Main Features

Continuous localization

Localization should not be a single task that you perform after everything else but an ongoing process that continues throughout the product lifetime. Using Soluling, you can make continuous localization process a part of your development process. You can start localization at an early phase of the development, and the localization process continues simultaneously with the whole development lifetime. Soluling provides multiple ways to translate your projects. With Soluling, you can build and deploy localized applications even several times a day.

Supports most formats

Soluling can localize most files and database types. You can localize desktop applications, tablet applications, mobile applications, web applications, documents, data files, and databases. Every format we support, we support 100%. It means that if you have properly internationalized your files or databases, Soluling can localize everything, including user interface, strings, menus, images, audio, videos, subtitles, data, etc.

Importing

Importing is an important feature of a localization tool because, in many cases, you might have existing translations. For example, you might have already localized files from where you want to import translations. Soluling can do that. It can also import translations from more than a dozen glossary/terminology or data files, including TMX and Excel. Soluling can also convert your existing Sisulizer project files.

Pseudo translation

The pseudo translation is a technology that emulates the target language. A pseudo translator generates a translation from the original string. The translation is not real and but it uses the same script as the real translations, and it also has other features of real translation such as strings expansion. You can use pseudo translation to test how your application and user interface work on a different script and different strings lengths.

Translation memory

Translation memory helps you to reuse translations. It stores your translations, and if the same or similar sentence appears again, it can either automatically translate it or suggest a translation. Translation memory translates or suggests when you select a row that contains text having a match in the translation memory. By default, Soluling creates a local translation memory that only you can use. You can also create a shared translation memory that all members of your team can use. Soluling can also use 3rd party translation memories. Translation memory can be used in interactive mode as you translate or in a batch mode.

Machine translation

Machine translation is a technology that automatically translates sentences from one language into others. There are several excellent machine translation services on the cloud, such as Amazon, DeepL, Google, and Microsoft. Soluling can use them all. All these services use or can use neural machine translation. Microsoft Translator is a free service of up to 2 million characters per month. Google Translator is a paid service but provides slightly better quality, more languages, and is very reasonably priced. Amazon, DeepL, and IBM are paid services. Soluling also contains Quality-Translate technology to get translations from several sources, analyzing them, and selecting the best match.

Validation

Validation is like spell checking, but instead of checking invalid spelling, validation checks other issues from the translations. This will automatically detect most errors translators do when translating projects. As spell checking validation also works as you type, showing validation errors.

Internationalization API

All programming platforms have some internationalization API that lets you write code that can be localized. Most platforms contain a resource string concept, composite format or interpolated strings, date, time, and number formatting. Some platforms contain API for more advanced features such as plurals and genders, abbreviated numbers, or ordinal numbers. However, most platforms are missing some of the features. Our internationalization APIs fill the missing gaps. We have also implemented new APIs such as file dialog format filter, runtime language switch, and user interface checking. Soluling contains features such as plural editor that makes working with those API even easier. Our internationalization API is an open-source.

Standards

Soluling does not use any proprietary binary format. The main principle of Soluling design was that if there is a standard, we support it. For example, Soluling supports Unicode, regular expressions, XML, JSON, XLIFF, TMX, TBX, SRX, base64/32/16, and many more.

Hidden id injections

Samples

In most cases, a sample is more valuable than dozens of pages of online help. This is why there is at least one sample application or file for every file or database formats we support. The start view contains samples panel where you can quickly browse and open sample projects.

Frequent builds

File formats change all the time. A new version of your favorite development tool or software platform might have a new kind of resource data. This requires that your localization tool is up to date. We make frequent builds that add support for the newest file formats and newest development tools. Soluling can automatically update the current installation to the most recent one. You only have to accept the update once Soluling recommends it. This way. you can make sure that you always use the most recent build that contains support for the most recent file formats.
