Transit SP 8: Good news for project managers and translators

With the new Service Pack 8, the STAR Group has significantly expanded the functionality of the Transit NXT translation memory software, at no additional cost to the user.

This release focuses on segment-level revision management for multistage translation and review processes. It enables users to filter by revision, compare different versions of a project and export project-specific revision reports.

Projects from other TM systems are also supported via additional third-party formats. By pretranslating projects using your own translation memory, you can further increase the speed and efficiency of the translation process.

The machine translation feature has also been expanded with additional machine translation systems (such as Microsoft Translator, MyMemory and AsiaOnline).

With the new WebVTT format, STAR is underlining the growing importance of subtitle localization with segment-precise playback of the audiovisual context.

Prior to the launch of Service Pack 8, new plug-ins for InDesign and FrameMaker were released. With the latest plug-ins, Transit NXT also supports InDesign CS2 to CC 2014 and FrameMaker 7 to 12, including synchronized document viewing in the integrated PDF Viewer.

This pack also includes additional improvements to quality assurance, project sharing, segment filtering and the TermStar NXT integrated terminology management system.
