Swordfish Translation Editor

Swordfish III is an advanced CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tool based on XLIFF 1.2 open standard, designed for demanding professional translators.

Swordfish III supports exchanging TMX (Translation Memory eXchange), the vendor-neutral open XML standard for the exchange of Translation Memory (TM) data created by Computer Aided Translation (CAT) and localization tools, originally published by LISA (Localisation Industry Standards Association).

Swordfish includes a super fast Internal database server and integrated support for RemoteTM Web Server. You can also use third party database engines like Oracle 10g or MySQL 5.x for storing TM and terminology data.

Swordfish has a rich feature set, including:

Compatible with other CAT tools	Complete Segment Filtering
In-Context Exact Matches	Fully Configurable
Comfortable Proofreading	Advanced Translation Engines

Supported File Formats

Compatible with other CAT tools

Swordfish supports the most common formats used for exchanging translations:

XLIFF	Supported natively. Accepts version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2
Uncleaned RTF	Accepts uncleaned (tagged) RTF produced by Trados or Wordfast and generates uncleaned RTF from regular RTF files.
TTX	Seamlessly converts received Trados TTX files to XLIFF and back. Swordfish has built-in capabilities for segmenting TTX files.
TTX Exchange	Allows collaboration with translators using CAT tools that don't support XLIFF but support TTX format via exporting Swordfish's XLIFF files as TTX and importing translations from the translated TTX files.
TXML	Full round trip (TXML-> XLIFF -> TXML) of Wordfast PRO and GlobalLink files.

In-Context Exact Matches

Easily reuse translations by importing them from previously translated XLIFF files. Swordfish extracts translations for individual segments, considering previous and following ones as context.

Fully Configurable

With Swordfish you are free to customize your translation environment. You can, for example, set your preferences for:

• Fonts and colors
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Language Codes
• Segmentation Rules
• Conversion rules for XML files
• Custom XML catalogs

Complete Segment Filtering

Swordfish lets translators hide/show segments filtering on multiple status options, like: is translatable, has translation, has comments, is approved, etc.

Comfortable Proofreading

Swordfish generates HTML views from XLIFF files that lets translators/reviewers proof read comfortably in the system's default web browser. The generated HTML can be customized by end users, adjusting the provided XSL stylesheets.

Advanced Translation Engines

Swordfish includes two translation engines: a "traditional" TM (Translation Memory) system that provides exceptional matching and Auto-Translation, an exclusive technology that assembles matches from regular TM databases and Terminology databases.

Google's Machine Translation engine and Microsoft's Bing Translator are fully integrated in Swordfish.
