Hi, and thanks so much for your quick reply.

I have read part of the manual, but I'm still not sure how Wordfast works.
So, isn't it supposed to translate automatically any text you provide?
I thought that the TM is empty initially, and then it populates as the program and you translate and save the changes. That's what I got from the tutorial I saw on YouTube.

Thanks, again!
