Wow, I am very happy to have just watched/studied this tutorial. I admit I am not very good at using WF, but this video is fantastic. I definitely need more! In some future tutorial, I would like to hear suggestions as to how I adapt the coding to my Mac, from which John seems to be operating. Thank you, John.

Thank you John. I have been using it non-stop since the Conference and learning as I go (as usual) but this opened up many more options I was not aware of. The only thing I have not figured out yet is that I am translating from EN>ES and it is not changing the commas into periods and vice versa in numbers. There used to be a way to do that (I thought), but I have not found it yet. If there is, can you let me know? Thanks.

Different number formats are auto-suggested when you start typing them. In the next version (5.7), you will be able to use regex in Find and Replace to make automatic replacements. Hopefully, by WFF19, new features will be implemented that allow for auto-conversion of number only segments upon file opening. Finally, you could filter out number only segments with regex (contact the hotline for help), and then auto-translate them with MT.

You can modify the names as they appear in the software but that will not change the names of the folders that are created on your computer. If you want to change the latter, you should remove the resource from WFP5, change the folder name, re-add the resource, then click on modify project/TM icon to change it to the new folder name.

Thank you for this tutorial. I am learning to use this CAT, but I have a doubt: If I change a term that is already on my glossary, How can I do so that the term changes automatically in all the segments that it has been traslated so that I don´t waste time going back and correcting? Please, thank you.

Your great video just ends at the most interesting part for me: How to use a Wordfast translation memory in order to compare two files that are very similar and that only have a small number of different words between them? I think this is the most important feature for all the translators that use (or want to use) CAT Tools. For professional reasons, my computer is an Apple/iMac (I do a lot of work in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator and all my clients send me files made in Mac, so I can not use Trados and other kind of PC/Windows software). But besides that I translate a lot of agreements, contracts and proposals for my clients and I think that with Wordfast that can easier my work, but I need to know how. Do you have another tutorial that explains this feature? Regards

Hi Paulo, each time you translate a sentence, it is stored in your translation memory and the TM is constantly leveraged for subsequent sentences. You are doing two things at once: creating a translation deliverable and saving all translations to a database. In other words, at your new file, start working on it and you will get fuzzy and 100% matches from the TM.

@@wordfasttraining Thanks for the help. I must check and try it. But what's puzzling me most is this: 1. I have a translated a file and duly saved a TM of it. 2. Now I have a very similar file to translate. How can I use my previous TM in order to help me in the translation of the new file? Excuse me for my bad English, but I hope you understand my doubt. Cheers

@@PauloF1959 Make sure that when you create a new project, you add the TM to it. Or, you can simply add the file to the existing project, to which the TM is already attached. When you open the new file, you can use the auto-translate icon to pre-translate and you will see 100% and fuzzy matches populate certain segments. If you don't, then one of several things might have happened: 1. You did not commit segments to the TM when translating the previous document. You can commit segments to the TM using the Next Segment icon, Previous Segment icon, Commit icon, Commit All icon or using their keyboard shortcuts. 2. Unaltered machine translated segments are not committed to the TM by default. You need to modify your preferences (Current/New Project Preferences > Translation Memory > Write 'unedited MT' to TM) 3. The segments in the new document are too different (they do not meet the 75% default similarity threshold)

Hi there! This is my first time with Wordfast and actually any CAT tool EVER. I am trying to figure out this, and my questions are: can I add a glossary doc from excel? or do I have to convert it first and then added to WF? Also, if I start my first project without adding any glossary, can I add it later? and finally, are the glossaries or dictionaries that comes with WF, reliable, precise, accurate? Thanks a lot! I'm excited to use this CAT tool!

Hi Marissa, you need to save your excel glossary as a tab-delimited unicode text file. Then you can import it into Wordfast. You can import it whenever you want. Wordfast does not come with any glossaries loaded. Check the manual (Help tab > Help icon) for more info about glossaries.

Hi, thank for this video, it's very clear. I do have a question: how do you start a project with Excel files when you only want 1 column of the Excel file so that you can then insert the translated column into the client file? I mean, if I upload the Excel file as it is, I end up with all the columns below each other, including everything I am not supposed to translate, and the outcome is a file that replaces the original, when what I want is a file with all the original columns AND my translation added. Thanks for any tip on this.

Hello, if you hide columns or rows in the Excel file, it won't import them. Copy the column to be translated, paste it in the location it needs to be in the final file, then hide the column you copied (not the one you pasted).

Hello. My general question is about Wordfast Pro and Wordfast Classic and how they deal with PowerPoint and PDF files. I'm going to buy either of them but still haven't got which is more friendly with PowerPoint and PDF. Can you help me with that? I'm used to working with Trados, but WF Classic looks like being more easy-to-use. So, does WF Classic translate PPP and PDF? Or it would be easier to do that with WF Pro? I would very much appreciate your assistance here. There is not much feedback on that in the Internet

Hi! Can you make a short video training on Wordfast Pro 3 showing me how to create a TB and TM? And please you show me how to commit or add new translation and terms into my existing TB and TM? Also, if I translate two TXML files but there are nearly 90% reps between those two files, what can I automatically apply or commit all new translation from the first file onto my second TXML file? In addition, if the client send me TXML files where they already applied their TM and some 100% matches, how can I lock all those 100% matches before sending to my translators to prevent unexpected update or touch? Please you help me out? My Gmail is: hlubkojxwboshnub@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.
