Release Notes 5/7/2020 - Wordbee Translator

New Wordbee Translator features and enhancements released on Thursday, May 7, 2020:

[NEW] [Word count] New Machine Translation word count profile for Repetitions
This development adds 2 exciting features:
(1) Repetitions are now highlighted in the Translation Editor with a small [R] icon. This goes hand in hand with the recently added filter option for repetitions.
(2) A new option is available on the word count profile: "Settings" > "Word counting" > "Pre-Translation by Machine Translation". Tick the option "Do not machine translate identical repetitions" to enable this setting in your project. As a result, the segments that are identical repetitions within the same document will not be translated by machine, but left blank. Instead, they will be counted as identical repetitions in the word count.

This new development aims to reduce the MT translation costs. For example, you can use the new word count profile in specific post-editing workflows where you do not want to pre-populate repetitions until the first occurrence has been post-edited.

The Flex log file now provides the following information:
* Commits are now word counted and counts are included in the log.

The language code for Chichewa (Malawi) is now displayed correctly everywhere in the system: Chichewa (Malawi) (ny-MW​).

[FIX] Invoices: Inconsistent total amounts in web and Excel view
The inconsistency was due to the fact that the system calculated the invoice totals based on the initial values, whereas in Excel the decimal values were rounded up. Now the invoice total amount is consistent with the Excel value and it is calculated based on the decimal points configured.

    Good morning!

    It is no longer possible since the release to expand or shrink segments. Before segment 2 and 2-2 could be merged for example. This is no longer the case...

    We were also wondering why the source segments now also have a status?

    Thanks!

    Kind regards,

    Petra

    Hello Petra,

    Regarding, your first inquiry, we are aware of the issue and our development team is working on a fix to address this.

    This will be fixed under reference WM-4860, you may open a ticket if you wish to follow up closely on the fix.

    As for the second point, I'm afraid this is not fully clear as there hasn't been any recent change in the statuses of source segments with them always having status bar next to them.

    We will be opening a ticket on your behalf for further discussion on the second point and to provide more clarification.

    With Regards,

    Salma
