The WebTranslateIt Blog

You can now quickly add terms to your WebTranslateIt TermBase without leaving the translation interface.

In the translation interface select a word or a group of words, click on “Add to TermBase” in the toolbar and a modal window will let you add the term your selected to your TermBase.

It’s a great way to add new terms on the go.

I hope you will find this improvement useful. Thank you for using WebTranslateIt!

I just released a new feature to WebTranslateIt: Project Activity Feeds.

Project Activity Feeds are a great way to see what is happening on a project. All the actions happening on a project are logged and displayed on your project overview page, where you can easily see who did what, and why it happened.

By default, recurring actions are grouped by type and displayed as a short excerpt.

You can dive into the details by clicking on “See changes”.

Need to see what a colleague did on a project recently? You can filter the activity feed by user:

Click the user’s name to view her activity:

If you’re into RSS, Project activity feeds are also available as an Atom feed. Just click on the “Atom Feed” icon to get your project activity.

WebTranslateIt supports 4 new file formats:

• .yml files for r18n, as used by the r18n rubygem

• webL10n files, as used by the webL10n library,

• TYPO3L10N, a specific file format used by Typo3,

• jQuery-globalize, a file format used by the jQuery-globalize javascript library.

New in WebTranslateIt: voting for translations in the Term Base is now a bit more democratic! Every translator in the project can now upvote or downvote a translation.

Using this feature, your team can now easily decide of the translation of the key words of your application.

Do you use a TermBase file made of a spreadsheet file (Microsoft Excel .xls or .csv files) or perhaps you have a TermBase Exchange (.tbx) file?

You can now upload these files to your WebTranslateIt TermBase in order to get useful suggestions while translating.

WebTranslateIt recognize 2 kinds of term files: Term Base Exchange (TBX) files and spreadsheet files (Excel or CSV).

If you’re using a spreadsheet file, it must to be organized in a very specific way. At a minimum, WebTranslateIt requires your spreadsheet file to be organized like this:

You can optionally add a Part of Speech (eg. noun, verb), which will be imported in the TermBase:

Or a definition:

Or both:
