= Introduction =
Wordfast Anywhere (WFA) is the online version of the popular Wordfast computer assisted translation (CAT) program that provides much of the functionality of the Classic and Pro desktop versions. Instead of being installed as a program on the user’s computer, WFA is made accessible from Wordfast’s servers via a web browser, regardless of the operating system used (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.). Every effort has been made to ensure that the user interface is as close as possible to the other Wordfast flavours: toolbars, icons, shortcuts and working methods. A Wordfast Classic or Pro user should be able to use WFA with almost zero assimilation time.

It is worth remarking that WFA is almost certainly the CAT program that integrates best with the popular Mac operating system. Unlike Java-based, cross-platform programs – including Wordfast Pro – that will run on the Mac but don’t integrate with system-wide tools such as the built in Dictionary, WFA will run in Mac-native browsers such as Safari, thus giving you access to the entire range of language and text handling tools that are built into the Mac OS environment.

[[File:WFA_pagina_5_new.jpg]]
[[File:WFA_pagina_6_new.jpg]]

With WFA you can translate a wide range of both editable (TXT, DOC, DOCX, RTF, XLS, PPT, ODT, HTML, TXML, MIF, INX, etc.) and non-editable (PDF, TIFF) documents. You can store up ten current documents in your workspace, deleting your finished translations to free up space and permit new documents to be uploaded. 

You can also import the TMs (translation memories) of all the language pairs you work in. Your memories will progressively expand as and when you translate. They are stored securely and will not be shared or revealed without your authorisation. If you need a local copy, you can download your TM to your computer at any time. 

As is the case with other Wordfast flavours, you can add terms to your glossary as you translate. You can also upload existing glossaries to your workspace, for all language pairs. Here again, your glossaries are secure and will not be shared or revealed unless you specifically invite a colleague. You can also download your glossary if you need a local copy. 

The following instructions have been written for complete beginners. Having understood the above comments, a Wordfast Classic or Pro user should have no difficulty in using WFA intuitively.

Check the '''[[Wordfast Anywhere Start Guide]]''' for a quick start.

= File Operations =
=== Upload ===
To translate your document, you must first upload it to WFA. To do this, click on '''''File''''' tab => '''''Upload''''' [[File:Add_File_To_Project16.png]] button. 

[[File:warning.png]] There is a file size limit of 20 Mb.  

The following window will be displayed: 

[[File:Upload_doc.png]]

There are several ways to upload a document
* '''From local file''': Use '''''Browse...''''' to navigate through the directories on your computer and locate the document to be uploaded.
* '''From URL''': This option allows you to upload a file that is located on an Internet server by entering the address (URL) into the field. This feature is useful for tablet computers and other mobile devices that do not possess a hard drive.
* '''From Google Drive''': Choose a file from your Google Drive to be uploaded. You'll be asked to allow access rights to WFA before choosing the file. This feature is useful for tablet computers and other mobile devices that do not possess a hard drive.
* '''From Dropbox''': Choose a file from your Dropbox to be uploaded. You'll be asked to allow access rights to WFA before choosing the file. This feature is useful for tablet computers and other mobile devices that do not possess a hard drive.
* '''From Clipboard''': Paste the text to be uploaded into the text area. A text file will be created with the text.

At the bottom of the window click on '''''View allowed formats''''' to check the allowed formats:

Finally click on:
* '''''Upload''''': to only upload the file, which will be listed on the Document Management.
* '''''Upload and Open''''': to upload and open the document, which will be displayed in the document panel.

[[File:warning.png]] Depending on the size of the file, this may take some time. Please be patient.

Upload can also be done by using drag and drop area below the document list.

=== Open ===
To open a document, first select it from the list of documents. There are 2 options on '''[[{{PAGENAME}}#File Tab|File tab]]''':

* '''''Open''''' button [[File:Translate_File16.png]]: will open a document and show all the segments
* '''''Fuzzy Open''''' button [[File:Translate_File16.png]]: will open a document, but only segments with a score lower than 100.

=== Segmentation ===
In order to be translated with a CAT tool, a document is divided into translation units (TUs), also known as segments. This process is called segmentation. A segment is a text string that ends with a terminator segment, usually the period (.), colon (:), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!) and also a paragraph or end of cell mark, a page break or a tab. This can be modified, as you will see later. The advantage of segmentation is that the translation units are presented to you one by one, without any danger of missing one. These segments form the basis for the TUs that are saved in the TM, consisting of the source segment (to translate) and the target segment (translated).

=== Review ===
Once translated, the text should be revised. Here are some methods:
* Download the translated document immediately to view it in your favourite word processor.
* Download it in an offline review format. See '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Offline_Review_Tool|Offline Review Tool (OFRT)]]'''.
* Revise it in WFA using '''Trancheck''', '''Spellcheck''' and '''Preview''' tools. See below.
* If you are using the Classic mode for the document Layout (See the '''''Doc Layout''''' button [[File:batchmonitor16_views.png]] on '''''View''''' tab) , you can toggle the display between the bilingual document, the original document and the translated document, use the shortcut '''Ctrl+,''' (Ctrl+comma). A different display mode is presented with each iteration. To confirm what you see in front of you, check the indicator on the status bar: bilingual document (Bilingual), original document (Source) or translated document (Target). You can also click on the indicator to change it. Please note this action does not alter the document in any way. It only changes the way that it is displayed in a way that is more convenient for the task you are currently engaged in.

==== Transcheck ====
Click on the '''''Transchek''''' button [[File:Transcheck16.png]] of the '''''Review''''' tab. Transcheck provides the means to check translated content for missing tags, empty targets, numbers, untranslated segments, and terminology.

