WordFisher for MS Word

WordFisher 4 has been completely rewritten. The main purpose was to make it more translator-friendly, and to incorporate as many features from commercial Translation Memory (TM) programs as possible. It can be used with MS Word for Windows version 6 and above, including Word 2002. It seems to work with Word 2003 as well; however, you are advised to test it first with some non-critical documents.

WordFisher's User Manual has been translated into several languages. In addition to the original English version, it is already available in Czech, German, French, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. A shorter Quick Guide is also available in several languages.

WordFisher's main features

• Translation Project management - WordFisher presents a simplified TM-like environment for the translator. Automatically creates a simple folder and file structure for managing the project. Indexes documents, and utilizes the indexes to synchronize source and target files, as well as to navigate in the project. Several search and replace functions have been added to enhance the translator's productivity. It can create a bilingual table containing the matching sentence pairs from the source and target files. The translator can collect these tables for future reference and use them as his translation memory. These tables can later be read into any full-featured TM program.
  
• Glossary management - You can add new entries to glossaries without leaving the document you are working on. With the help of WordFisher's Quick Alignment and Glossary Builder modules, you can easily build glossaries by aligning a document and its translation and selecting the corresponding terms.
  
• Enhanced Find function - You can search in user-defined groups of files, using logical operators with two search strings.
  
• Enhanced Replace function - You can replace strings in one or more files. Replacement operations and options may be logged and they can be re-used again to pre-translate other files. This is a built-in function in the translation project management module.
  
• Alignment - You can align a document and its translation on screen.You can synchronize the files at any time while working on them. The module offers Synchronized scrolling as well. In addition, WordFisher has its own Aligner module to create a translation memory corpus from old translations.
  
• Consistency Check - This unique feature enables translators and agencies to check in a group of aligned files whether the required translations were used in a project consistently or not.
• Trados support - WordFisher can convert its translation corpus into Trados readable format.
