Hi! managing the interface was not the problem I was talking about. I already have huge TMs which I cannot use with this tool and the Tm in the tool doesn´t given an option to export to a .tmx format. Generally said one is less free while working with this tool or do you know a way that may be a possibility enhancing this tool or work-around. Best Brandis

A fine program... for amateurs Jun 13, 2006

AppTranslator is a fine program for amateur translators, but not for professionals. You can't import and export TMs, nor can you export to any format which can be translated in a TM program. You can only export to AppT's own format, which can only be read by AppT (and it's a binary format, so you can't simply open it in Notepad).

Truly, I fail to see how AppTranslator is any better... See more

Truly, I fail to see how AppTranslator is any better than the freeware program Resource Hacker, at http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/. At least with ResHack you can export all resource files to plaintext RC files (although you have to compile them before importing them back into ResHack).

I'm not sure how to compile VC++, though.

XLIFF support soon, says developer Jun 15, 2006

According to private correspondence with the developer, the next version of appTranslator will have native import and export support for XLIFF. Right on!

That is kind of you. I was given version 1.2 client side, it doesn´t do many things. Apparently the project is still in testing phase, I haven´t heard from the outsourcer since over a week. Best Brandis
