SIL FieldWorks is a set of software tools that help manage cultural and linguistic data from initial collection through submission for publication. Furthermore, FieldWorks BTE contains a specialized drafting and editing environment for Bible Translators, which provides interaction with the language data stored in Language Explorer.
v7.0 [Feb 21, 2011]
Greatly improved performance.
FieldWorks BTE can now be updated with maintenance patches between releases; you will not need to download the entire program each time there are new bug fixes available.
Numerous bugs have been fixed in the course of the reengineering effort.
Backup files can include settings (e.g. dictionary configuration) and linked files (e.g. pictures) as well as data.
Backup files now have the extension fwbackup, and a restore can be triggered by double-clicking on the fwbackup file in Windows Explorer.
You can customize the location where you store FieldWorks projects.
In Language Explorer:
You can minimize sections when viewing a lexical entry.
You can add a new list to the Lists area.
You can add custom fields of more types (number, date, list reference, multi-paragraph.)
Almost all dialogs in FieldWorks can now be localized.
