GUI to Microsoft® Glossaries for Technical Translators and Technical Translation Agencies

Microsoft Glossaries

WinLexic provides easy interface to Microsoft Glossaries for technical translators and other experts who need to get acquainted with Microsoft terminology or use it as reference regularly. But what Microsoft Glossaries are all about?

Microsoft Glossaries are stored in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. Their format is often very uneven, therefore during development of WinLexic we had to solve many problems normalizing their format for comfortable user-friendly display.

Example of Microsoft glossary in user-friendly form (in WinLexic):

Each glossary includes Source Term, String Category, Platform, and Product columns. Other columns, such as source hotkey, target hotkey, or product version may be included as well.
