filter for any combination of translation statuses, row statuses, and
data types.

- 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