Click on the [[File:Transcheck16.png]] '''''Transchek''''' button on '''''Review''''' tab. Transcheck provides the means to check translated content for missing tags, empty targets, numbers, untranslated segments, and terminology.

* Link to a remote TM hosted on a private Wordfast server
* Link to a Very Large TM hosted on a public Wordfast server

 
To create an empty TM, click on the '''''Create''''' button of the TM buttons area.

[[File:CreateTm.png]] 

Choose source and target language codes. It is recommended that you have only one TM for each language pair. This way, you will benefit from everything you have already translated in each pair. However, there may be reasons for you to maintain different TMs in the same language pair. In this case, enter an ID using up to 10 characters in the Assigned Name field.
<br>Then click on the '''''Save''''' button of the '''''Create TM''''' dialog box. Your TM has now been created and is selected in the list of TMs.


To Upload an existing TM, click on the '''''upload'''' button.

[[File:CreateTm_2.png]]

If you already have a TM that you use with Wordfast Classic or Pro, you can upload it to WFA. The codes for source and target languages are written in the header of the TM file. If you already have a TM in the same pair, make sure that you enter an identifier of up to 10 characters in the Assigned Name field.
<br>This procedure is exactly the same if you have a TM from another CAT tool. However, check first that this TM has been exported in the '''TMX''' format, the standard file format with extension '''.tmx''' supported by all major CAT tool developers.
<br>Click on the '''''Upload''''' button of the '''''Upload''''' dialog box, you will be prompted to browse a local file on your PC.


To add a remote TM or VLTM, click on the '''''add''''' button.

[[File:AddTm_1.png]]

Select the type TM in the list box.

[[File:AddTm_2.png]]

For adding a remote TM, copy paste the given URL in the URL field and the workgroup ID, if any, in the workgroup ID field.
<br>If you have already a remote TM with the same languages, you will need to enter a symbolic name.
<br>Click on the '''''Test connection''''' button to test the remote TM. If the test is OK, then click on the '''''Add''''' button.


[[File:AddTm_3.png]]

WFA has access to the public TM server, which consists of segments offered by the community of translators and is available to all under the name VLTM (Very Large Translation Memory). The TM is unrestricted, free of charge and anonymous.
<br>For a VLTM, you need to enter source and target language codes.
<br>Click on the '''''Test connection''''' button to test if the VLTM is available for your languages. If the test is OK, then click on the '''''Add''''' button.

==== Appending a TM to an existing TM ====
You can upload and append a TM to one of your existing TMs by clicking on the '''''merge''''' button. 

[[File:MergeTm.png]]

<br>The process is slightly the same than uploading a TM but you should first select the existing TM in the list. The memory to import will already have predefined source and target languages codes in the header of the TM. There may therefore be a conflict of languages between it and the existing memory. If the languages are different, the merge operation will be rejected. 
<br>You also have the choice, in case there are identical source segments, to add always the TM segments, or to not add duplicated segments from the TM. Select '''Add always''' or '''Do not add duplicate''' in the list box.
<br>By default, the merge process will not take language variants into account. If you want to make sure exactly the same variants are merged, tick the '''append TUs having the same variant''' option.
<br>Finally click on the '''''Merge''''' button of the '''''Append TUs''''' dialog box

==== Selecting an existing TM for translating a document ====
'''Caution''': If your TM is selected in the TM list, it does not mean selected for translating a document.
To select a TM for translation, you have to tick it in the '''active''' column and click on the '''''Save''''' button of the '''''TMs & Glossaries''''' dialog box.
In this example above, 2 EN>FR TMs and 2 EN>FR glossaries are set active for translation. 


[[File:warning.png]] Depending on its size, uploading a TM may take some time. In this case, it can be run in the background, allowing you to perform other tasks while you are waiting.

=== Glossary ===
The use of incorrect terminology can ruin an otherwise good translation. Many clients have a well-defined terminology (the jargon of the trade), compiled in the form of a glossary. By supplying this glossary to their translators, clients can impose a particular terminology. In adopting this approach, very common in technical translation, the end result should harmoniously fuse the linguistic competence of the translator with the terminological requirements of the client.

Sometimes the client will ask the translator to provide a glossary of terms arising from research undertaken during the translation. In this case, the translator must create a glossary and add specific terminology to it. This glossary building can either be done prior to translation (in an initial terminology research phase), or during the translation itself.

In many cases, however, the client provides a bilingual glossary, which has already been created during the course of previous translations. It is then up to the translator to comply strictly with it and, where appropriate, to add his or her own contributions.

When the translation work is of a more general nature (and especially if a translator is still in the process of acquiring the general vocabulary of a source language), WFA’s glossary function can also be used to itemise terminology that is encountered during the course of the translation process.

Wordfast Anywhere is designed to assist the translator in all the cases mentioned above through the implementation of its glossary function. This glossary consists of a simple tab-delimited text document, which – like the TM – can be uploaded to and downloaded from WFA, shared with other CAT programs, etc. as required.

==== Creating a glossary ====
Like TM there are several ways to create or add a glossary:
* Create an empty standard WFA glossary
* Upload an existing glossary
* Link to remote glossaries
* Link to Tilde Terminology services
* Link to a IATE glossary


To create an empty glossary, click on the '''''Create''''' button of the glossary buttons area and follow the same TM pattern.

