From time to time, users ask how to create a checklist out of a list of terms automatically. The usual way is to add entries one by one to a checklist.
The following application allows you to convert a text file into a checklist. The input file must be a two-column Unicode tab-delimited text file.
The application is available at this github repository. Just click the link and then the Download button to get the .exe file.
Checklists created by the app can be used in Xbench 2.9. However, the Normalize Native Chars option will not be checked as it is not available in Xbench 2.9.
Hi! I need to create a forbidden term list as a checklist. I used this very useful tool to convert the Excel file to a checklist but it stills loads the terms as a regular glossary, “X term should be translated as Y”, and I want the opposite, I want XBench to identify them as “forbidden terms”. I have always entered each forbidden term manually but I wanted to see if there was an option to do it in bulk, as with the regular glosssary.
Thanks!
To create a checklist of forbidden terms, instead of a regular glossary (i.e. a term that should not be translated in a specific way), disable the key terms mismatch mode checkbox.
