| Wordfast anywhere - shutting off MT | Dec 11, 2011 |
Just tried wordfast anywhere. Have been watching Dominique Pivard's videos and after he explained the ease of use of dead pdfs with wordfast anywhere, i wanted to try it.
everything is going well but i can't seem to turn off the MT from worldlingo. i turned off google MT successfully, but i seem to be getting more MT (world lingo and microsoft translator). any way of turning these off?
thanks,
motw2word

Have you unticked 'Use MT when no match'? http://screencast.com/t/y5xwcL7z
Have you unticked the relevant checkboxes under 'Details'? http://screencast.com/t/lfN0J0MPtvd
If none of the above mentioned checkboxes are ticked, I fail to see how you could still get MT suggestions.
Anyway, if you only want to use Wordfast Anywhere in order to convert PDF's, you don't need to launch a translation session at all. All you need is a dummy TM in order to give Wordfast Anywhere a clue about the language of your PDF (it will assume it's the source language of your TM).
And as I explained in my previous post on this thread, questions about Wordfast Anywhere are best asked on the dedicated mailing list (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wordfast_Anywhere/ )

I have just caught up on your thread on Wordfast Anywhere. I am also a dedicated user. As a "green eared" novice in the translation business, I had no intention to pay for an expensive device and I found Wordfast Anywhere absolutely by coincidence. And I am really happy. Having completed some projects, though, technical problems start to emerge, so thanks fot the link to the support line.

I am far from being an expert in computers, still one of the first things to upload was a dead PDF - I do not even understand how, but I managed and it was there, ready to be translated. Easy-peasy to use (after about an hour's training from a friend, and this is the first CAT I have ever seen!) so I'll stay with Wordfast.
Thanks for all the tips I got here!!!

| Wordfast Anywhere a godsend if you just need a simple, no-frills CT | Jul 18, 2012 |

The whole-phrase translations suggested by World Lingo and Microsoft Translator are at times helpful, and the automatic translation feature speeds things up considerably (and provides a good laugh from time to time).

| Wordfast Anywhere - How to add a glossary when using a TM server | Apr 13, 2013 |
In the WordFast Anywhere configuration of TM and glossaries. when I check
'use a specific TM server' instead of 'Use my TMs and glossaries',
i cannot select a glossary in addition to the TM.
I see in the configuration screen where I can enter URL of the server, my language pair and the workID, a 'use glossary' button, but it is inactive.
What should I do so that button is activated and I can use a specific glossary in addition to the TM that is on a server.

I used to use Wordfast Anywhere on a Windows/Microsoft computer and it worked fine. However, using it with a Mac I am unable to save the translated document in any format Wordfast Anywhere offers! Has anyone else had this issue?

Have you tried another browser, eg. Chrome or Firefox instead of Safari (or vice-versa)?

In wordfast, when I want to add some terms into glossary, it shows 11 entries. But when I press Ctrl + Alt +G, the screen shows only one entries. Can you please help me? Thank you!

| Wordfast Anywhere data security | May 31, 2015 |
I’m sorry, does anybody know if the software involve any risk about your files? Some people told me that the translation drafts offered by it are made by Google Translator and Google takes your translation to publish it as a new translation idea. Is it true? Are our data protected by any plagiarism online for the security of our client’s documents?
Thank you very much.

We are talking about two different things here: the confidentiality of your data (documents, TM's, glossaries) in Wordfast Anywhere, which is covered here, and the confidentiality of your documents if you elect to use one of the supported machine translation services Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, Worldlingo).
MT services are operated by third-party companies, not Wordfast. Source segments are always sent to these services (again, if you have elected to enable them. Your translations are not sent to them, so they are not going to be "published as new translation ideas". Microsoft Translator has a special "with feedback" version in which your translations are sent to them: it is supported by some other tools (eg. Memsource, SDL Trados Studio), but not by Wordfast.
Note there's no such thing as "Google Translator": the MT service integrated in CAT tools is called Google Translate. Google also have a tool of its own (similar to Wordfast Anywhere, but a lot more basic) called Google Translator Toolkit.
| | | | | Could you post a link? | Jun 3, 2015 |
I have downloaded Wordfast Anywhere on my computer as so many of you liked it in a previous thread, but I must say, that my favourite and only CAT tool is still Memsource. I find Wordfast less practical and cumbersome, but I just tried to find my way around and I didn't see any instruction videos - maybe it is worth giving it another go?
A link to those videos would be very much appreciated.

How could you possibly download Wordfast Anywhere, given that it is entirely online-based (unlike Memsource, in which the editor is installed locally)?

I made a video, but it's a bit old (2.5 years):
http://wordfast.fi/blog/cat-tools/2012/12/23/first-steps-with-wordfast-anywhere/
Several things have changed since, for instance the possibility to view the editor in a vertical layout (table).
I'll probably make a new one in the near future (same with Memsource).

I am not sure what I did, but I looked at it, played with it and arranged an icon on my bookmarks bar.
I will give it another try!
Thanks!

| Stats and status on WF Anywhere? | Jul 17, 2015 |

I haven't found this so far and am really missing it to be able to plan my work and monitor my progress...
