Hello,
Can anyone tell me if I can translate an Excel application (VBA) using Wordfast and if so how or where I can get the information.
Thank you
Susana

AFAIK, Wordfast can't translate native VBA. Not many CAT systems can, if any.
However, if the VBA files can be exported into a Wf-compatible format (Excel, html/xml), then it is possible.

Is it easy to do or should i ask the client to do it ?

Hi
I would suggest opening the VBA and simply copy pasting the text into Word, translate it and then copy paste back into Excel

I would not translate it with Word because there is risk of getting into trouble with Word’s autoformatting options (in particular, Word will apply what Microsoft calls smart quotes and what is actually a dumb feature, which is not acceptable for program code).
BTW, are we talking about Wordfast Classic or Wordfast Pro?
Better copy/paste the VBA code into a text editor, save as plain text and translate with any tool that does not do any modifications in the original file. I would recommend OmegaT for such a task of Wordfast Pro.

If you copy paste things into Word as plain text there are no auto-formatting issues, but Notepad would be just as good, and save it as a txt file, then translate the txt with Wordfast Pro

| Copy into Excel sheet | May 24, 2011 |
I am thinking of copying all the sheets into a normal excel document and translate with Wordfast. Would it still be of any use? I really have no clue how this VBA works.

| Which version of excel do you have? | May 25, 2011 |
To access the vba section in your files you need to open the developer tools the way to do that depends on your excel version.
However if you don't know much about vba, might not be best idea to translate a vba if you don't know anything about it, most of the text will be code and not knowing anything about vba it might be difficult for you to spot what needs translating
