Sisulizer FAQ

Q. What is the best way to convert my translations from another tool to Sisulizer?

A.The best way is to import the data from the localized application.

Create localized files using your old localization tool.
Click File > New to create a new Sisulizer project.
If your old project contains several files, click Project > Add Source to add additional source files or databases.
Right-click the column header of the language that you want to import to, and choose Import to open the Import Wizard.
Browse to the localized file name and complete the wizard.
That's all. And you do not lose any translations.

New: If you are using Multilizer? 6.x you can simply use File | Open in Sisulizer to import your .mpr file.


Q. How can I import Microsoft's Glossary files into Sisulizer?

A. Importing the glossary is very simple:

Download the glossary and unzip it
Open Sisulizer
Select Tools | Translation Engines from the menu
Select Documents
Press the right plus button  and follow the wizard
You can now use the glossary like any regular translation memory in Sisulizer.


Q. So far we use an own solution to localize. It stores all translations into databases. Can Sisulizer help me with that?

A. Sure. You can use Sisulizer to translate your databases. If you add new forms and string to you project you should use resources. This way you can migrate seamless from the old system and profit from Sisulizer's visual editor.
