TARGET term NOT SAVED in WFC glossary Thread poster: Itziar Crespo

Hello everyone, I had to deinstall WFC and have installed it again but now I'm having problems with the glossary. When I add a new term to the glossary, I write its translation in the "target term" field but the translation is NOT SAVED and the source term appears instead in the "target term" field. So I get the source term both in the "source term" and the "target term" fields. I can only save the translation if I open the txt file and type it.. which is very annoying. My new...

My new WFC versión is 6.45 and I use Microsoft Word 2007 Any clues? Any solutions? Thanks a lot in advance!

As suggested by Tony M and the WFC manual, I have highlighted the source word, then pressed Ctrl + Alt + T, then doing the same again for the target Word. With my previous versión, I didn't do it that way but pressing twice Ctrl+Alt+T on the source Word highlighted. The dialog box appeared, I entered the target term and it was all correctly saved. Anyway, I'll use this method from now on. Thank you anyway, Itziar | | | TARGET term NOT SAVED in WFC glossary | Jun 6, 2019 |
Hi Itziar I do the following to add terms to the glossary: - I highlight both source and target term - press CMD+ALT+T Terms are saved to the glossary. I'm on a Mac but on a PC using CTRL+ALT+T selecting both terms should give the same result. | | | Samuel Murray Netherlands Local time: 07:54 Member (2006) English to Afrikaans + ... @Itziar and @Wolfgang | Jun 6, 2019 |

The dialog box appeared, I entered the target term and it was all correctly saved. I still use this method sometimes (especially when I want to add a translation that is not currently written in the target field). I use WFC 6.03t.` Wolfgang Schoene wrote: I do the following to add terms to the glossary: - I highlight both source and target term... This would not work in my version of WFC, because in MS Word one can only highlight (i.e. select) one piece of text at a time. Which version of WFC and Word are you using, that allows you to do this?

Hi Samuel, my bad, as usual, I was not reading carefully and did not realize Itziar and you were talking about Wordfast Classic and I about WFP. Sorry about that... | | | Itziar Crespo Spain Local time: 07:54 English to Spanish TOPIC STARTER Comment NOT saved | Jun 7, 2019 |
Thanks a lot, Wolfgang and Samuel, for your replies! I have already changed to this new way of saving: Ctrl+Alt+T on the source term and, then, doing the same with the target term. That works . BUT now, I'm having a new problem: When I add a comment in the Comment box, this is not saved in the txt. Even if I add it in the txt directly, I cannot see it in the drop-down list that appears for choosing one of the target terms already saved in the glossary. Any clues?...
