Topic: File Conversion problems with Wordfast Pro and Target Language problems with Wordfast Pro & Anywhere
Poster: Dawn Marie Ciano Brosh
Hi,
I have been working with Wordfast Pro for a while now with an agency that sends SDL Trados file to translate. Everything used to work fine with my old laptop (which had Windows XP), but when I switched to my new one with Windows 8 I started having problems. I am using Wordfast Pro 3.4.1, and when I go to convert the file by going to File>Save translated file, the program converts it, but the Project Manager can no longer read it on her end. I have no idea why, but I do know this started happening when I got my new laptop. As a result, I have started using Wordfast Anywhere because it gives an option to save the file as a Word document without placeholders and that seems to be working. However, I am having problems with Wordfast Anywhere recognizing the right target language. My TM is set up with a target language of EN-GB, but my spell check is still not recognizing words spelled in the British way. Wordfast Pro also is not recognizing that I have the target set to EN-GB. I know that the target is set to British English because I have opened the TM in Notepad and at the top of the document it shows that the target is EN-GB. Does anyone have any information that could help me with any of this? I would like to continue to use both Wordfast Pro and Wordfast Anywhere as both seem useful to me. Just need to work through these file conversion and target language issues.
Thanks,
Dawn
