![]() However, as far as I know (and double-checked), Wordfast Pro ignores 01 for example, WF Pro deals with JA-01 just as JA. I haven't checked lately if Pro now tolerates FI-01 for Finnish. For instance, older versions of Classic suggested FI-01 as the code for Finnish, while Pro only accepted FI-FI or FI. Thanks, Yasmin, for pointing this out! However, some language codes that used to be recommended by Wordfast (Classic) earlier on were not accepted by Pro. The other case that WFP might give an error message about the header is if the user tries to open a Trados TXT exported TM. However, in this case the TMX will NOT give an error message about the header it might give rather a message about "Non-compatible locale". So, if it is rather about a TMX, I hope she clarifies that. The post of Christina seems to be about a local Wordfast (Classic) TM. You can even "Add" any TM file while you are in a project with a completely different language pair (however, you cannot select it unless you open a project with the same language pair, of course.) Both cases are different when it is rather a TMX. So, if you even have an FR>EN TM, you can "Select" and leverage (use) it in an FR-FR>EN-US project, whatever. Wordfast Pro is strict about language codes of TMX TMs however, it is very tolerant towards local TMs. So, you can either "Reorganize" or even add the missing % in the latter case manually. I have seen this message with local Wordfast TMs coming form PlusTools or TMs missing the very first % from the header for some reason. The entries of the other TM will be added the currently open TM.If it is really a Wordfast TM, please open the TM in Wordfast Classic and click "Reorganize". Select the other TM (make sure you select "Wordfast TM" from the dropdown menu). It is better usually to work on "copies" of your files.Īnother way is to use Olifant it is very easy. To do so, you can use the special filter "Mark redundant TUs" after which you can delete them using Ctrl+Z. Whatever you select, another message will appear telling you about the number of translation units added at the end of the file and they are marked.Īfter that, you may need to delete repeated entries (e.g. A message will appear asking you to click “Yes" you want to add the translation units of only the selected TM and to click “No" you would like to add all the translation memories in the same folder as the TM that you have just selected for merging. ![]() You should see a dropdown list called "Special Filters".Īmong them is “Merge current TM with another one" After selecting the filter and clicking OK, you can select the TM file which you want to add to the currently active TM. Make sure you are on the TM tab and press Ctrl+O on your keyboard to open one of the TMs you want to merge.Īfter that, click on "Tools" button at the right top. You can open Wordfast Classic Data Editor by clicking the second right button on Wordfast Toolbar. (Make sure you extract the ZIP file first and then follow the instructions in WFReadMe.doc). The ZIP file contains both Wordfast.dot and WFReadMe.doc including the instructions of installing. You can download and install the latest version of Wordfast Classic available at: Just login before you download it and you will be able to get a licensed version. However, I see that you can even license it. To merge TMs, you can use Wordfast Classic Data Editor. I can suggest three ways for merging TMs and you can use the one better for you: It seems odd that I must go outside the programme to accomplish this task. It seems strange to me that Wordfast Pro has no menu item that will do this for the user in the programme. So I merged the two TMs in Notepad following the very brief instructions on the Wordfast web site (essentially using one Header, and pasting the other TM contents at the end of the file). And I find no item called "merge the current TM with another TM." ![]() I have Wordfast Pro, and looking at the above instruction, I would like to know how do I "open the TM editor." And I can find nothing called "special filters" in my Wordfast Pro. There is a filter called 'merge the current TM with another TM.' Use this to merge your TMs." "Open the TM editor, select tools, then select the special filters. But they are quite old (dating from 2003), and I see nothing in there about Wordfast Pro. I notice there is already a discussion about merging two TMs in Wordfast.
