PowerTranslateT is the collective name given to a number of powerful features added to Alchemy CATALYST 6.0 to help professional translators be more productive and efficient in their work. PowerTranslateT enables translators to automatically translate files within a Project TTK, do concordance research on a term and interact with virtually all known TM formats.

 

 

For more information on the PowerTranslateT toolbar, please refer to PowerTranslateT Toolbar.

1.  Load the file PowerTranslate.ttk into Alchemy CATALYST.

2.  Select All Strings Mode by clicking  and select the group Dialog from the Project Navigator toolbar. This will display all the strings from every dialog box in the project workspace.

3.  To view all strings marked For Review, select the filter From Review from the PowerTranslate Toolbar.

4.  To view all strings marked Untranslated with Locks applied, select Untranslated with Locks from the PowerTranslate Toolbar.

5.  To view all Untranslated strings, select the filter Untranslated from the PowerTranslate Toolbar.

 

To auto-translate your files using the PowerTranslate Toolbar, you firstly need to define an Active Translation Memory:-

1.  Select CATALYST Options () from the main project toolbar and select PowerTranslate from the list of options displayed on the screen.

 

 

2.  Locate the file CATALYST40_EN_JA.TTK and select this as your Primary  TM.  Then select the OK button to activate your primary TM.

3.  Select the Dialog group from the Project Navigator and ensure that you have your Translators toolbar active as shown in the screen shot below.

 

 

4.  To translate the current string using your Active TM, select Open () using the mouse or the shortcut key combination [Alt]+[Shift]+[Home]. All matching translations will be displayed in the Translators toolbar.

5.  To search your Active TM and automatically select the most appropriate translation and apply it,  use Open/Get Translation() or the shortcut key combination [Alt]+[Home].

6.  To move to the next string and search for translation in your Active TM, select Open Next/Get Translation or the shortcut key combination [Alt]+[Ctrl]+[Home].

 

Using these three features or shortcut key combinations it is possible to quickly and efficiently translate the contents of your Project TTK using Active Translation Memories and Glossaries.

 

	Open	[Alt]+[Shift]+[Home]	Open current translation unit and searches for potential matches in active TM. Displays suggested translation in the Translator Toolbar.

	Open Next/Get Translation	[Alt]+[Ctrl]+[Home]	Opens next translation unit, searches for potential matches in the active TM and applies  translation if found.

 

Use Auto-Translate() or [Alt]+[*] key combination to translates all 100% matches automatically, starting with the currently open translation unit and stopping at the next fuzzy match.
