Easter Update available with new features for TLex, tlTerm: XLIFF, TMX, spellchecking, Excel import

Our Easter Update for TLex (lexicography), tlTerm (terminology software), tlDatabase (any kind of data), tlCorpus (concordance software) is now officially available.

New features include integrated spell-checking (Windows-only for now), a new Preview Area toolbar, Excel importer, TMX mode (open and view Translation Memory eXchange documents), XLIFF mode (open and view XML Localisation Interchange File Format documents), 'generic XML mode' in which one can open any XML document, bulk-import/convert data from TMX or XLIFF to tlTerm, a new extensions system, and more right-to-left (Arabic/Hebrew/Yiddish etc.) improvements.

We have also posted several new tutorial videos, including one showing briefly how to set up the spell-checking, and a new general 'Getting Started with tlTerm' tutorial video.

Note we also have a (very) informal development live-stream where you can check out development.

All existing users may update for free. To try it out, just update the usual way, e.g. 'Help/Check for updates' etc. (unless you're on a special version of TLex). If your version number under Help/About ends in .2000 or higher, you have the Easter Update. Send us any feedback or bug reports.

Version 2012 (and free upgrades) now available

Version 2012 of the following products is now available, and all 9-digit License Numbers have been updated for free to this latest version:

• TLex Suite (TshwaneLex)
• tlTerm Standalone
• tlCorpus Standalone
• tlDatabase

For a list of new features in these releases, please see the ChangeLog. There are well over 100 new features and improvements since the release of version 2010.

The procedure for obtaining the upgrade is as follows:

1. Go to our website's 'downloads' section
2. Select the relevant product download page for your license
3. Click on the download link, and follow the installation and activation instructions

If you don't know your 9-digit License Number(s), you can use the "Software License Recovery" tool accessible from the 'Support' section of our website, or from the downloads page. Alternatively, you may contact us to obtain your license numbers. (The 9-digit License Number allows you to automatically activate the software when installing. ALL customers' licenses have previously been assigned these 9-digit License Numbers.)

Please note that version 2012 is still backwards-compatible with ALL previous releases of our software going all the way back to version 1, so no users have been 'left behind' - all users can update to the latest versions.

Note that, as always, we recommend making a backup of your data before upgrading.
