Wordfast for dummies

When you type a beginning of a word, there is a little window that pops up that gives you a suggestion of what the word may be that you are looking for. This is very useful with names for example- you don't have to type the name again and again if it's the same as in the source code. So my problem is- how do I actually use it? I tried tab, enter and it did not work. Do I need to change some settings in my preferences?

The feature is called Autocomplete. It's enabled by default, but people who don't like it (believe it or not, there are such people!) can disable it via Edit > Preferences > Translations > Active Autocomplete

To accept an Autocomplete suggestion, just press Enter. To reject it, continue typing and the little box will disappear. If the box contains several suggestions, use the down arrow to pick up the one you want and press Enter.

Do you use a keyboard utility in order to have your Polish characters?

Hola,

my wordfast pro does not overwrite changed segments in the TM when i clean a txml document, instead it adds the changed segments to the tm, so there are two different entries...why does it not overwrite and how can i fix this?

Thanks
Anand

If my client sends me pdf files to translate and also sends me txml files (containing already translated segments / recuperation), how do I link the two together so that the translated segments propagate into the pdf segments?
