Remember, most of these new features and improvements are free of charge, so you better hurry and download the SP7 from the link we provide down below.

New features and improvements in Transit NXT

• The expanded and configurable machine translation interface supports not only web-based services like Google Translate and iTranslate but also trained MT systems.
• Microsoft spell check dictionaries are now used, supplementing the existing Myspell- or translation-memory-based spell check functions.
• Numerous other new features, such as selective import of Excel cells and PowerPoint slides, translation of footnotes and indices in full context and combined statistical analysis of multilingual translation projects, are designed to assist project managers and translators alike.
• The list of supported file formats has again been expanded, with OpenOffice, LibreOffice and other OpenDocument formats added.
