Filters

  • Added the DTD Filter

  • Added the PlainText Filter

  • Others

    • Several pre-defined filter configurations have been added or updated: Mozilla-RDF, XML Android Strings, XML Java properties, RESX, Monoligual PO, SRT (Sub-titles), plain-text lines, plain-text paragraphs, CSV, etc.
    • The OpenXML Filter (DOCX, PPTX, XSLX files) has been improved and now provides much inline code simplification.
    • The definition of the parameters for the RegEx Filter have been modified to allow the support of target text, ID, etc. This new format is not compatible with the one of M1.

    • The selection of the filter settings is now done using the new filter configuration mapping system integrated in the library.
    • An experimental interface for creating and executing pipelines has been added (see Utilities > Edit / Execute Pipeline)
    • The creation of OmegaT, XLIFF and RTF translation packages has been modified to handle pre-segmentation and pre-leveraging.
    • Uses the latest libraries.
  • Ratel

    • Better preservation of comments in SRX files; and capability to add comments from within Ratel.