To Upload an existing glossary, click on the '''''upload''''' button of the glossary buttons area and follow the same TM pattern.
<br>Allowed file types are simple tabulated text file (*.txt) (source + tab + target), Wordfast glossary text file (*.txt), Excel file (*.xls, *.xlsx) and TBX file (*.tbx).
<br>Excel files must be simple:
* 1st Column: Source (compulsory)
* 2nd Column: Target (compulsory)
* 3rd Column: Comment (optional)
* 4th Column: F1 (optional)
* 5th Column: F2 (optional)
* 6th Column: F3 (optional)

<br>Unlike with a TM, WFA cannot derive the source and target language information from the header of the glossary file; therefore this must be specified here.
<br>Once the glossary has been uploaded, you will receive a report summarising the operation:
<br>You will see how many terms have been submitted for upload, how many were rejected as invalid or duplicates well as the total number of terms added.

To add a remote glossary or Tilde Terminology services, click on the '''''add''''' button.

[[File:AddGlossary_1.png]]

Select the type in th elist box.

[[File:AddGlossary_2.png]]

For adding a remote glossary, copy paste the given URL in the URL field.
<br>If you have already a remote glossary with the same languages, you will need to enter a symbolic name.
<br>Click on the '''''Test connection''''' button to test the remote glossary. If the test is OK, then click on the '''''Add''''' button.


[[File:AddGlossary_3.png]]

For setting Tilde Terminology services, you need to select source and target languages and a domain.
<br>Click on the '''''Test connection''''' button to test if you have collections. If the test is OK, then click on the '''''Add''''' button.


[[File:addIATE.png]]

To set an IATE glossary, just select the source and target languages. Only languages from the European community are supported.
Click on the '''''Test connection''''' button and if the glossary exists, click on the '''''Add''''' button.

[[File:addIATE2.png]]

By default not all IATE terminology is showed, but you can enable it by checking '''''Show all common terminology'''''.

==== Appending terms from a local glossary to an existing glossary in Wordfast Anywhere ====
You can upload and append a glossary to one of your existing glossaries by clicking on the '''''merge''''' button. 

[[File:MergeGlo.png]]

<br>The process is slightly the same than uploading but you should first select the existing glossary in the list. 
<br>You have the choice, in case there are identical entries (source and target), to add always or to not add duplicated. Select '''Add always''' or '''Do not add duplicate''' in the list box.
<br>Finally click on the '''''Merge''''' button.

==== Selecting one or more glossaries for translation ====
'''Caution''': If your glossary is selected in the glossary list, it does not mean selected for translation.
To select a glossary for translation, you have to tick it in the '''active''' column and click after on the '''''Save''''' button of the '''''TMs & Glossaries''''' dialog box.


==== Using a glossary ====

[[File:Use glossary.png]]

* Whenever WFA recognises a term from the glossary in the source segment it highlights it against a blue background

* The terms highlighted in blue are considered as placeables. They can thus be manipulated with the [[File:Previous_Placeable16.png]] and [[File:Next_Placeable16.png]] icons or the Ctrl+Alt+Right and Ctrl+Alt+Left shortcuts and by clicking on them with the mouse or by typing their initial letter + Tab. The difference is that, when you use the [[File:Copy_Placeable16.png]] icon or the Ctrl+Alt+Down shortcut, it is the corresponding translation that is copied to the target segment. The most easy way to copy a target is probably to use the Auto-suggest feature, enabled by default. Target terms are proposed by typing the first letter of the target term of the 3 first letters of the source term. <br>[[File:Auto-suggest target term.png]] [[File:Auto-suggest target term 2.png]].

* You can see in advance what the translation of the highlighted items is by activating the glossary panel (keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+H or by selecting it from the '''''View''''' tab => '''''Show/Hide Glossary''''' [[File:panelGlo.png]] button )

* If you want to know more about a term, i.e. the information that you or someone else has entered in the comment or F1, F2 and F3 fields, place your mouse over the source term and this information will be displayed. See above the bubble of the last term on the glossary panel (translation).


==== Adding terms to the glossary ====

[[File:Add_term.png]]

It is quite likely that you will want to incorporate terms you come across in the source text into the glossary together with their translations that arise as part of your research process. This way, your linguist’s memory will be reinforced and you are less likely to have to research the same word or phrase again in the future. WFA allows you to do this dynamically, at any time and without exiting your translation process.

First, select the term in the source text. If it consists of one word, you can simply click on it or use the Tab key to move forwards (or Shift+Tab to move backwards) through the text until you reach its position.

The word you have selected will be highlighted against a red border.

Then click on the target term in the target segment.

The selected target term will have a blue background.

[[File:Select terms.png]]

Next, invoke the Glossary Dialog Box by typing Ctrl+Alt+T, or clicking the '''''Add Term''''' [[File:TermEdit.png]] button.

If a single word, the terms you highlighted in the source and target segments should automatically appear in the Source and Target fields. 
If the terms consists of more than one word, it may be necessary to paste the text into the fields from your computer’s clipboard or type the information manually.

You can also add a comment – something that may prove useful in the future, e.g. if you want to remember the situation in which this translation was used. The F1, F2 and F3 fields may be used to store word role, context, grammatical form or any other relevant text-based information. 

Then click Save to confirm.


==== Fuzzy terminology recognition ====
Each time you open a segment, Wordfast Anywhere checks for the presence in the glossary of all words and terms contained in the source segment. This operation is called terminology recognition. The recognised terms are highlighted in blue in the source segment, as discussed above.

In establishing a correspondence between the terms of the source segment and the terms found in the glossary, WFA will both recognise an exact match and attempt to recognise fuzzy matches.

WFA employs a stemming algorithm for some languages (e.g. German) in order to recognise different forms of the same word that may correspond to those listed in the glossary.

