What’s new in Adapt It Mobile 1.4.0

Work with Multiple Adaptation Projects

Adapt It Mobile now supports multiple translation projects. New projects can be created or imported from Adapt It via the new Manage Projects settings page (Settings > Manage Projects); users can switch between translation projects and delete unused projects from the database.

Bug Fixes and Various Enhancements

  • Fixed a problem where word and phrase selection was getting inadvertently cleared on some devices (issue #425).

These issues can be found in our issue tracker.


Known Issues

  • Adapt It Mobile does not currently support collaboration with other translation clients (e.g., with Paratext or other Adapt It Mobile machines). Documents must be imported, translated, and then exported for further processing by other translation clients. Support for collaboration will be implemented in a future release of Adapt It Mobile (issues #8, #11, #59).

Please refer to the Adapt It Mobile Wiki site for instructions on installing. Issues and enhancement requests can be reported through our issues page. Thanks!

What’s new in Adapt It Mobile 1.3.0

Import and Export Knowledge Base Files

Adapt It Mobile now supports importing and exporting translation memory files for your current project. Currently supported formats include Adapt It desktop’s XML format and the translation industry standard TMX format (https://www.gala-global.org/tmx-14b). *

Show Translations Screen

Adapt It Mobile has a new screen for viewing and editing the available translations for a source phrase. This screen allows you to see each available translation, and the relative frequency of use. You can also edit the spelling of a translation, select a translation for the current source, remove it (so that it does not appear in the translations drop-down menu while adapting), or restore it (so that it does appear).

Search for a Translation in the Project’s Documents

Adapt It Mobile now allows you to search within the project’s imported documents for instances of a selected translation. This can either be done by selecting a translation in the Show Translations… screen, or selecting a translated phrase while adapting and selecting the Show Translations… menu item. When searching, Adapt It Mobile displays a search bar with the number of occurrances, as well as Previous and Next buttons. This search bar can be closed at any time.

Bug Fixes and Various Enhancements

  • Adapt It Mobile has a new menu item on the Adaptation screen toolbar (issue #412). The More Actions menu contains the following menu items:
    • Show Translations…
    • Find in Documents…
    • Show / Hide Preview
    • Help
  • Added support for the latest Android and Apple devices (issue #401, #406).
  • Improved usability on the Source and Target Language project settings screens for smaller devices (issue #400, #398).
  • Added support for clipboard import of USFM / USX / XML formatted text (issue #399).
  • OK button in Edit Project screens now returns to the project overview page (issue #394).

These issues can be found in our issue tracker.


Notes

  • Adapt It Mobile’s implementation of the TMX format is not intended for “round-tripping” data. The TMX format contains data not relevant to a single source-target pair adaptation, which is ignored by Adapt It Mobile when importing.
  • Minimum system requirements are updated for Adapt It Mobile 1.3. AIM now requires a tablet or phone running Apple’s iOS 11 or later, or Android 5.1 or later. (This obsoletes issues #149, #237.)

Known Issues

  • Adapt It Mobile currently only supports a single translation project. Support for multiple translation projects will be implemented in a future release of Adapt It Mobile (issues #100, #358, #359)

Please refer to the Adapt It Mobile Wiki site for instructions on installing. Issues and enhancement requests can be reported through our issues page. Thanks!


News,TipsandTricks

Phrase Selection

Adapt It Mobile 1.2.0 adds a feature that is present in the desktop version of Adapt It: the ability to stop the selection at phrase / punctuation boundaries. This feature is controlled in the editor settings for the project, and is by default set to disallow selection beyond punctuation boundaries.

Specifying whether to stop selection at boundaries

  1. On the Main screen, click on Settings. The Settings screen will display.
  2. On the Settings screen, click on General Settings. The General Settings screen will display.
  3. On the Editor control group at the top of the screen, note the Stop Selection at Boundaries checkbox:
  • To stop phrase selection at punctuation boundaries, tick the Stop Selection at Boundaries checkbox.
  • To allow phrase selection beyond punctuation boundaries, clear the Stop Selection at Boundaries checkbox. This will allow phrase selection up to the next / previous set of markers, or paragraph markers for plain text.

Here is an animation of this feature in action:

What’s new in Adapt It Mobile 1.2.0

Split Window Support

Adapt It Mobile now supports side-by-side windowing on devices with larger screens. This type of view is useful for displaying translation help alongside Adapt It Mobile as you translate on a tablet.

Project Language Enhancements

Adapt It Mobile has a new autocomplete mechanism for specifying the source and target language of a translation project. Type in a few letters of the language, and a dropdown appears with languages that match. Select a language from the list, and Adapt It Mobile will automatically build the language code for you.

If you have an exotic script or revision that doesn’t fit the normal language code, you can now override the automatically generated language code and specify a custom RFC 5646 code for the translation project’s source and target languages.

And More

  • Support for custom special text colors (issue #372).
  • Fixed punctuation import consistency between file types (issue #375).
  • Improved phrase selection, including the ability to stop selection at boundaries (issue #373).
  • Improved support for larger source phrases (issue #371).

These issues can be found in our issue tracker.

Known Issues

  • Adapt It Mobile currently does not have a way of directly editing the Knowledge Base. Entries are added and removed from the Knowledge Base as the user adds, removes, and edits the translations in the text. The capability to edit the Knowledge Base directly will be added to a future release of Adapt It Mobile (issue #274)
  • Adapt It Mobile currently only supports a single translation project. Support for multiple translation projects will be implemented in a future release of Adapt It Mobile (issues #100, #358, #359)
