Which loc tool for PDB, DBT, FWD, MDX, DBF, CMF? Auteur du fil: Jan Sundström

Hi all,
I received a project with a lot of database files and resources for UI strings in the above-mentioned formats.
Some I can open in textpad, visible as plain text, others seem to contain data, others again can be opened in a hex editor.
What is the best approach to handle these files?
Are there loc tools that can export the strings to Trados or similar CAT tools?
I stumbled upon this tool called Sisulizer, but maybe there are other, better... See more Hi all,

What about Passolo, Catalyst, RC Wintrans - would any of them be applicable for this kind of job?
TIA,

I found out through the client that these are files from a Siemens S7 control system.
We're supposed to translate the comments between the actual program code, all in all 25 000 lines.
Does anyone here on Proz have experience how to handle the export/import to any loc tool or CAT tool, so that we won't touch the code by mistake?
Best,
Jan

You may want to take a look at some open source software. The Enlaso L10N tools (Rainbow, Album, Horizon and Olifant) are available here: http://www.translate.com/technology/tools/index.html
Their most recent version is the Okapi Framework: http://okapi.sourceforge.net/

The Okapi Framework is fairly recent and is therefore not as stable as the L10N suite was. You may want to try both to see which works best. I have not used any of these yet for localization purposes - I've only tried Olifant for TM management and it is very handy. However, I do know that one of the purposes of the L10N package and Okapi is precisely the exporting of translatable programming code to formats that can be dealt with using TM software like Trados, Wordfast, etc., for localization purposes.
Take a look - hopefully this will help ▲ Collapse

Thanks Viktoria,
This looks really promising!
I will definitely try this out. Great advice, I had no idea that this existed.
Best,

hi! try converting them into tabbed ASCII and reimport after the tranlation is over. Best Brandis
