Unlike other programs of computer translation the Pragma project utilized multilingual technology of translation in which
all the possible directions of translation are supported for the chosen number of languages.
For example, three languages - English, Russian and Ukrainian have six variations of language pairs:
As you can see the number of directions is more then number of language modules. Obviously, in this case it is much more convenient to talk about language modules then about translation directions. In the name Pragma 5.x the last digit indicates the number of included languages. So, Pragma 5.2 - works with any two languages, Pragma 5.3 - with any three etc. Pragma 5.7 includes the complete set of all language modules available now. In addition to the basic translation dictionaries, there are also dictionaries of the special terms on 50-ty different subjects. These dictionaries contain enough rare and specific terms. If you need to translate a specialized document, the switching on to "Plus" mode may help you to raise the translation accuracy. Presence of special terms dictionaries is indicated in the name of the program as a sign plus. Pragma 5.x+ or Pragma 5.x Plus. What's new in Pragma 5.x Unlike previous versions, Pragma 5.x is not add-ons to applications and works as a system utility but allows translating in active application "on the fly". Translation in all applications is launched by clicking an icon in a system panel (tray). Pragma 5.x includes new languages - Polish and French. The number of possible translation directions is now 42. Program interface is changed. Outfit of Pragma 5.x became more attactive. The program supports the latest developments of Microsoft - Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 7 and Office 2007. Activation procedure of the program is changed. As in previous version, there are both on-line and off-line activation. The suitable mode is switched out automatically. The checking-up module for testing the integrity and functional capacity of the program is included. Pragma 5.x has new installation shield. Organization of dictionaries Each language is located in a separate module. There are 7 language modules: English, German, French, Latvian, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. As far as Pragma is based on module principle there is a possibility to choose the necessary language modules and combining them into the required translation directions. It is necessary to take into account some feature of organization of the system. Russian is a basic connective language almost for all translating directions. It means that during translation, fpr instance, from Latvian to Ukrainian the presence of Russian module is necessary. An exception is made for Polish. Taking into account the grammatical similarity of the Polish and Ukrainian languages, a basic connective language for Polish is Ukrainian. Therefore, if the Polish module is chosen the Ukrainian module is also employed. Updating the program takes into account these features automatically. Provided with the included dictionaries a user can fill up and edit his/her personal dictionaries. User dictionaries have the highest priority in translation; this allows correcting the meaning of translated words and expressions. |
