Crystal Translator Freelancer for Crystal Reports automatically extracts translatable objects (text objects, plus parameters, alerts, and literal text inside formulas) in Crystal Reports. Store the translation for each object in a database. If you later modify a report, you already have the translations in the database; localize the formats for dates, times, currencies, more. Free Trial Download Available.

Crystal Translator can store the imported translations in the translation memory database. This allows Crystal Translator to automatically pre-translate all the texts that have not changed from your new source reports. You can concentrate on "what changed" in the future versions of your reports.

• Text object, data fields in text objects are supported.
• Text in graphs.
• Text in report parameters.
• Formula returning text value. Translated formula are validated automatically after input.
• Text in report summary such as title, keywords.
• Text in alerts.

For additional info, see the tab Freelancer v Pro v Enterpise.

For example, imagine you translated an English report with Crystal Reports into French and German. Previously, if you had to make modifications in the English report you had to either:

• Make the same modifications to the French and German reports. This can be done only by the report developer.
• Re-translate from scratch the new English report into French and German.

However, let's say you have Crystal Translator. It will store the previous translations in its TM database and will automatically pre-translate the new source report for you. You now have to translate only what has changed. This shortens turnaround time and saves resources.

What other power does Crystal Translator provide you? Here's a list:

• Immediate preview of the resulted target report as you translate with resizing capability.
• Words count analysis and fields count of translatable objects before or during translation.
• Date, time, currency, number format and font localization.
• Translation editor with multi-line capability.
• Support Unicode and font replacement.
• Extensive pre-translation options.
• Comprehensive online help and samples included.
