LogosClient for Windows


Product Specification

LogosClient for Windows

LogosClient is a Microsoft Windows based application program to support access to the Logos Intelligent Translation System server software. LogosClient "talks" to the server using the Local Area Network version or "dial-up" using a modem. This access can take place from the menus of the leading wordprocessor software packages in Microsoft Windows without further Logos application specific knowledge.

LogosClient uses a mailing environment connected via a LAN to the UNIX operating system which runs the Logos server-based translation software. Specific macro programs perform the integration into the leading word processing software packages.

After LogosClient has been installed on your system, all its specific functions, including network and modem connections, are activated automatically without user intervention.

User Interaction

The active document created with one of the word processing software packages below can be submitted for translation to the Logos Translation server by clicking on the file menu and selecting the "LogosClient Submit" function. The document is then automatically converted into a readable format, stored and sent to the Logos Translation server.

At the Logos Translation server it is queued for processing. It is then processed according to previously set translation options and retransmitted afterwards to LogosClient. LogosClient checks for translated documents at user-defined intervals and retrieves them. Statistical and status information is then displayed within the user's word processing environment.

If the user clicks on "LogosClient Retrieve" in the File menu of the word processor a window appears with a list of all names of documents which were previously submitted from LogosClient to the Logos Translation server. If the user clicks on a particular file name, status and statistical information is displayed which includes data related to the translation job such as source and target language of the document and selection of dictionaries. If the user double-clicks on a particular file name, the document is converted and opened to be further processed in the format of the wordprocessor in use.
