MTPE - Excel - CAT

Topic: MTPE - Excel - CAT
Poster: Kartik Sarup

I have been given a long excel sheet with two columns to MPTE by a client. The font is too small/rows too long and I cannot change the Excel view.

I have tried to put the Excel file into Wordfast but it only acknowledges the source column and the target row with the MT does not show up.

Does anyone know how to change this or if I can use another CAT tool for this? It needs to be delivered back in the same Excel format.

Thanks!

Post title: MemoQ

MemoQ can import an existing translation from the target column.

However, there is an upper limit for the number of characters it will import per cell. Once, a client had stuffed a complete T&C document into one Excel cell, and MemoQ ignored it.

In MemoQ you can choose how to segment the source cells, but I'm not sure how it works when you also import an existing translation.

If you don't have a licence you should be able to work with one document at a time with the free version.

Depending on what the source file looks like, you may need the normal Excel filter or the multilingual filter for importing it.

It's quite a big Excel file (20,000 words). It needs to be delivered back in Excel as well.

Hi Hans, have you been able to upload an excel sheet for MTPE (i.e. the columns show up in both source/target accordingly) and then deliver it back as the proofed Excel? Thanks

Curiously, WFA's FAQ does not mention this limitation for Excel files:
[url removed]

However, you must understand that WFA is a rather limited CAT tool.

In Wordfast Pro 3 (WFP3), you can choose which columns you want to translate (but you can't identify one column as the source text and another column as the target text). WFP5 simply opens all columns (so it's worse!). Other CAT tools may allow you to select columns better.

In Trados 2019, you can enable the "bilingual Excel" filter and configure it, and that will work.
[url removed]

Sometimes you can use a demo version of a program to open the Excel file and create a file that you can use in another program. For example, you can use a demo version of WFP3 to create TXML files, which you can translate in WFA.

CafeTran is not an online tool, so no files are uploaded.

Also, from your original description it sounds as if you want the first column to load as the source text and the second column (which already contains content) to load as the target text. AFAIK, CafeTran can't do this (based on comments made elsewhere in the forums). What CafeTran can do (but Hans, please confirm), is to take the source text from one column and then write the translation into a different empty column.

Sure thing!

Just drag the Excel file on CafeTran's Dashboard. In the Project configuration click on Filter options and set the source and target column like this:

You can handle the Excel file like any other project, enjoying all CafeTran's whistles and bells. You can even get inspiration from suggestions of any other MT engine available in CafeTran.

This is very well possible in CafeTran Espresso 10 Croissant. It's a nice feature, e.g. to do proofing or to create memories, or glossaries etc. from Excel files. Many other useful workflows possible with this. You'll have to tell CafeTran which column as the source segments, and which one has the target segments:

according to Dominique's video: [url removed]
I've done it myself, but the target column didn't contain any text in this case.

Anyway, of course, the file is way too big to be translated in demo mode.

how to print pdf comments/annotations only and not the document

Topic: how to print pdf comments/annotations only and not the document
Poster: Maxime Bujakov

Hello!
In the past I was using Foxit pdf reader to print only comments in their locations on a blanc sheet (and not the underlying document).
Now, the latest download of Foxit seems to no longer have that option - it only allows to include or exclude comments with the document when printing.

Is there any option that I am missing or another pdf reader that can print comments only?

Thank you in advance!
Maxime

Post title: thank you! but my task is different

Maybe I should re-state my problem:

We used to fill in official forms using a typewriter.
Now I have a form to fill, and what I do is scan it first, then fill in using the pdf comments functionality, then feed the form into the printer and print only comments so that they are printed in the right spots.

This is a quite typical task, how do people do it nowadays otherwise?

thank you!

You can use the Typewriter tool in Foxit Reader unless you are required to use the original paper form.

exactly, I must use the special letterhead paper form.

Used to be nobrainer - print comments _only_ in Foxit = but they seem to have phased out this option??

Sick of tags. Which CAT is easiest with tags & works with Mac?

Topic: Sick of tags. Which CAT is easiest with tags & works with Mac?
Poster: Derek Silva

Hello, apologies in advance for the newbie question. I have been translating for many years without a CAT tool for my prior employer (a bank) and now, having worked with a translation agency for a year, have also used Memsource (which was pretty good).

Recently, I started with another provider who uses memoQ and my first few experiences were nightmarish, dealing with all of the tags.

They want to hold on to me and asked me, "which CAT tool would you prefer?"

Is there a CAT which:
- works directly on Mac (without needing VMware to simulate Windows)
- makes it easy to work with tags (or don't even need to touch them, is that even possible?)
- allows you to still deliver the final product, even if a few tags are unresolved

Not sure if such a tool exists, but no harm in asking!

Having checked through some threads here, it seems that at least these ones work on Mac also?
- Wordfast
- OmegaT
- Cafetran
- Pairaphrase

Thank you :)
