SYSTRAN MultiTranslate Utility (SMTU)
• SYSTRAN Professional Premium
SYSTRAN MultiTranslate Utility (SMTU) is designed for users who perform a large
number of translations. Using SMTU, you can place documents into groups (or
“batches”) and translate them in one operation. You can add documents to batches
individually or as entire directories (folders).
To optimize translations, SMTU lets you specify general and document-specific
translation options. It also supports terminology extraction aggregated for the entire
set of documents. SMTU supports TXT, RTF. DOC, HTML, XML, XHTML, PPT, XLS,
and PDF documents. It also supports TMX-formatted files. SMTU also lets you
translate Web documents by specifying the Web page’s URL. SMTU provides a “Web
crawler” that lets you extract and translate the content of a website.
For users who prefer command-line interfaces (CLIs), SMTU provides a CLI for
automating the translation process.
For more information, see Chapter 8, Using SYSTRAN MultiTranslate Utility (SMTU)
on page 91.
Common Components
For ease of use, SYSTRAN 5.0 applications share common components. The
following sections describe these shared components.
SYSTRAN Toolbar
The SYSTRAN Toolbar is common to most SYSTRAN 5.0 applications. You use the
Toolbar to translate from an original (or “source”) language into a different (or “target”)
language. The SYSTRAN Toolbar also provides buttons you can use to modify your
translation. Since the applications in SYSTRAN 5.0 offer different capabilities and
features, these buttons may vary between applications. Figure 1 shows the
SYSTRAN Toolbar and the suggested order in which you use the components on it.
The Toolbar buttons have tool tips. If you place the pointer over a button, a tool
tip identifies the button’s function.
