What's new in TranslateIt! Deluxe 14.1 Build 14101

Feb 10, 2012
  • For work of TranslateIt! now Mac OS X 10.6+ required
  • Active Zone (AZ) "first time" help tooltip now hides on AZ-move
  • Updated splash image
  • Growl framework updated
  • "Hide from the Dock" option was restored
  • Added support for Firefox 5, 6, 7, 8 (see FoxyHub at the download page)
  • Updated some profiles for Online-services
  • Added removing of legacy deprecated contextual menu plugin (use Services as replacement)
  • Free text translation tool was removed from the product, and now we're working on detached free app
  • TranslateIt! is Intel-only now
  • Search wildcards: Search results are now sorted alphabetically
  • Enhanced compatibility with Mac OS X 10.7 (first iteration)
  • Various minor bug fixes and enhancements
  • The pop-up translation window and the widget now support searching for words with typos
  • The main window's search function now supports wildcards, which is useful for solving crosswords and playing other word-based games.
Available wildcards:
? (any single character) and
* (0 to 4 characters, you can use several instances of the * wildcard to increase the number of characters).
This function only works for normalized dictionaries in the new TID format!
Example: he?m*t
Would match the following entries in English dictionaries:
he might
helmut
hermit
helmet
he must
Note: Processing of complex requests may take some time and memory resources.
Don't forget that you can request all entries matching your request string as a prefix by hitting CMD-Enter or CMD-OPT-Enter.
  • Better detection of delimiters when importing entries from a file to a user dictionary in the dictionary editor
  • Online-service editor bug fix: Selection remaining at the same position, or the last service being deleted, when deleting services
  • Bug fix: TranslateIt! would not automatically check for updates on startup, if this option was set to "Always / Every time"
  • Some localizations and GUI components updated

  • In order to meet the MAS requirements, and for canonization purposes, TranslateIt application support folder was renamed to "TranslateIt" (without "!"). Dictionaries installed in the old support folder will be automatically detected. (Don't delete the old application support folder, as TranslateIt! will use links to dictionary files in their original location instead of moving them to the new application support folder!)
  • Dictionary converter now respects custom header sorting in certain dictionaries in order to fix the bug that resulted in bad dictionary index and missing entries in versions 12.9, i3.0 and i3.1. To fix this problem in already converted dictionaries, use DictionaryAnalyzer (available on the TranslateIt! web site), or re-compile your dictionaries in version 14 or higher
  • DictionaryBuilder and Widget are not a part of the application any more (to decrease the size of the basic application bundle and updates.) However, they are still available as separate products with DictionaryAnalyzer
  • The Firefox & Thunderbird integration module (FoxyHub.app) was removed from the basic application package. The updated integration module (version 3.0.3) is available on the TranslateIt! site as a separate download and now supports Firefox 4 beta

  • Added support for group and morphology settings in property files of TID dictionaries
  • Support for TID containers (that include some additional objects like MDICT packages) and automatic installation of TID dictionaries from ZIP archives
  • Various minor bugs fixed

  • New: More TID dictionaries in TranslateIt! version bundled with dictionaries
  • Update: Bundled dictionaries updated to include additional entries (aliases and normalization for dictionary entries)

  • Update: Enhanced processing of links inside entries in the popup window and the widget
  • Update: Added a backup translation mechanism to the text translation tool
  • Because of some changes in Mac OS X, from now on, integrity checks of binary files will be declarative only, the application will not display any messages or quit
  • Minor bug fixes
  • New proprietary dictionary format (TID), to be enhanced in future releases.
As an example of a TID dictionary, TranslateIt! With Addons now includes the English-Russian Computer Dictionary in TID format.

F-Script framework look up priority is the following: ~/Library/Frameworks/, /Library/Frameworks/, and the application bundle (the lowest priority) (compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 or later)

F-Script activates only on user request. However, it is possible to enable activation on TranslateIt! launch:
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!ActivateFScrpt -bool true
You can also add the F-Script menu item:
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!InsertFScriptMenu -bool true
  • Lightweight proxy-interface to automate common operations via F-Script.

Examples are shown below separated by comma (all calls come to the special "ti" proxy-object):

ti translateCurrentWord, ti translateWord:'clever', ti cloudTranslation:'smart', ti onTheFlyTranslation, ti addWordToHistory:'test', ti setShortTranslation:'description', ti detachCard, ti speakWord:'super', ti speakCurrentWord, ti openMainWindow, ti closeMainWindow, ti translateText:'hello world', ti quiz, ti quit, ti historyWordsCount, ti prevHistoryWord, ti nextHistoryWord, ti firstHistoryWord, ti lastHistoryWord, ti prevTranslatedWord, ti nextTranslatedWord, ti closeQuizWindow, ti stopQuiz, ti show, ti open, ti close, ti print, ti printEntry, ti printNote, ti printHistory, ti printCards, ti copyEntryToClipboard, ti copyNoteToClipboard, ti historyWord, ti historyShortTranslation, ti historySelectRow:1, ti entryText, ti entryText string, ti noteText, ti noteText string, ti showConsole, ti openObjectBrowser

If you need more commands, don't hesitate to mail us, and we'll implement interesting requests in future software versions.
  • Support for external F-Script commands via the x-translateit protocol (e.g. x-translateit://do?ti+quiz, x-translateit://do?ti+showConsole, x-translateit://do?ti+openObjectBrowser) as an additional method of external system integration
  • Added Web documents recognition: Now you can drag a URL (of an HTML-page or an online-hosted PDF-file) from your browser's address bar or a web page to the TranslateIt! Dock icon, or to the TranslateIt! main window (or just copy and paste a URL to the TranslateIt! search field), and you'll get its translation via the Full text translation tool

  • Fixed broken automatic post-configuration of TranslateIt! helper scripts for MS Office
  • Links in the Help menu updated

defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt GTIDontAutoTranslate -bool YES
To re-enable:
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt GTIDontAutoTranslate -bool NO
  • Users can bind a group of dictionaries with a certain morphology module
(Different morphology modules for various dictionary groups instead of the same module for all dictionaries.)
Newly created groups inherit the last active morphology module.
It is recommended to check all your groups to set correct morphology modules (one-time operation.)
To disable support for different morphology modules for groups (restore the old behavior), enter the following command in Terminal:
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontUseAssignedMorphologyForGroups -bool YES
To re-enable:
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontUseAssignedMorphologyForGroups -bool NO
  • For the Firefox & Thunderbird module: fix for non-standard RDF-configuration creation when starting up necessary TranslateIt! components from paths containing symbols &, , " that need to be replaced with XML/HTML-entities.
  • The Firefox & Thunderbird integration module will be automatically updated to version 3.0.1
  • Enhancements in automatic integration with the Services menu depending on the context (Manual enabling in the Snow Leopard system preferences is no more needed.)

  • Switching of dictionary groups, if any, from the contextual menu of the TranslateIt! Dock icon and status bar item
  • Switching of morphology modules, if any, from the contextual menu of the TranslateIt! Dock icon and status bar item

defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontShowDictionaryGroup -bool YES
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontShowGrammar -bool YES
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontShowIntegration -bool YES
To re-enable the above menu items:
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontShowDictionaryGroup -bool NO
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontShowGrammar -bool NO
defaults write ru.DeepIT.TranslateIt TranslateIt\!DontShowIntegration -bool NO
Groups can be switched from application preferences, the main window toolbar (optional button), status bar item, and the contextual menu of the Dock icon, so the Groups menu is actually not that necessary.
For now, grammar support is available for a limited number of languages, so the Grammar menu is only a distraction. No you can disable it.
You can also set up integration once, and then disable the Integration menu
