Presentation+Tools is a set of tools for the translation industry. +Tools works on Ms-Word 97 and higherversions (Ms-Word 2000 Ms-Word 2002 Ms-Word 200! and higher versions on a "#$ aswell as on Ms-Word 9% and higher versions (Ms-Word 2001 Ms-Word & Ms-Word 200'

and higher versions on a Ma all )* inluded fro )*7 to )*&$.

+Tools is ostly used ,y translators that work with Wordfast (www.wordfast.net$. Mostfuntions do not atually reuire Wordfast ee/t for alignent and ter etration. +Toolsis freeware.

+Tools rests on a /owerful file e/lorer (u/ to 1000 files an ,e seleted in u/ to 1000reursed su,-diretories$. This faility lets you /erfor searhre/lae statistis aroeeution onversions file tagging et. on hundreds of files in one single ation.

/ro,le is that sine even 2:> haraters are not enough to aoodate all


24/29


The urrent trend is to avoid entities (they inflate the si@e of the ?TML /age are slower to/roess and transit and diffiult to read if you have to diretly edit the ?TML /age in tetode$. The /ro,le is a si@a,le /erentage of the ,illions of ?TML /ages out there are stillontaining entities (or worse a iture of 5I* haraters and entities$ and soe deision-akers having liited knowledge of the uestion or ,y fearunertaintydou,t of not ,eing

This anual does not /retend to ehaust the su,Aet8 aserious translator /retending to loali@e ?TML should look for training or turn to

"lusTools an do two things to alleviate the /ro,le skethily desri,ed a,ove8

1. #onvert entities found in ?TML douents into real 5I* haraters when tagging files.

2. #onvert 5I* haraters ,ak into entities when untagging.

4e/ending on the strategy devised together with your lient you an use only /oint 1 or only/oint 2 or ,oth. sing 1 ,ut not 2 will result in oderni@ing ?TML /ages (whether theyontain entities 5I* etended haraters or ,oth as is often the ase$. ut then ake surethe ?TML /age has the orret harset definition in its header3s eta tag.
