31 Dec 2021: Mac Monterey on Apple M1 releases of TLex, tlCorpus, tlTerm, tlDatabase, tlReader

Click here to read full announcement for Mac Monterey users on Apple M1

16 May 2020: Version 2020 Released:

Version 2020 released of TLex Suite, tlTerm, tlCorpus, tlDatabase and tlReader! This is the 12th major release, and includes leading new features like 64-bit support in both macOS and Windows, allowing massive scalability and the ability to load huge databases, such as the IATE EU TBX terminology. This also helps TLex to more easily work with massive dictionary projects, e.g. historical or encyclopedic dictionaries, as it unlocks the full system memory to be used in the application. Version 2020 also includes many performance improvements to help speed up working with very large terminology databases, dictionaries or translation memories, and includes TBX and TMX importers.

Watch this how-to video to see how tlTerm 64-bit 'easily' handles a massive ~2GB .TBX (TermBase eXchange) file containing millions of EU terminology terms --- we only make it look easy!

With this release, we've also beat industry market leaders (e.g. SDL) to market with 64-bit versions.
