• Workflows
• Source Files
• Costs
• Comments
• Reports

New tabs on the Job Details page

You can jump straight to each by right-clicking in My Jobs.

Filtering by Match Type in Pop-up Editor

You can now filter by match types in Pop-up Editor by clicking Filter.

Filtering in Pop-up Editor

You can filter by:

• All
• All except ICE
• All except ICE and 100%
• ICE Only
• 100% Only
• Repeated
• Repetitions
• All worked on segments
• All comments

Downloading Several Jobs as one Combined Translation Kit

You can now download several jobs as one single translation kit.

The kit is contained in one single zip file that includes one bilingual file, one TM file and one terminology file.

Select the jobs and click Download Combined.

You can then upload the updated content as one single zip file.

Exporting Frequent Segments

You can now export repetitions when working offline. The repetitions can be saved into a TM and then leveraged against the existing project by updating the leverage and the word count.

The result is 100% matches.

Select Include Repeated Segments as Separate File when setting your offline download options.

Opening GlobalSight Documentation

You can now open this GlobalSight User Documentation library by clicking Documentation in the main menu.

More Information on Translator Upload Errors

You can now find more information on each upload error by clicking the link in the error message.

The link goes to the latest Troubleshooting error message descriptions and solutions.

File Profile and Localization Profile added to the Online Jobs Report

You can now view the File Profile and the Localization Profile in the Online Jobs Report.

Text Formatting in Target Segments

Text formatting is now supported when translators are editing text in the target segment.

Translators can now use the standard text formatting options:

• Bold
• Italic
• Underline
• Superscript
• Subscript

You can now add and remove tags as needed. The target no longer needs to have the same tags as the source.

The feature is available for both FM and docx files.

IDML support for InDesign CS6

IDML files are now fully supported with Adobe InDesign CS6.

Enhanced Inline Editor

GlobalSight's Inline Editor now provides much of the functionality as the previously more advanced Pop-up Editor.

Inline Editor works faster and the GUI is familiar to users working with Trados.

Automatic Export of Target Files

Project Managers can now define whether the target files are exported automatically when the workflow activity starts.

The export works in the same way as clicking Export in the Job Details page.

Simplified Download Options

The settings for downloading files for offline work have been consolidated into a smaller number of options.

New download options

Changes:

• Format: you can now mouse over to view the suggested editors when selecting the format required
• Tm Options replaces Insert resources as. The options are consolidated into:
  • Annotations
  • TMX File – 1.4b
  • Both (TMX File 1.4b and Annotations)
  • None
• Allow Edit of Locked Segments provides the options:
  • Allow Edit ICE and 100% Locked Segments
  • Allow Edit ICE Locked Segments
  • Allow Edit 100% Locked Segments
  • Deny Edit
• Include Repeated Segments as Separate File is added

Fields removed:

• Editor is removed. The formats above are not tied to editors
• Encoding: the default encoding is always used, so no other option is needed
• Consolidate TMX Files is removed. Files are always consolidated
• Consolidate Terminology Files

Improved Navigation

All Status now shows as All Jobs and All Activities in My Jobs and My Activities respectively.

Uploading Offline Reports in .xlsx Format

You can now upload both the Translations Edit Report and the Reviewers Comments Report in .xlsx format.

You no longer need to save the files as .xls.

Reports visible to project users

Reports can now be added for Localization Participant users by the superadmin.

Instance ID added to offline files

A GlobalSight Instance ID has been added into files downloaded for offline work.

The ID helps the user and the GlobalSight team to track which server the files are uploaded to.

Machine Translation Content Distinguished

The content on which MT was performed is now marked accordingly in both the online editors and the offline kits.

You can also filter by Machine Translation in both Pop-up and Inline Editors.

Text Formatting in Target Segments for pptx Files

Text formatting is now supported for pptx files when translators are editing text in the target segment.

OmegaT for Offline Work

You can now translate offline with OmegaT.

OmegaT is a CAT tool used for offline editing.

Warning for Non-translated Segments

Translators are now warned when they click Task Completed on an activity that still contains non-translated segments.

Localization Profile on the Activity Page

Translators and other users can now see which localization profile is in use on the Activity Details page.

Users are can quickly see which kind of setup is being used, without having to open each file. For example, if MT is being used or not.
