- New XML Localization Features
- New Database Localization Features
- New C++/RC Localization Features
New General Features

- New in 6.1! Quick-view of unlocalized (native) forms/menus/source in Wysiwyg mode.
- New in 6.1! Enable/diable clip of controls for more efficient reworking of user interfaces for any target language.
Validation
- More than 20 different validation routines

- Geometry validations: overlap, unmapped controls, ...
- Consistency validations: duplicate hotkeys, missing periods, ...
- Detailed Validation Reports
- Auto-fix issues detected in validation
- New in 6.1! Validation of missing symbols; define in project options which symbols must not miss in translations, and let Multilizer validate them for you.

- New in 6.1! Check if control has been repositioned.
- New in 6.1! Specify XSLT (XML Style Sheet) for customizing validation report layout.
- Widest support for industry standards
- Delphi 8 (for .NET) support.
- C#Builder support.
- XLIFF
- Localization of binary values; e.g., localization of embedded WAV, AVI, etc.

- Miscellaneous
- 10 times faster; Significantly improved performance in Multilizer project maintenance.
- Fully configurable path for output of localized files.
- Improved project statistics.
- Translation-specific comments for every translation in project.
- New in 6.1!Node info; verbose display of node-specific information shown at bottom panel.
- New in 6.1! Trim translations. This removes translation, if it is the same as native string. This can decrease project file size even by one third!
- 6-level status for project translations: Not ready, best guess, Auto translated, translated, QAed, Ready.
- 3-level status for row (project) strings: New, Unused, In use.
- Improved support for entering Far Eastern characters on any supported Windows platform.
- New in V6.1! Filtering by priority.
Re-worked
filter for any combination of translation statuses, row statuses, and
data types.
- 3-level priority for any part of project: Low, Normal, High.
- Portable Multilizer settings files; help to share the same settings between multiple users.
- Toggle non-printable characters showing on/off in cells.
- Display and edit translation status in a cell; translation status can be shown as text in translation grid.
- Display and edit max characters value in a cell.
- Display and edit max pixels value in a cell.
- Print project translations along with images.
- New in V6.1! Project tree allows smart-cut of long node names; this enables users to see the most important part of node, if the text exceeds the width of project view.
- New in V6.1! Filter project strings by content of native value.
- New in V6.1! Filter strings that contain different translations for the same string.

New
Translation Memory
)
- Fuzzy match
- Totally re-architectured user interface for configuration and efficient management of TM's.
- Configure and switch between multiple translation memories.
- Specify fuzzy-match threshold.
- Apply 'Auto-translated' flag to project strings; enables filtering of auto-translated strings in project.
- Configurable segmentation rules
- New in V6.1! Translation Memory statistics; get information about translation counts, stored glossaries/documents, etc.
- New in V6.1! Translation Memory export functionality; export a part or entire Translation Memory to another format, such as TMX.
- New in V6.1! Translation Memory import; get translation memories of Multilizer 5.1 imported to Multilizer 6.
- New in V6.1! Fuzzy match optimizations for German and French languages.
New
.NET Features
)
