Xbench

What is Xbench ?

Xbench provides simple and efficient quality assurance management and terminology in a single package. Simply upload files in any of the numerous supported CAT formats and take your translation quality to the next level.

All terminology at your fingertips

With Xbench you are just a hotkey away from your terminology. Just upload your bilingual references to Xbench and press Ctrl + Alt + Insert from any Windows application when you want to find a term.

A zillion input and count formats

Add terminology sources in the most common CAT formats, including TMX, XLIFF, Trados, Wordfast, MemoQ, Deja Vu, IBM Translation Manager, and many more. All of these formats are presented in a common results window so you can focus on the terminology and not the application you came from.

Spell check all instantly

Easily scan your translations, no matter how many words or files you want to deliver today. Now available for 48 languages with Hunspell dictionaries.

Your personal reviewer

Xbench comes with some predefined quality checks useful for integrity, consistency, numbers, tags, key terms, and so on. But if you need more, you can also create your own personal checklists to make sure your translations are seamless.

Check your translations completely

Xbench comes with a number of predefined checks to detect common errors, such as inconsistencies, missing or unmodified translations, spelling errors, incompatibility in numbers or tags, deviations from key terminology, and more.

Never forget to check the spelling of a file

Tired of checking the spelling of hundreds of files with just a few words each? With Xbench, you can load and correct the spelling of all files at once and edit only files with spelling problems.

Define your own checklists

Need more checks than predefined ones? With checklists, you can perform very sophisticated checks on your files. Checklists are built on Xbench's powerful search engine, which allows you to find virtually anything thanks to PowerSearch mode and the flexibility of regular or wildcard expressions in Microsoft Word. Checklists are an array of user-defined searches that can be performed on all your translations at an incredible speed.

Edit your files directly in the offending segment

Need to edit what Xbench found? Just right-click and choose. You can edit the source to open the file directly in the thread that contains the error. Segment-level positioning is available for most CAT formats, including TagEditor, IBM Translation Manager, SDLX, or MemSource.

Organize your terminology

With Xbench, you can assign each terminology source to its own priority level so that it is presented to you clearly. Now you are able to make consistently informed terminology decisions, always.

All in one view

Relevant search results are presented in a single color-coded priority view, so you can easily recognize what comes from where. In the blink of an eye, you can quickly decide which term best suits your translation and you can also investigate and report where the inconsistencies are.

Zoom in to explore

The default search results view features an overview mode that shows some results from each priority so you can see at once whether the term you're looking for has been consistently translated - or not - into all terminology sources. Need more details? No problem, just zoom in to priority or file level to see everything.

Highlight key terminology

Are any of your glossaries particularly important to your project? Just set any glossary to Key Terms and your entries will appear with a star in the search results.
