Here are the release notes: MAJOR NEW FEATURES Lion autosave and version support Ignoring certain placeholder string Automatic Xcode Project Import NEW FEATURES Added support [...]

How automatic layout works

Unfortunately I have been very busy the last weeks in doing other things than the Loc-Suite. This is kind of the problem with side-projects. However, I want to share something with you that has been lying around here for quite some time now. As a reader of the blog you should know that I am [...]

Labeling it RC

Just a quick heads up: I labeled the latest nightly build to be a release candidate. 3.0rc. Finally. This is the official end of beta phases – at least for version 3.0. Right now I’m sitting in my plane to WWDC waiting for taxi. If any one would like to meet – just drop me [...]

The most gorgeous Icons. Ever.

Here’s the details: Bundle-based documents: The previous file format of the databases (the files you edit in the [...]

Editing the Reference Language

Up to some weeks ago I have always been convinced that it is absolutely not necessary to be able to edit the reference language from within the Localization Manager. This makes the process very clear: “We create all localizations from the reference files and only read those. We won’t touch them even if you’d want [...]

Dictionary Integration

Just today, I have finished a great series of nice new features around dictionaries in the Localization Manager. So here it goes: First, of course, you can open and load dictionaries and files like it’s in Localizer. This is needed for the following features. Trivially, this enables support for automatic translation. While the best place [...]

Segmentation

Today I can proudly announce another nice new feature in the Loc-Suite: Segmentation. Basically this is the process of splitting a longer string into multiple parts. Examples for segmentation are paragraphs, sentences or words. I’ve implemented this functionality in form of an engine in the frameworks. Currently there are two usages: First, the matching. While [...]
