#transtools — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, FYI y'all, I was chatting with Stanislav Okhvat (of #TransTools) earlier today, and it seems he's got a tool for use in MS Word that will allow multiple searches using (a) just ordinary text search & replace, (b) Word wildcards and (c) honest-to-God .NET regex like I use to build most of my work libraries. And it looks like these can be managed easy for use by those who aren't particularly technogeeky.

I just got a license for testing, and if I like what I see (as I usually do with his work), I'll include it in my workshops next month. I have several client scenarios where the editors are totally CAT-phobic and want to work only in MS Word, and this looks like a great tool to help them clean up some of the formatting trashed by MT or careless human translators.

And in case anyone is wondering, the results can be brought back into the translation management system in #memoQ or #Trados Studio using that monolingual review that Susan Starling and I dreamed up over a decade ago....
