MSGloss2TWB:  Software localizers, especially those working with programs that run on the Microsoft Windows platform, often consult with the glossaries that Microsoft makes available freely through its ftp site.  There are literally hundreds of files in every language that the Microsoft products are localized into.  However, the format of these files, csv, makes it hard for some users to work with them.  This program should be of interest to anyone who wants to use these repositories within the Trados Translators Workbench: It is a very easy to use program that converts any number of these Microsoft files into the TWB format.  Once that is done, you should be able to directly import these files as a Trados translation memory.

The response to this program has been overwhelming! Many users have written to let us know how useful they have found this program to be. Several others wrote to report problems with Unicode data, or to suggest enhancements to the program. We are happy to report that we now have full Unicode support! If you are converting csv files in Japanese, Chinese, or whatever language Microsoft decided to save in Unicode, MSGloss2TWB now automatically detects the encoding in order to process the files correctly.
