WF Pro: is it possible to track changes? Autor wątku: pcs_MCIL
|
From time to time I have to show the translator my changes in the TXML file during the proofreading phase. I'd like to know if there's a way to track these changes in Wf Pro 3, in a similar way as the track changes featuree of MsWord does. | | | Anne Bohy Francja Local time: 05:20 angielski > francuski Workarounds... | Apr 30, 2012 |
You can unconfirm the segments where you make changes, you can also add a note to a translation unit. This way, during the finalization, the translation can quickly jump (in the Outline) from one "uncomfirmed" or "note" to the next. Personnally, when I get back the proofread version, if I really want to know what has been altered (and I do want, usually), I do a TM look-up on the source text. A "track changes" would be nice, but... it has an overhead, so I don't know if it's worth it...

Thank you for your reply. I am currently using this workaround: I preview the TXML in Word before the proofreading and then after. Finally, I use the "compare" feature in Word to get a tracked changed version of the pre-proof preview. It's just time consuming to add comments and note, and I am not happy with my workaround, either. | | | John Di Rico Francja Local time: 05:20 Członek ProZ.com od 2006 francuski > angielski + ... Use the bilingual review feature in the PM perspective | Apr 30, 2012 |
Check it out! It's new in WF Pro 3.0: bilingual review of RTF export, can add comments as well, then recreate TXML file, clean and save translated file. Good luck, John | |

Dear Paola, The TrackChanges feature is being implemented in Wordfast Pro. In the meanwhile, you have two options: 1- To use the "Bilingual Review" feature, as John suggested, which I agree with you that it is a super feature. 2- To use an external freeware application called ChangeTracker, which supports TXML as well: http://www.change-tracker.com/...
