Microsoft recently announced that they&#x27;d be shutting down the Microsoft Language Portal (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;language" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;language</a>) on June 30th. This portal has a terminology search service frequently used by translators and localization specialists from all around the world.<p>Being a localization specialist myself, I was saddened to hear that this service was going to disappear, as I use it daily for my job. Using Microsoft-provided translation memory and glossary files, I created termic, a replacement tool which aims at providing translators an even better search experience.<p>This tool is primarily intended for use by translators and localization specialists, but I thought it might still interest some HN folks. It is my very first &quot;big&quot; project, so any feedback is more than welcome! Source code and more details about the project are available here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Spidersouris&#x2F;termic">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Spidersouris&#x2F;termic</a>
