Topic: Restoring old or bak glossary/TM files in Wordfast Classic
Poster: Claire Cox
Help! I was setting up my TM and glossaries for a translation I intended to do in Wordfast Classic this afternoon, when there was a very brief power cut. When I switched everything back on, my TM and glossary had disappeared and now show in my file list as 0 KB, even though they were both substantial files. I thought you could restore them from the bak file in the Wordfast set-up screen, but I get the message that the file type isn't supported. The bak file for the glossary is also now showing as 0 KB, so I'm at my wits' end how to restore them. Any ideas gratefully received. Unfortunately, it backs up to Dropbox, which means the corrupt version had already saved across to my other (open) computer - aaagh!
