Version 2020 released of TLex, tlTerm, tlCorpus, tlDatabase (with 64-bit support)

Version 2020 is now available of TLex Suite (Lexicography Software), tlTerm (Terminology Software), tlCorpus, tlDatabase and tlReader.

This release includes leading new features like 64-bit support in both Windows and macOS, offering scalability with the ability to load massive termbases like IATE EU TBX-format terminology - nearly a million entries/concepts, with many millions of terms, which tlTerm can import with its TBX importer.

The new 64-bit support also helps TLex more easily work with massive dictionary projects, e.g. historical or encyclopedic dictionaries, as it unlocks the full system memory for use in the application.

The new macOS release is also compatible with the new (64-bit) macOS Catalina.

Version 2020 also includes many performance improvements to help speed up working with very large terminology databases, dictionaries or translation memories, and includes a TMX importer to help view or search Translation Memory data.

Watch tlTerm easily load a ~2GB termbase in this how-to video, where we load the IATE downloadable TBX (TermBase eXchange) data containing millions of EU terminology terms. We only make this look easy.

Valentine's Day Software Update ❤ Coming Up

We're preparing a new 'Valentine's Day Update' ❤ 💾 (to be released 14 February*) that adds extra new features for version 2018 of tlTerm #terminology software, TLex #lexicography software etc.

* This has now been released - the release announcement is here: Valentine's Day Software Update 2018

The screenshot shows upgraded Microsoft Word integration functionality, new Excel integration, and also shows (in the new Multi-Document Smart-Search), amongst others, auto-searching in TMX files (Translation Memory eXchange, here using EU science hub open TMX files for demonstration purposes) and TBX/XLIFF files, and also shows the OERTB 11-lingual South African Open Educational Resource TermBank within tlTerm.

(This potentially allows, for example, a TLex/tlTerm user to 'at their fingertips' access and see search results from within large Translation Memory's like the downloadable EU TMX data, while they work, either from within TLex/tlTerm or the Word/Excel plugin popup window. You can also e.g. load in your organization's own Translation Memory's or e.g. XLIFF or TBX (TermBase eXchange) data to this 'Multi-Document Smart-Search'.)

TLex/tlTerm users will be able to get the update by simply using the usual methods for installing updates (e.g. the "Help/Check for updates" menu.)

TermNet Membership

We are pleased to announce that we are now a member of TermNet, the International Network for Terminology. See our tlTerm page for more information about our terminology-related software/services; we have also created numerous online terminology websites, as well as terminology Apps for iOS and Android (Play Store).

tlTerm is the terminology "cousin" to our TLex lexicography software; below is a short introductory video:

Version 2016 RC (Release Candidate) released of TLex, tlTerm, tlCorpus and tlDatabase

We've released Version 2016 RC1 (Release Candidate 1) of TLex Suite, tlTerm, tlCorpus and tlDatabase. This is a pre-release leading up to a formal Version 2016 release in the near future.

All existing users' licenses will be upgraded to the latest version automatically and for free (existing license numbers can be used to activate either version 2016 or version 2013). (Users currently on version 2013 or earlier are advised to update to version 2016. You do not need to do anything 'special' to upgrade - if you follow the 'usual' instructions for updating, you will automatically receive version 2016 RC on your next update.)

For a detailed list of what's new, please see the changelog: http://tshwanedje.com/support/changelog

Version 2016 RC1 includes over 130 new features since the last major release of our software.
We'll also soon be announcing significant new functionality in TLex Online (online dictionary/terminology publishing platform), and our electronic dictionary publishing platform also now includes a sophisticated "self-building" system that allows clients/publishers to build new releases of their electronic dictionaries themselves.

Please contact us if you have any inquiries.

TLex Suite 2013 released - free upgrade available

TLex Suite 2013, tlTerm 2013 (Standalone), tlCorpus 2013 (Standalone) and tlDatabase 2013 are now available. There are over 150 new features and improvements.

All users have been upgraded free to version 2013. (See 'how to upgrade' below.)

Survey

• We'd like to hear from you what are the main new features or other improvements you'd like to see from us - please complete our customer survey: http://tshwanedje.com/survey/

Looking Ahead: Version 2014

• Upgrades will remain free for the upcoming version 2014

• We have many new features on the cards for version 2014, including 'edit-in-Preview' functionality, LanguageTool spellchecker integration, and much more. Other ideas in the pipeline include possible 'cloud' multi-user editing or 'instant online' dictionary publishing services with our TLex Online platform. Watch the ChangeLog, or follow our blog, Twitter, or Facebook pages.

Need a Custom Feature?

• We gladly add new features on request, and regularly do so for our customers (this is typically quoted at our hourly programming rate). One of our strengths is our rigorous automated software build and test processes that allow a potentially fast turn-around time for integrating requested changes - for small feature additions, it can theoretically be as quick as 24 hours from request of feature, to being in the official release and on the customer's "desk"! So contact us for a quote if there's anything, big or small, you'd like added.

• Just a reminder we also offer paid support. Pre-paid 'support packs' can be purchased on our website.

• Free tutorial videos are also available on our website, and we also offer paid training via the Web or on-site.

How to Upgrade

• To upgrade, use 'Help / Check for updates' from within the software and follow the instructions, or download the latest via the 'Downloads' section of our website. (As always, back up your data first.)

• License Numbers will work for both v2012 (or earlier) and v2013. If you already have v2012 installed, you can upgrade without re-activating.

• Version 2013 remains backwards-compatible with all previous releases going back to version 1, so no users have been 'left behind' - all users can update to version 2013.

Showcase: Focal.ie CD-ROM of the National Terminology Database for Irish

TshwaneDJe did the software development for the CD-ROM version of the National Terminology Database for Irish.

“The software can be run directly from the CD-ROM or installed on your computer. It enables you to search a copy of the terminology database www.focal.ie while offline ... there is also a plug-in for ... Microsoft Word. This plug-in searches the CD-ROM automatically for terms which are typed or selected in a Word document.

Features:
• Bilingual interface
• Fast and powerful search that can deal with inflected forms, minor spelling errors, whole words or parts of words, single-word or multi-word terms, and more
• Alphabetical listing of terms
• Microsoft Word integration on Windows
• Runs from the CD-ROM or installable to hard drive
• Easy to update”

This was created using our Electronic Dictionary Publishing platform, which has also been used to create other products such as the Oxford South African School Dictionary CD-ROM, and we'll be announcing more new products in the near future created using this platform.

If you are interested in publishing your dictionary or terminology electronically and affordably, contact us.

Software Tutorial Videos

Just a reminder to our users, free online tutorial videos are available for our software. (We've also recently added high-quality versions that can be downloaded for offline viewing or distribution here.)

Feel free to distribute these as widely as you like.

tlCorpus Beta Available!

We are currently signing up beta testers for tlCorpus, our new standalone concordance software application. Beta testers will get a free copy of the software. The program is open to anyone interested. You can apply online by clicking here.
