After 15 years of translating, I have realized that after 1 or 2 weeks of having delivered a translation, I never need to access the source, bilingual or target files. I had to reformat my hard drive a couple of weeks ago and was able to use Wordfast Anywhere to do a job while my computer was out of service.Ģ. Saving them on Wordfast Anywhere has the added advantage of being to access your databases from any computer or even your phone. Wordfast Anywhere will store your them and you can access them 99.9% of the time (caveat: Murphy's law dictates that the Wordfast Anywhere server where your databases are stored might need to be rebooted for maintenance when you need them most!). Upload your TMs and glossaries to Wordfast Anywhere and connect to them there. I have had to deal with the same issue and here are some solutions and advice:ġ. Constantly syncing a database and using it at the same time can create it and slow down your computer. Unfortunately, the database format in Wordfast Pro has changed from a simple text file to a database. Surely everyone with an Office 365 subscription uses One Drive? It worked perfectly well with Pro 3. Urrgh! Really considering ditching Wordfast Pro 5 and trying something like CafeTrans.Īre there any One Drive workarounds? Tips anyone might have before I throw in the towel?Īnd now there seems to be the lack of compatibility with One Drive - which I refuse to stop using, because I need all my files backed up in the Cloud and permanently available. reorganising all my files was time-consuming enough I hate having all my previous translated files presented to me when I open a "project" (for me a client for whom I translate frequently) - why do I need to see that? I hate that the "saved as translated" file doesn't immediately offer me the original pathway from where the source file came and now there seems to be the lack of compatibility with One Drive - which I refuse to stop using, because I need all my files backed up in the Cloud and permanently available. I believe it is because I'm using One Drive.Īpologies, I need to vent - I am beyond furious with my automatic Pro 5 upgrade from Pro 3 which did everything I ever needed. I, too, am getting the "collection exception" message for a glossary that Wordfast Pro 5 can't open.