For example, WFA can recognised the infinitive verb ‘besuchen’ as being related to the adjective (or past participle) ‘besucht’ due to the fact that the two words share a common stem.

Fuzzy matching can also be established by using an asterisk in combination with the term. This method overrides the stemming algorithm, allowing you to find all terms that begin with, end with or contain a particular text string.

=== Concordance search ===
Segments stored in the TM are retrieved only if they have a minimum level of correspondence with the source segment (by default 75%). However, even if the level of correspondence is not sufficient to produce a fuzzy match, the TM may still contain terms that you have previously translated and wish to use in your current translation. To search in the memory you have two options:

1) Click on the '''''Concordance''''' button [[File:ConcordanceSearch.png]]  or use the '''Ctrl+Alt+C''' shortcut. The following window appears:

[[File:concordance.png]]

Enter the word or text string you want to research in the Search field. WFA will search for all words that are the same or begin with the same sequence of letters as the string entered. 

You can also select the word or text string with the mouse and then click on  the '''''Concordance''''' button [[File:ConcordanceSearch.png]] or '''Ctrl+Alt+C''' shortcut. The result will be displayed immediately.

You can edit or delete a term in the concordance search window by clicking on the edit or delete links.

You can add to your search possibilities by choosing the Advanced option:
* Two words or text strings (search terms) separated by a space: one or the other must exist in the TU
* Two terms separated by the + sign: both terms must exist
* A term ending with an asterisk: a search is performed for all text strings containing the search term. 

When you use this option, a help line is displayed to remind you how this command works.

=== Searching in a glossary===
You can also search in the glossary. To do this, click the '''''Glossary Search''''' button [[File:GlossarySearch.png]] or use the '''Ctrl+Alt+G''' shortcut:

[[File: Glossary search.png]]

Type the source language word you wish to search for in the Search field and click OK. The list of glossary entries that contain the search term will be displayed.
You can edit or delete a term in the glossary search window by clicking on the edit or delete icons.

By employing an asterisk in the search term, you can expand your search to find all glossary entries that include the text string that the search term is made up of.

== TM & Glossary Advanced features ==

=== TM operations ===
==== View/Edit a TM ====
Select the TM in the list then click on the '''''Edit''''' button.

[[File:ViewEditTm.png]]

The dialog box displays the TM information.  Depending on the TM type, you can edit some properties.
* Standard WFA TM : you have the possibility to define attributes of your TM, which will allow you to subsequently identify its segments. Click on the '''Attributes''' tab.
[[File:EditTmAttributes.png]]

There are five attributes in a Wordfast TM: the first is fixed and immutable, consisting of the name of the user. The other four can be defined by each user at will, but it is recommended to use attribute 1 to describe the subject of the text to be translated and attribute 2 for the client, to maintain compatibility with Wordfast Classic and Wordfast Pro users. Attributes consist of codes, usually 3 letters, followed by a brief description. In the fields referred to as TM attribute 1 to 4, enter the name of the attribute (subject, client, etc.). In the field on their right, select one of the attributes that appear on the drop-down list or, if necessary, click '''add''' to add an attribute, '''upd''' to update it or '''del''' to delete it. Whatever option is chosen, a dialog will appear asking for the code of the attribute (ID) and a brief description (Name, ignored for the Del option).
[[file:EditTmAttributes_add.png]] [[file:EditTmAttributes_update.png]] [[file:EditTmAttributes_delete.png]]

Dynamic codes : Predefined attributes can be added by entering a code between accolades as explain in the help.

For instance this can be used on Wordfast Pro 3.4.9, where there is a tab for Wordfast Anywhere TM and glossaries.

[[File:Wpftab.png]]

Check [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVOMOYfR2ws&feature=em-subs_digest this video] about how to do it. 

<br>Although the API key is for a combined TM and glossary, on Wordfast Pro 3.4.9 you need to add it twice: one for TM and one for glossary


Wordfast Pro 5 users can check [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7QCHNpRtKo&feature=em-subs_digest this video].

= Translation =
== Preparation of the translation environment ==
Before beginning the translation of a document using a CAT tool, you must first have an active Translation Memory.

'''Note''': an initial TM was automatically set up when you created your account. 

The TM consists of a database, which will record each source language segment (i.e. sentence, phrase) that you translate, together with the corresponding target language segment. As it grows, this increasingly allows you to obtain translations of phrases made previously that are the same or similar to the one you are currently translating.

For more information check '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Translation_Memory|Translation Memory basics]]'''.

== Translating ==
To start the translation, you must first open the initial segment. 

To do this, click on '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:StartNext.png]] '''''Start/Next''''' button or use the ''Alt + Down'' shortcut . When you do this, the document area is transformed: the segment is displayed in light blue block (source), a grey block (target) is placed just below it and the rest of your document is shown on the rest of the page. The cursor is located in the grey block.

Translate the segment in the grey block
 
[[File:StartTrans.png|1200px]]

After translating this segment, you can continue with your translation. To move to the next segment, click on the [[File:StartNext.png]] '''''Start/Next''''' or use the ''Alt+Down'' shortcut. Remember this shortcut, as you will use it for each segment you translate. You can also move to previous segment by clicking on '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Previous.png]] '''''Previous''''' or use the ''Alt + Up'' shortcut.  

Now translate the segment as before.
  
Now that you get the idea, you can continue to translate. Remember: to move from one segment to the next, use ''Alt+Down''. To return to the previous segment (to correct something that you subsequently realised was mistaken), use ''Alt+Up''.

