We all know that the Quality Control Department of Palex does not just check translations for formal errors and adherence to customer requirements, but also performs a lot of other tasks. People do a lot of work and usually check the same document several times. This creates the effect of “loosing focus” and may eventually translate into serious errors in the final document.

This year we opted for not exhibiting at tekom Fair, but we certainly could not miss this great event, so I attended the exhibition first of all to meet new and old friends and colleagues from our industry, to learn new trends, to compare the event to the last year’s one and just to do all things people do at conferences and exhibitions. My secondary goal was to meet new agencies for possible collaboration as we expect volume increase and have to gear up for that.

We found that the problem is in OLE and Service Pack 3 for Windows.
This error is reported every time when you save a file that contains OLE objects, provided Windows SP3 is installed on the computer. The only exception is opening an FM file that already contains OLE objects and saving it in FM or MIF format.

The readers who follow our blog and web site could already notice new faces at the Management page.
As any organization during its life and work, we’re seeking to develop and improve human resource and localization projects management. A fine-tuned work process is beneficial for both the employees and the end users of the localized product.

Summer has gone away, and only cheerfully-yellow canned zucchinis remind us of warm
sunbeams. If you have never tried food preservation — squash or zucchini caviar is the best thing to start with: it’s quite cheap to spoil, easy to prepare and doesn’t take too much time. Zucchini and squash dishes are not only tasty and low-calorie, but also contain vitamines and microelements important for our health.

The portal beta has already been available (through invitations) for quite a long time, but I didn’t have time to write about it. Actually there is not too much to write. At the moment it is a convenient place to search on-line dictionaries and parallel texts — at least for English-Russian language pair.
Basically what guys from ABBYY did was collect all popular concepts and needs and create a portal that would embrace and address them all. The idea is likely to turn successful, but the implementation also matters.

A couple of weeks ago ApSIC released a new plug-in for their XBench. Based on HunSpell dictionaries, it checks spelling for a number of languages, including Russian. I briefly tested it and certainly found both advantages and drawbacks which I describe below.

25 hours spent in a Byelorussian train going from Irkutsk to Minsk, and we’re heading to Yekaterinburg International airport. Our destination is Angelo Hotel.

It’s over. Normally what I feel after conferences is close to what I felt leaving a good summer camp when I was a kid: it’s like leaving good friends not knowing if you are going to see them again, like leaving a place you get used to live at and do a lot of exciting things with those friends. This time it’s different; I don’t have this feeling, and I don’t clearly see why.
