Three windows in, you forget the term you just settled

A source PDF, the editor, a glossary spreadsheet, a dictionary and the client style guide are all open. You decide that in this document "commit" is translated one specific way, and three paragraphs later you are weighing it again. The decision is in your head while your hands are in another window. WindowPin pins the decision onto the editor window, and it moves whenever that window does.

When you want to settle terminology once

Pin this document’s term mapping onto the editor window. Make it a checklist and the settled terms separate themselves from the ones still open. You no longer reopen the glossary file to check.

So you stop mixing up source and target

Give the two windows different coloured index labels. Even with two source documents in the same viewer, you can see at a glance which one is the reference.

The last pass before delivery

Put what the client asked for — date formats, unit conventions, banned phrasings — on that window as a checklist and tick it off before you hand the file over.

What you end up using while translating

Any script, kept as typedWhatever characters you put in a note are stored as they are. The app itself runs in twelve languages.
Checklist notesSettled terms and open questions live in the same window, visibly apart.
Survives closing the windowOpen the same document tomorrow and yesterday’s decisions are back on it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work offline?

Yes. Notes are stored only on this PC. Turn off news in settings and it contacts no server at all.

Will it stick to a CAT tool window?

If it is an ordinary window, yes. Position tracking is doubled up so it follows windows that do not emit the usual events.