Following are some '''other considerations''' regarding the translation of segments.

'''Note''': Most browser / OS combinations, including Firefox, Safari and Chrome, have their own spell checker – in some cases it may be necessary for you to activate it. You can also use '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Spellcheck|Spellcheck]]'''

There is color code for the target block:  
* Grey is the no match from the TM (score=0)
* Green is the full match from the TM (score=100)
* Yellow is a fuzzy match from the TM (score between 50 to 99)
* Orange is a MT proposition
* Purple is the color when the segment has been modified by the editor

Score information can be found in different places depending on the view. 
For '''Classic view''' it can be found on ''<}score{>'' tag between source and target segment.

[[File:ScoreC.png|1200px]]


For '''Horizontal''' and '''Vertical views''' there is a column for the score. 
 
[[File:ScoreH.png|1200px]]

[[File:ScoreV.png|1200px]]

=== Tags ===

Before translating this new segment, pay attention to the tag <span style="color: red;"><1></span>, which appears here at the end. WFA is not a word processor and thus does not concern itself with a specific representation of the document's formatting. You'll see no changes in size or typeface, no bold or italic characters. Instead, this information is encoded and represented by what we call "tags", e.g. <span style="color: red;"><1></span>. By slowly passing your mouse over this tag you will see what it represents. This tag is not to be translated, but it should be placed on the appropriate position in the target segment. If you want to recopy a tag from the source segment please type <b><</b> to trigger the tags proposal.

[[File:tagProposal.png]]

You can also copy it by using the comands on '''Translation''' tab: [[File:Next_Placeable16.png]] '''Next Pl.''' (''Ctrl+Alt+Right'') and [[File:Previous_Placeable16.png]] '''Previous Pl.''' (''Ctrl+Alt+Left'') to navigate the source segment to the desired tag. A red frame indicates the selected item. Then position the cursor in the target segment and click on [[File:Toggleplaceable16.png]] '''Copy Pl.'''(''Ctrl+Alt+Down''). 

Differences on the formatting tags (<span style="color: red;"><1></span>, <span style="color: red;"><2></span>) between source and target segment can make the file filter aligner have difficulties to build up the translated document.

Check there is no ''segments with tag difference'' using one of this options:
# Click on [[File:Statistics16.png]] '''''Statistics''''' button on '''File''' tab to get a report. Check if there are any ''segments with tag difference''. Use '''''Show Outline''''' [[File:PanelOutline.png]] button on '''View''' tab to go straight to one segment.
# Click on [[File:FindReplace.png]] '''''Find & Replace''''' button on '''Edit''' tab. Go to ''Miscellaneous'' tab and run a ''Tag difference'' search. Segments with tag differences will be listed.

On the listed segments you must pay attention to:
# There is no target tag missing that exists on source.
# The target tag order is different from source order. For example [<span style="color: red;"><1></span>text text<span style="color: red;"><2></span>] on source but [<span style="color: red;"><2></span>text text<span style="color: red;"><1></span>] on target.
# The target tag content is not identical with the source tag. You can see the content of the tag when the mouse is over it.

[[File:Warning.png]] We '''do not recommend to use copy/paste or drag and drop''' to copy the tags as it can copy more than the eye can see and be problematic. It is better to use the the auto-suggest feature with tags (whenever you want to add a tag just type < and the list of tags from source will be proposed for selection) or the [[File:Copy_Placeable16.png]] '''Copy Placeable''' on '''Translation''' tab.

== Main commands ==

=== Provisional segment ===
You may be unsure whether your translation of a segment is correct. To avoid having to interrupt your translation process, you can mark the segment as provisional. 

It will be identified by a yellow square at the beginning of the line for '''Classic view''' or at the end of the row for '''Horizontal''' and '''Vertical views'''.

To mark a segment as provisional, use the F10 key or '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Mark.png]] '''''Provisional'''''.

When you have resolved any doubts, simply return to the marked segment and make your corrections. Use ''Alt+Down'' ( [[File:StartNext.png]] ) or ''Alt-Up'' ( [[File:Previous.png]] ) to validate the segment and erase the yellow square.

=== Auto propagate ===
Use this command to translate a segment and automatically propagate the current segment changes through all the document to other segments having the same source.

Find it in '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Autopropagate.png]] '''''Auto Propagate'''''.

=== Note ===
You can also write a note to be attached to the segment for the duration of the translation (in a similar manner to a Post-ItTM). You can use this to remind yourself of something important about this segment or to pass information on to people who will have access to your translation, such as reviewers. 

To write a note, click on '''''Edit''''' tab => [[File:Edit_Note16.png]] '''''Edit Note'''''. 

The following text box will be displayed:
  
[[File:Editnote.png|1200px]]

Write your note in the text box and click Save. You can cancel the operation by clicking Cancel. In the case of an existing note, you can edit and validate it by clicking Save, or delete it by clicking Remove.

A green square will be placed at the beginning of the segment to indicate that a note is attached. By passing the mouse pointer over this square, you will see a rectangle containing the text of the note.

It will be identified by a grey square with an "i" in it at the beginning of the line for '''Classic view''' or at the end of the row for '''Horizontal''' and '''Vertical views'''.
 
[[File:Editnote2.png|1200px]]

[[File:Warning.png]] Notes can be downloaded by going to '''''File''''' tab => [[File:Save16.png]] '''''Download''''' and choosing the '''''Notes Report'''''

=== Copying the original segment ===
Sometimes a segment contains very little to translate: for example, when it consists almost entirely of proper names or is made up of a website address. In this case, it may be preferable to copy the entire source segment to the target segment and make any adjustments there. 

