Hands-on #1

In this section we have selected a couple of screenshots that demonstrate how Glossy can spare you time and simplify your life as a translator. After you have read this page please go on to sample 2 (web page translation) and sample 3 (all about languages).

1. Your first document

You have installed Glossy and you now want to translate a Word, text or RTF document. Start Word, open the file and click on the "Parse" button on the Glossy command bar:

(this button will highlight all terms found in your glossaries)

Have a look at the results below: All terms exactly (or closely) matching entries in your glossaries are highlighted. Move the mouse cursor over a term and the translations appear right before your eyes.

Click on a button or press a keyboard shortcut to insert the translation at the cursor position. Or let Glossy automatically replace all highlighted terms with their translations in a single step:

2. The advanced search tool

It goes without saying that Glossy also lets you run sophisticated searches in your glossaries:

3. Glossy and Microsoft Word

You will never need to leave Word when you work with Glossy. When you run Word Glossy is also activated.

You can continue using the Word spell/grammar checker or any other Word functionality. Glossy, always ready but unobtrusively!
