To Mr. Matthias Mueller
SUN Program Development Studios
Dear Sir,
Kindly read through the below stated and give me your answer if you think this might be to any interest for any further development and adaptation to be used in or together with or as a free program to OPEN OFFICE, distributed free.
Best regards
H von Bortzell-Szuch
Owner of this program
Have in my possession a old program (TransScript or "Ts") that never got finished to its end, since lack of funds. It is a TRANSLATION program TO/FROM any human language.
It can use macros (for translation of i.e. hieroglyph or other pre historical print).
I have no further means to develop it, and it has therefor been laying in a draw.
If you think this might be some project material, you are welcomed to have it, and to integrate it with OPEN OFFICE if the name will remain the same of this program, and my name as inventor and function developer will remain un touched within the program for as long as it is in use, and it will be used with OPEN OFFICE.
It is programmed in C++ and Turbo Pascal. It has NOT been adapted to work in Windows environment. Program size c:a 1.5 MB
2 variations exists
A. Semi automatic (translation by hand)
B. Fully automatic (translates a A4 text page in under 8 seconds depending on computer CPU etc.). This version works with pull down menus.
Ts program data:
Have a window technic to open up as many windows as needed.
Have a split screen (horisontal) window for text "IN" original text
Have a split screen (horisontal) window for text "OUT" translated text
Have a "LOOK-UP" function in both windows
Can search for word, part of word, or part of fraise or whole sentence
Can use macros for translation of pre historical script (for research purposes)
Have 5 stations to lock up lexicons. Lexicon (each) can be in ON/OFF mode
Have 5 stations for lock up text files to read or translate TO/FROM
Have COPY/PASTE function in between any attached document
Have ONE limit: ONE word can not have more then 100 different meanings to it in a lexicon.
End user can add as many words as he/she likes to a lexicon
Ts "FEELS" the screen size (min 25 rows) and adapts itself to any small screen of a LapTop or likewise computer.
Includes a TOOL for check of end user for:
1. word list to become lexicon
2. Integrate end user lexicon with supplied lexicon
3. When processing a word list to become a lexicon, or be integrated with a existing one by this tool, all data is being coded. No open word list can be viewed.
LEXICON DATA consists of:
1. Look up word/sentence, Translated word, gram value, further explanation
2. Use of 5 stations for Lexicons are to be able to use COMMON Lexicon and Special Lexicons, as for Synonyms, Chemistry, Medicine, Mechanics, Law etc.
3. During translation, any of these can be in ON/OFF mode. Program searches ALL Lexicons in ON-mode and presents ALL findings and also WHAT Lexicon the Look-Up was made.
4. All Ts lexicons are coded and zipped.
5. End user open word list can in this stage also be used in Ts and function.
6. 255 signs in one row max for one word.
7. Any Lexicon have a space for general information to this program in the beginning of it. TYPE of Lexicon, Language TO/FROM, and if any special notes have been added for any Info reason.
8. Any developed lexicon shall be made as TO/FROM 2 language lexicons. NOT to have a lot of lexicons developed using English as some "center" of translation TO/FROM. This gives a poor translation form.
NOT DEVELOPED FILES:
Had no means to develop grammatical files. Grama files to be developed as "Bricks" and be locked ON/OFF as lexicon TO/FROM language are locked on.
Had also no means to develop many lexicons. A few exists.
ONE printed lexicon has been presented on the market:
ISBN 91-7151-103-2 (includes a diskette). This is a Business lexicon in the languages SWEDISH, ENGLISH, GERMAN, FINISH.
No spell check function exists in this program, since use of word processor was assumed to be used for this at that time of development.
