Build and Share with your industry colleagues! View online or download available ezParse rules, Validation tests and Pseudo Translation Languages.
