In this context, all text components of a software that are displayed on the screen for the user are designated as text resources. These include the menu structure with menus, commands and access keys; the dialogs with buttons, checkboxes and other control elements; as well as the "string table" in which character strings are dynamically linked during runtime (for example, error messages and tool tips). The SDL Passolo documentation comprises two manuals: This Getting Started manual provides a brief introduction to help you take your first steps with SDL Passolo. The Reference Manual contains more detailed information. It is available to download from the SDL Knowledge Base. The Reference Manual is not provided in printed form. To display or print the Reference Manual, you need to install Acrobat Reader. The online help in SDL Passolo contains the same information as the Reference Manual. SDL Passolo Editions SDL Passolo is available in several editions, which differ based on the scope and the terms of the individual licensing agreement: the Professional Edition, the Team Edition, the Collaboration Edition and the Translator Edition. SDL Passolo Professional Edition The SDL Passolo Professional Edition is intended for project managers, editors and translators responsible not only for localizing software, but also for translating the associated documentation and managing localization projects. The project view and project-related functions enable efficient management of even large projects. SDL Passolo's statistic functions provide the means to better calculate the scope of localization projects. The optional interfaces to translation memory systems help to increase the consistency and quality of the translated documents. The integrated development environment allows the creation of macros, which make it possible to change or add functions to SDL Passolo. SDL Passolo Team Edition The SDL Passolo Team Edition offers the same functions as the SDL Passolo Professional Edition, but is also able to create and manage a certain number of special translation bundles. These translation bundles can be efficiently processed using the free Translator Edition, which includes all the required functions. Thus, with a single software license it is possible to delegate entire projects to external translators, including the task of testing and adapting the dialogs. SDL Passolo 2016 – Getting Started 4 SDL Passolo Collaboration Edition The SDL Passolo Collaboration Edition is a stand-alone application that corresponds to the Team Unlimited Edition in terms of functionality, yet can also automatically synchronize the translation bundles with translation agencies or translators via an FTP server. SDL Passolo Translator Edition The Translator Edition is a free editor for translators. It can be downloaded from our website http://www.sdl.com/passolo. Only special translation bundles created with the Team Edition can be edited using the Translator Edition. Thus, all the members of a project team can make use of SDL Passolo's powerful functionality without having to purchase a software license. The Translator Edition cannot read source files or generate target files, but it offers all the other functions required to efficiently process translation bundles. SDL Passolo 2016 – Getting Started 5 About SDL Passolo System Requirements In order to install and run SDL Passolo, you will need: A Microsoft Windows compatible PC (including Intel-based Apple Mac computers with Windows as the operating system) with 1 gigahertz (GHz) or higher, 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor and 2 GB RAM (32-bit) or 4 GB RAM (64-bit) A screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels and 256 colors or more 2 GB of available disk space to run SDL Passolo Up to 2.5 GB of available disk space to run the SDL Passolo installer For optimum performance on 64-bit operating systems, SDL recommends a recent processor with dual or multi-core technology, 4 GB RAM and a screen resolution higher than 1280x1024. Operating Systems SDL Passolo runs on the latest build of Windows 10, the latest updated version of Windows 8.1 and the latest service-packed version of Windows 7. Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are also supported SDL Passolo does not support earlier operating systems such as Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 98 and Windows Server 2003 Installation Before using SDL Passolo for the first time, you will have to install the software under Windows 7 or later.

Virtual environments and terminal services such as Citrix are also supported. Contact us for more information on licensing.

  • Software Localization Made Easy
    Software localization made easy Launching software products into multiple international markets simultaneously in local language can be a real challenge. Software localization is typically very intensive and time-consuming for all the teams involved. During localization, software products are often modified to meet the linguistic, cultural and technical requirements of each target market. But it can be very challenging to localize elements of a graphical user interface (GUI) such as dialog boxes, menus and display texts, without a visual display to work from. SDL Passolo is designed to meet the specific demands of the software localization industry. By accessing a visual translation environment, the localization process is made much faster while the quality of the output is improved. SDL Passolo integrates with all translation tools in the SDL suite, boosting your efficiency every step of the way. Effortless project management With powerful project management capabilities, you’ll find it easy to stay on top of your multilingual software localization projects. Project preparation simplifies communication between the software manufacturer and the translators. The localization manager can work together with the developers and add files requiring localization to the project. Language Product Brief | SDL Passolo 2015 2 When a project is created, SDL Passolo saves the source text in a multilingual project database along with its SDL Passolo gives you translations, modified layouts, comments about the files and any other data. Multiple users can work on the same project simultaneously in Multi-User mode, while external All the tools you need for efficient software translators can download a free version of the software localization including project management, and edit translation packages created in the full version.
