Visit our website for a series of new products, Carabao Language Kit, which contains both server and desktop components.

Recent Changes

Version 0.42

• Import of idioms
• 'Suppress value' field in measures / metrics which will allow to omit specified numeric values (for example, to convert numbers to text, etc.). It is currently not active yet.

• Menu in data manager

• Importer bugs
• Resize handling in some screens

Version 0.41

• Capability to set a limit for imported lines

• Importer performance & GUI

• More importer bugs

Version 0.40

• Looks like the basic French and English morphology is ready
• System messages which are inserted into content on certain occations. Currently they are active before and after the content
• Style units granted by modifiers
• Fixed Increment in measure conversion; enables all linear conversions without resorting to formulas

• Lexical Unit Sheet does not attempt to re-generate the canonic form when confirming the form anymore

• Importer parsing bugs
• Morphological tagger flaws with phonetic compatibility

Version 0.39

• Finally! A tagger based on uninflected form recognition. It is currently used in mass import - no more "conditional text", just link your tag to designated rule units and the rest is done by modifiers. The tagger is also linked to data entry. Currently the configured rules allow recognizing French and English nouns.

• Jumps to incorrect record when using locator in multilingual tables

Version 0.38

• Capability to hold modifiers that are preserved in canonic form. This will be later used in wordlist tagging & recognition

• Formatting for syntax delimiters by ability to specifying where spaces should be inserted or omitted

• Situation with sequences when the same sequence is found twice or more times in the same sentence
• Phonetic compatibility check

Version 0.37

• Support for compound words and languages that don't use white spaces, such as Japanese, Thai, etc.
• Included document describing the architecture of Carabao

• Canonic form generator now verifies the rule units

• Uninflected form generator

Version 0.36

• "Late sequences" - sequences detected on the target language entries. So far Carabao was crippled by inability to select sequences based on target rather than source language lexical units. For example, to properly translate to English comparative or superlative adjective forms, one needs to know how a respective English adjective is formed (by attaching -er / -est or using "more" / "most"). With "late sequences", it is possible to create a "gateway" sequence which will "export" a member's rule units and then detect where to go from there
• Capability to enter words in a regular uninflected form, rather than Carabao canonic form
• Option to pull rule and style units in sequence member editor

• Nasty rearrangement bug in sequences having "not" and "gap" members in front

Version 0.35

• Tokens table now works in two separate modes, lexical units and sequences

• "Active" flag for languages which controls whether the languages will be displayed in the translation console

Version 0.34

• Rearrangement bug when adding an element with a new identity

• Sequence descriptions now filter descriptions of tokens by rule units

• French language rules for the main database

Version 0.33

• Inability to identify tokens in a language without modifiers (maximum modifer length = 0)

• Capability to display lexicon usage statistics of the translated content

Version 0.32

• Capability to display style and subject statistics (Debug tab in Translation console)

• Semantic link table and details are reset to currently active language rather than the first matching one
• Changes in manual, including a chapter on mass import

Version 0.31

• Thesaurus update mode
• Measure conversion examples

• More French grammar rules
• Fields for designer's notes in the tables of modifiers and languages
• Ability to complement existing database by incremental import
• Ability to convert measure by formula, for example temperature - Celsius and Fahrenheit

• Terms fixed to standard ones
• User's guide
• Field for notes in the table of tokens enlarged
• Selection of proper record from a family of tokens
• In Tokens table, the column holding a token's text now expands or contracts on resize for better viewing

Version 0.30

• Words mass import actually starts to work

• Some measure conversion examples for the default database
• Validation for missing rule units in import mode - no need to guess what's missing
• Unidirectional import mode (without a need for a second validation dictionary)
• Capability to display a message when starting the data manager

• User's guide. It is still full of inconsistencies and errors, but is getting fixed gradually

Version 0.29
