And we have them in our previous post. To
clean the translation memory of one of our largest and oldest
customers, we use retrenchment which we import in an Excel worksheet, and
chose theologian program to edit the memory. The memory had
thousands of segments, and X bench reported us more than sixteen
thousand inconsistencies. It was a work of long hours, but we leave airy,
we tell them how.
With our return of Excel to view and open
in Defoliant memory time to unify the inconsistencies. As the person who
made the task quite known customer, in the majority of cases it knew what was
best, but always that doubt arose could consult with managers in charge of the
project, who, in turn, would consult with the client.
For changes in memory, he had no more than
run "Search and replace" (Ctrl + H) in Defoliant, paste the
"non-preferred" version and the "favorite" (by calling them
somehow, since there was not always an incorrect) in the corresponding boxes,
and make the relevant replacements. Although there is the option of
replacing everything, in this case it wasn't a way to implement changes that
would give much security. Sometimes, the segment that must be modified is
composed of two or three words which also appear in the other instance as part
of a sentence, and replace everything without analyzing each case can lead to
introduce errors.
Like almost all programs, Defoliant also
offers options that the capitalization match, make that whole word match and
use regular expressions. This last option was us truly useful when it
comes to reviewing the figures. As the customer is engaged in the
technology industry, many of his writings are littered with figures:
dimensions, quantities and capabilities...