To do this, click on '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:CopySource.png]] '''''Copy Source'''''. or use the shortcut ''Alt-Ins'.

=== Erasing the target segment ===
Sometimes it is necessary to erase what you have just written in the target segment.

To do this, click on '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Cleanup_Project16.png]] '''''Del Target'''''. or use the shortcut ''Ctrl+Alt+X''.

This button has a toggle behaviour through: Empty target, Remove tags and Restore.

=== Insertion of a special character like the non-breaking space ===
When you write in French, some characters must be accompanied by a non-breaking space: e.g. before the colon, semicolon, exclamation mark, question mark, exclamation mark, before and after quotes, thousands separators, and so on. In WFA, a non-breaking space is represented by the symbol <span style="color: red;">< ></span>. 

However, such spaces cannot be automatically handled in an Internet browser as they are when using a text editor such as Word. Therefore it will be necessary to add them manually. By default, a non-breaking space is inserted at the cursor location by clicking on '''''Edit''''' tab => [[File:Insert_c1.png]] '''''Insert Special Character 1'''''. 

Two other special characters can be inserted like the curly quotes. Use '''''Edit''''' tab => [[File:Insert_c2.png]] '''''Insert Special Character 2''''' and [[File:Insert_c3.png]] '''''Insert Special Character 3'''''.

You can configure these 3 special characters in WFA setup (see '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Pandora.27s_box_tab|Pandora’s box]]''').

=== Expanding a segment ===
As we have seen, WFA considers that the segment is terminated when it encounters a segment termination marker. However, in some cases this segmentation is in error. For example, when WFA’s segmentation engine meets the following sentence:
	''On pense aux conseils de Prof. Jacques Lacan:'' 
it can interpret the segment as ending with ''Prof.'' because a full stop is used as an end of segment marker. In this case we can command WFA to expand the segment, that is to say, to append the subsequent segment to it. 
 
[[File:exspand1.png]]

This is done with the ''Alt+Pg'' dn shortcut or '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Expand_Segment16.png]] '''''Expand'''''. 
 
[[File:exspand2.png]]

It is important to expand segments when the segmentation has not been performed correctly because this will increase the chances of it corresponding with a translation memory segment. For example, the segment ''On pense aux conseils de Prof.'' will have little chance of having a similarity of over 75% with another. By contrast, if the sentence ''On pense aux conseils de Prof. Jacques Lacan:'' is in the TM, when WFA encounters the source sentence ''On pense aux conseils de Professeur Jacques Lacan'', it will offer the existing translation, as it has 90% similarity (it is only the word Professor that is not the same).  

A segment cannot be expanded if it is terminated by an end of paragraph or end of cell marker, a page break or a tab.

You should not have to expand all segments containing abbreviations that end with a full stop. A comma-separated, modifiable list of common language-specific abbreviations is included in WFA . This can be accessed and modified via the segmentation tab in the configuration dialog box [case-sensitive, optional letters are enclosed in square brackets].

[[File:Abbrev.png]]

=== Shrinking a segment ===
If, on the other hand, two segments are erroneously displayed together due to an absence of an end of segment marker, you can also shrink the segment with the shortcut ''Alt-Pg'' up or ''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:ShrinkSeg.png]] '''''Shrink'''''.

=== Placeables ===

A placeable is any term or expression contained in the source segment that is defined as such. WFA provides shortcuts for inserting them into the target segment, thus both saving time and reducing the potential for typing errors.

WFA predefines as placeables:
*Numbers
*Tags
*Words beginning with, or otherwise containing, capital (upper case) letters
*Words or phrases appearing in the source text that have matching items stored in the '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Glossary|Glossary]]'''.

We have already seen how to copy tags. Given that a tag is a placeable, the procedure is the same: to copy any placeable, simply select it with the comands on '''Translation''' tab: [[File:Next_Placeable16.png]] '''Next Pl.''' (''Ctrl+Alt+Right'') and [[File:Previous_Placeable16.png]] '''Previous Pl.''' (''Ctrl+Alt+Left'').

You also have the possibility of clicking on any term in the source text, thus placing it under focus and temporarily transforming it into a placeable. A red frame indicates the item selected.

Next, position the cursor in the target segment at the point where the placeable should be positioned or double-click (click and drag) to select the word (phrase) to be replaced and click on the  on [[File:Toggleplaceable16.png]] '''Copy Pl.'''(''Ctrl+Alt+Down''). The placeable is copied to the relevant position in the target segment. 

In this sentence, the placeable elements, selected by ''Ctrl+Alt+Right'' or  [[File:Next_Placeable16.png]], are: 

[[File:place1.png]]
(starts with a capital letter)

[[File:place2.png]]
(number)

[[File:place3.png]]
(tag)

And, if necessary, any term may be designated as a placeable simply by clicking on it:

[[File:place4.png]]

As you translate the text, you only want to place those elements that should not be translated:

[[File:place5.png]]

At this point, you want to write ‘Chenjerai.’. However it may be faster and more efficient (as well as reducing the possibility of error) to select the item using ''Ctrl+Alt+Right'' or [[File:Next_Placeable16.png]] (or even by simply clicking on it) and place it into the segment target with ''Ctrl+Alt+Down'' or  [[File:Toggleplaceable16.png]]. 

[[File:place6.png]]

The following proper noun ‘Hove’ is also a placeable, so you can repeat the procedure. Simply use the '''Tab key''' on your keyboard to advance from one placeable to the next (or '''Shift+Tab''' to move in the opposite direction).

