This software offers a user-friendly interface for Microsoft Glossaries that can be easily installed. It allows for efficient searches across multiple glossaries simultaneously, making it an essential tool for translators and agencies.
As a software review, WinLexic 2005 is a must-have tool for Technical Translators and Translation Agencies who frequently work with Microsoft software products. It serves as a GUI (Graphic User Interface) to Microsoft Glossaries, which contain a vast amount of multilingual terminology used in Microsoft products. By being familiar with these terms, users can ensure consistency in their translations.
Downloading Microsoft Glossaries is not an easy task due to their large size, which varies between 1.05Mb to 62Mb. To avoid the hassle of downloading them, one would usually resort to purchasing FTP client software to resume broken transfers. Fortunately, WinLexic has a built-in FTP client that is already configured to access Microsoft's public FTP server or its mirrors, thus saving approximately USD30.
Searching through multiple glossaries with NotePad or Microsoft Excel can be a tedious and challenging task. Both tools have limitations on the number of rows they can handle, truncating these glossaries in the process. Furthermore, searching for terms requires users to go through each glossary individually.
WinLexic solves these problems by enabling fast and efficient searches through multiple Microsoft glossaries simultaneously. It offers a range of search options such as source/target search, whole word search, case-sensitive search, and searching for the presence of two terms or phrases in a single string. Overall, WinLexic is a user-friendly tool that simplifies the task of accessing and using the vast amount of multilingual terminology used in Microsoft products.
