Bouncerock Workshop
Some bugs were introduced in version 1.1.5. Version 1.1.51 corrects these bugs.
We have collected feedback on a number of important issues with Raiverb version 1.1.5:
We are working on resolving these issues, and a bug fixing version will be published very shortly. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Raiverb has been updated to version 1.1.5, with new important features:
The translatepedia is a new research and learning initiative. You can now choose to publish the content you translate publicly. Unaltered translations will be made available for everyone to review and evaluate.
Sharing servers are free, users will receive complimentary Characters they can use on other servers.
To send your translations over to the Transpedia, you simply need to use any server labeled Share (there should only be one for now). That’s it!
The Transpedia will be available here. (may remain unavailable for a few days, but submissions are taken into account).
With the new sharing feature enabled, it seemed important to clarify the purpose of different existing servers. You can now access to more details through a new Info button. The Info button will give you access to more information and the specific use conditions of different servers. This will help clarify which server is intended for what purpose.
The WYSIWYG Editor has received a few new updates.
– Dual Screen Mode: You can now split the screen into 2 editors, which can be useful to review two languages at the same time.
– Sticky Scroll Mode: You can now lock the scrolling in all input boxes at the same time, making it easier to work with. The Sticky Scroll can be toggled on and off.
You can now import and export JSON files.
You can export to a custom JSON format of your choice regardless of the import format as well.
More flexible import options will be made available in a later update.
Using the term Tokens to quantify Translations Units, while the main metric was [i]characters[/i] was confusing. This is why Tokens have been renamed as Characters. Characters will now signify the measure of Translation Units.
As a reminder, the following elements are taken into account for determining the Characters in a Translation Unit: the source text, the global comment, the current unit comment, the string ID, the alternate language, and the characters limit.
Raiverb has been updated to version (Raiverb 1.1.4), with a few new features.
The Hugely Important Feature:
You can now customize the background of the application, and can pick from cute kitties, whimsical clouds, abandoned temples and of course Wawa United™ themed backgrounds. We firmly believe this is a huge step in the right direction for the constant innovation in the field of computed-assisted translation.
More seriously, on to other features:
– SRT and ASS subtitle formats are now supported. You can import both formats and have them translated and saved.
This comes with a few upgrades that will benefit other formats as well:
– You can now chose to get the Character Length as an option in the Imported interface. What this means is that you’ll be able to tell Raiverb to limit the character length of a translation to less or more than the source length. This is enabled by default for subtitles.
Important note: currently, Raiverb has a Context feature, which can be toggled for processing long-form content (articles, novels, or subtitles), where context comes from the semantics of the content, therefore where Translation Memories may not be relevant.
This Context feature extracts the content around the previous and next Translation Units. This works well, but this approach is not entirely satisfying. Moreover, it is a very resource-consuming feature.
A more specific and efficient approach for long-form text is being worked on. This hopefully will be deployed in the next update.
– CSV and clipboard-imported content now get a delimiter option.
What this means is that CSV and clipboard formats are now more flexible and better supported.
If you don’t know what this means, here’s a short explanation:
When you save a file into .csv or when you do CTRL+C on a spreadsheet, the same thing happens: your sheet is converted into plain text, and the way the computer knows how to split this text into a grid, is with the use of delimiters. We have one delimiter for the rows, and one delimiter for the columns. That’s how you can copy and paste sheets from one software to another.
Now, the catch is: not all software use the same delimiters. Previously, Raiverb assumed the clipboard would use \n, which means line break, and \t, which means increment. That’s the most common case, but that’s not the only one, and that is why now you have the choice.
It is now possible to translate a single Unit. The toolbox at the right of each Translation Unit now shows a button:
Allowing you to translate the Translation Unit.
You can also re-translate the Unit, if you think the translation could use an alternative. The Translate button replaces the WYSIWYG button, that was not really useful since the top Toolbox already provides a WYSIWYG toggle. Therefore, it has been replaced.
Batch processing will skip a Unit that has been translated.
A good bunch of bugs got fixed.
Raiverb 1.1.3 is a maintenance update with mostly bug fixes and UI improvements. Here are the changes.
The Archives Manager now features an explorer, where projects and batches are organized. The navigation is made simpler and faster.
The importer interface will now be faster, the software will not freeze anymore when importing a big file.
Changing the font size in the Translation Center, the Archives Manager and the WYSIWYG editor will now be persistent.
Glossary Manager issues have been fixed.
To download the latest version, head to the “Download” section.
Here is a list of known issues collected from feedback, a fix will be posted at a later date:
Raiverb has been bumped to version 1.1, which is a feature-packed update:
A new LQA tool is now available in the Translation Center. It will allow you to perform meta-linguistic checks on your text.
You can now import a source and target, then check for:
To run an LQA job, simply chose the LQA option under “Mode” and run your job just like you would do for any other mode.
This new feature is entirely free and runs offline.
A WYSIWYG editor has been added to the Utilities panel. It will allow you to edit BBCode or HTML rich code visually without seeing all the tags.
The idea was to facilitate editing or most likely reviewing text with a lot of tags and variables.
The editor will allow you to:
The glossary manager has been revamped.
Language detection has been improved and languages have been added. It has also been optimized to run faster, making Raiverb faster overall.
Matches have been improved for Slavic languages.
You can now chose whether to fill in the source as a target in ignored units.
CTRL+V is now supported for import.
Along with all these changes, the User Manual has been updated.
Due to some issues that needed to be sorted out first, the release of Raiverb had to be delayed a little bit. Well, the good news is we could finally get the thing rolling, and the software will release on Steam by April 9th, and hopefully the standalone version will release at the same time.
A little note about this: the Standalone version and the Steam version will be completely separate and the Raiverb accounts you create on the website will not be able to log onto the Steam client and vice versa.
Raiverb is translation productivity software that combines AI with traditional CAT software features, in order to produce accurate and context-aware translations for projects of any length. It enables in-app review and proofreading, supports image importing, and is compatible with all industry-standard formats.