[[File:place7.png]] 

You can also use the ''Ctrl+Alt+Up'' shortcut or [[File:Dropdown.png]] '''Toggle Pl.'' on '''Translation''' tab to transform terms in the source segment into placeables. 

For even greater efficiency, if you type a letter that begins a word or term in the source segment and then successively press Tab, all words or terms beginning with that letter are successively copied to the target segment. For example, in the above sentence, typing ''l'' followed by '''Tab''' will copy ''lyrique'' to the target. Each time you press the Tab key, the word or term that has been copied to the target segment will be replaced by the next 
word or term appearing in the source segment that begins with the same letter, i.e. ''le'', ''laisse'' and so on.

=== Case changer ===
Use this feature to toggle through: lowercase, uppercase and proper name for a word. This feature can be used in one word (by putting the cursor inside the word), or with more than one word (by selecting several words with the mouse or Shift+Left/Right Arrow).
Beware that some times it gets crazy with the first and last word.

Use it bu clicking on '''''Edit''''' tab => [[File:CaseChanger.png]] '''''Case Changer'''''.

=== Increase target height ===
You can increase the target height by clicking on '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Increase_target.png]] '''''Target Height'''''.

=== Web Speech Beta ===
[[File:Warning.png]] '''ONLY''' available for Chrome.

This is a beta implementation that uses Google Web Speech API to insert your dictation into the target segment. 

To use it, first open the segment and then click on  '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Mic.png]] '''''Web Speech Beta''''' button to start the dictation. The icon will change to indicate recording is on. To stop dictation click again on the button. 

You can add a shortcut to this command. 

You can jump to the next segment as always and keep on dictating. Or you can stop dictation, jump to the next segment and start dictation again. 

A provisional transcription will be shown as an auto-suggest text and the final transcription will be inserted on the target segment. The provisional transcription might not be accurate while final transcription should be quite accurate and may be different from provisional transcription.

Please take into account that this is a beta implementation and that voice transcription is done online so there can be delays when dictating. We encourage you to use it and give us some feedback.

[[File:Warning.png]] It can be that Chrome keeps asking you to allow the use of the microphone every time. You need to check the Chrome settings: "Privacy>Content Settings>Microphone>Manage exceptions". There you should have an exception for https:freetm.com.

If you are connected to the site via HTTS the grant is permanent, if you use HTTP, you are asked each time.

=== Edit Source ===
Using '''''Edit''''' tab => [[File:EditSource16.png]] '''''Edit Source''''' will help you to correct the source text in order to have valid TU in memory.

This will not change the source file and obviously will not automatically change the target segment.

=== Ending the translation ===
If for any reason you want to stop translating, you have three choices: 
* Close the translation and validate the current segment in the TM ('''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:CloseSave.png]] '''''Close''''' => or [[File:CloseSave.png]] '''''Close & Commit''''' or ''Alt+End'')
* Close the translation without validating it ('''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:CloseSave.png]] '''''Close''''' => or [[File:Close.png]] '''''Close''''' or ''Shift+Alt+End'')
* Clear the content of the target segment, together with any attached note, by clicking on '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:CloseSave.png]] '''''Close''''' => or [[File:Close_restore.png]] '''''Close & Delete''''' .

== After Translation ==

When your translation is finished, you use one of our '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Review|Review]]''' tools before '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Download|Download]]''' it.



= Tools =
=== Downloading TXML file ===
You can download your document in TXML format, the standard working file format used by WFA. This permits you, for example, to send the file to a colleague for review using Wordfast Anywhere or Pro. Once reviewed and corrected, you can upload it again.

To download your working file go to [[File:Save16.png]] '''''Download''''' button on '''''File''''' tab and choose '''''Bilingual TXML'''''.

[[File:DownloadTypesList.png]]

If your translation is incomplete or contains provisional segments or notes, you will receive this warning:

[[File:DownloadConfirmation.png]]

At this point you have the choice to accept (OK) or cancel (Cancel) to return to your translation. If you accept, you will need to consider the following dialog:

[[File:DownloadOptions2a.png]]

You can optionally instruct WFA to copy the source segment to the target segment if it is blank (check Copy source to target if target is empty) and/or to ignore language variations, e.g. to not make a distinction between British and American English (check No language variants).

Choose the way to download the file and click '''''OK''''' to donwload the file.

=== Merging TXML files ===
If you already have a file in TXML format you can upload it to your workspace. To do this go to '''''File''''' tab and click on the [[File:Mergetms16.png]] '''Merge Txml''' button. At this point you must complete the following dialog box:

[[File:Mergetxml.png]]

By checking Merge an existing document, all documents that exist in your workspace will be listed according to language pair, and you will have to choose which will be merged with the file you intend to upload.

You can also set WFA to update the TM corresponding to the file you upload (check Update or create a TM with a bilingual document). Check Merge an existing TM and choose which TM to update from the list displayed. You will also need to determine whether, in the case of identical source segments, new TUs should be added to existing ones (Keep existing TUs) or whether they should replace them (Overwrite existing TUs). If, on the other hand, you prefer to create a new TM, click on Create a new TM. At this point, you will have the opportunity to give this new TM a name, if you have more than one TM for the same language pair. Then click Upload to upload the file or Close to exit without doing anything.

Note that operations performed on the document are independent from memory-related operations, allowing you to update only the document, or only the memory, or both.
If you have clicked Upload, you will receive the following message:

[[File:Mergetxml2.png]]

Click Browse to navigate through your directories and select your file, then click Submit to perform the upload or Cancel to cancel the operation. After the merge operation has been successfully performed, a report will appear showing how many segments were merged.

