![]() ![]() Factor in a narrower selection of ports (almost guaranteeing you'll need a dongle) and the MacBook Pro isn't just a thinner or different-looking Mac it's one you're meant to use differently. Most notably, they mark the debut of yet another newfangled thing: the "Touch Bar," an OLED strip above the keyboard that replaces the age-old Function bar with touch-sensitive controls that change depending on the app you're using. Both of the new 13- and 15-inch Pros are thinner, lighter and more compact than their predecessors, with faster graphics and disk performance, a brighter, more colorful screen, Touch ID fingerprint sensor and louder, clearer audio. Thanks to that stale design and often neglected internals, many Mac fans out there have delayed upgrading - surely a new model was just around the corner, right? Though we're not sure you all were able to hold off until now, Apple has finally updated its MacBook Pro line, and it's not just a processor refresh either. Though Apple has occasionally refreshed the processors (the last time being all the way back in early 2015), that design from 2012 is virtually the same one we've been reviewing all these years. It weighed 4.46 pounds (a heavyweight by today's standards) and it ushered in some newfangled thing called the Retina display. and helps “debugging” your work.The last time Engadget reviewed a brand-new MacBook Pro design was in June of 2012. But never forget, this is just a mechanical check and cannot judge the overall quality of the translation, it only informs on consistency etc. This is a powerful tool and should always be use as final check before delivery. You have performed your first XBench translation check. You can run again the QA, but this time with the spell-check on. In the “Tools” menu select “Spell-Checking Dictionaries”, select the right language then click on the “Install” button. This will be necessary if you want to perform a spell-check on the bilingual file. It is very simple to add dictionaries in XBench. How to add a dictionary in XBench for spell-checking? Important to note also that the first line shows in which file and at what segment the error is (the number after the file name in parenthesis is the corresponding segment number). See how XBench picked up the word “keyterm” (which doesn’t exists actually, yes □ ) as a Key Term? XBench has spotted that keyterm should be translated sa “mot-clé” but it can’t find it in the target segment as it was replaced by “mot-clef”. – Key Term Mismatch: because we have selected the “Key Terms” feature XBench picks up keywords and make sure the translation is consistent across the document. – Numeric Mismatch: numbers in source and target do not match. – Inconsistency in Source: different source segments have been translated the same. – Inconsistency in Target: same source segment has been translated differently. – Untranslated Segment: obviously the segment has no translation, i.e. One neat feature is that by clicking and selecting an error segment XBench actually highlights what could be wrong there. In this example the errors are of 5 types: The errors are listed by Error Description with the source and target segments next to it so that you can check what is the actual issue. The result is pretty much straight forward.Īs you can see XBench will list up all the errors it found in the file. Go to the QA tab, click on the “Check Ongoing Translation” button. In the next window, also click on the “OK” button. In the next window, make sure to check the box for “Key Terms” as it is used for keyterms consistency check. Open XBench then select “New” in the “Project Menu” (shortcut: ctrl + n)ĭrag and drop the sample file ( First_Steps_with_Xbench.doc_en-US_fr-FR.sdlxliff) in the “Project Properties” window (or select it from “Add…” button). (But as a professional translator it is highly recommended you do have Trados…) If you don’t have Trados, that is still okay you will not need it in this demo. You can download the sample file from here. We have prepared a sample file just for the sake of this demo. Here is the download page.ĭownload this sample. You can either go for the XBench 3.0 30 days trial or start with the free (yes free!) XBench 2.9.
