Subject:translation: SDLX Elite, Farsi, and Dari From:obair <obair81 -at- comcast -dot- net> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 3 Aug 2006 18:45:50 -0700
We are considering a translation company that says they can use SDLX
Elite to partly automate the translation of docs from English to Dari.
They say that, while SDLX Elite does not list Dari in its list of
supported languages, it does support Farsi, which they say shares a
character set with Dari.
Therefore, they say Dari text can created and managed in SDLX Elite,
and the only shortcoming is that the spell-checker will not work
because its dictionary is in Farsi.
I cannot tell if this company is in the know or not. Not one other
company has suggested this usage of a translation software package.
