Post title: Placeables within words
I have just tried Wordfast Pro for the first time. It would be great if Wordfast Pro could make me translate faster, but a translation has never taken this long when I do not use a CAT tool. All the clicking and confirming just took extra time. The shortcut key given for confirmation did not work for me on my macbook, so I had to confirm in the toolbar every time. Then there were the placeables...
The source text had placeables in all kinds of places. I have not idea what they are for and why they would be placed in the middle of words. Sometimes a word could have two or three placeables within it and I had no idea where to put these in the target text. I still don't.