[[File:Mergetxml3.png]]

=== Other downloads ===
You can also download the working file as an MS-Word (*. doc) file containing bilingual segments, usable by Wordfast Classic (and Trados Workbench).

[[File:Bilingualwordfastclassic.png]]

This will allow your document to be proofread by a Wordfast Classic user. Caution, this download is only available for files formatted as .doc and .rtf. Unlike the TXML file, this format cannot be imported into WFA.

To download your working file in bilingual MS-Word format, go to '''''File''''' tab and click on the '''''Download''''' button and choose '''Bilingual Doc original''' option. This option is only available if your source file is a MS Word file.

[[File:DownloadTypesList.png]]

If your translation is incomplete or contains provisional segments or notes, you will receive this warning:

[[File:DownloadConfirmation.png]]

At this point you have the choice to accept (OK) or cancel (Cancel) to return to your translation. If you accept, you will need to respond to the following message:

[[File:Bilingualwordfastclassic2.png]]

Following the same steps you can download this other files:

* Your working file as an MS-Word (*. doc) file containing bilingual segments without placeholders Bilingual. To do this, go to [[File:Save16.png]] '''''Download''''' button on '''''File''''' tab and choose '''''Bilingual DOC no placeholders''''' option.
* Your working file as an MS-Word (*. doc) file containing bilingual segments with placeholders Bilingual. To do this, go to [[File:Save16.png]] '''''Download''''' button on '''''File''''' tab and choose '''''Bilingual DOC with placeholders''''' option.
* Your working file as an MS-Word (*. doc) file containing bilingual segments with tag-content as placeholder. To do this, go to [[File:Save16.png]] '''''Download''''' button on '''''File''''' tab and choose '''''Bilingual DOC tag content''''' option.
* Your translated file, in plain text format, without any formatting. To do this, go to [[File:Save16.png]] '''''Download''''' button on '''''File''''' tab and choose '''''Unformatted Text''''' option.

=== Find & Replace ===
It is often necessary to locate a word or text string in a file that has been translated. For this we use the Doc Find and Replace  function. Go to '''''Edit''''' tab and click on the [[File:FindReplace.png]] '''''Find & Replace''''' button.

As with other functions that require the current segment to be closed, you will receive a warning that the current segment will be closed without being saved. If you agree, click OK, otherwise click Cancel to cancel the transaction and save your work. 

[[File:Warning.png]] By default search is only done on '''Target''' segments. Use the [[File:CollapseBottom.gif]] button to show '''advanced''' search options and the result from the search.

[[File:SR1.png]]

'''''Find & Replace''''' dialog has 4 tabs performing different actions.

* Use '''Find''' tab to locate a word or text in your document.
* Use '''Find/Replace''' tab to locate and replace a word or text in your document.
* Use '''Go to Segment''' tab to search for single segments (1,5,68,499) or a range of segments (25-66).
* Use '''Miscellaneous''' tab to perform different types of searches such as look for '''provisional''' or '''untranslated''' segments, or segments with '''notes''' or '''tag differences'''.

[[File:Notice.png]] You can use the [[File:CollapseBottom.gif]] button to show '''advanced''' search options and the result from the search.

[[File:Warning.png]] Not all the options are always available.
==== Find ====
Use '''Find''' tab.
Type the word or text you want to find and click '''Find''' button to start a search. When search is done hits are highlighted and the number of hits is shown on the dialog.

[[File:SR6.png]]

[[File:Warning.png]] By default search is only done on '''Target''' segments. Use the [[File:CollapseBottom.gif]] button to show '''advanced''' search options and the result from the search.

[[File:SR7.png]]

==== Replace ====
Use '''Find/Replace''' tab. Type the word/text you want to find and the word/text you want it replaced for  and click '''Find''' button to start a search. When search is done hits are highlighted and the number of hits is shown on the dialog.

[[File:SR8.png]]

It may happen that '''Replace''', '''Replace/Find''' and '''Replace All''' buttons are not available. This happens because the first search does not move you to the first hit, you have to click again '''Find''' to move to the next hit and then replace buttons will be available. Use them to replace, replace and move to next hit or replace all hits.

Replace can only be done on '''Target''' segments. Use the [[File:CollapseBottom.gif]] button to show '''advanced''' search options and the result from the search.

==== Go to Segment ====
Use '''Go to Segment''' tab. Use it to find specific segments. This can be an alternative to '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Outline|Outline]]'''.
You can type single segments separated by commas (1,5,68,499) or a range of segments (25-66).

[[File:SR4.png]]

Use the [[File:CollapseBottom.gif]] button to show '''advanced''' search options and the result from the search.

==== Miscellaneous ====
Use '''Miscellaneous''' tab. This 6 types of search do not require to type a word/text but will help you locate segments with some particularities. This can be an alternative to '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Outline|Outline]]'''.

[[File:SR5a.png]]

You can search for: 

* '''Provisional''' segments.
* '''Untranslated''' segments.
* Segments with '''Tag difference'''.
* Segments with '''Notes'''.
* Segments with '''Double spaces'''.
* Segments with '''Revisions'''.

Use the [[File:CollapseBottom.gif]] button to show '''advanced''' search options and the result from the search.

==== Advanced search options ====

Using the [[File:CollapseBottom.gif]] button you can access some advanced search options:

[[File:SR2.png]]

* Search for '''Whole Word'''.
* Do a '''Case sensitive''' search.
* Search for words that start/end by the characters using * as a joker.  For example searching for *able will find: movable, payable, breakable,...etc. And searching for hand* will find: handbag, handmade, handbook,...etc
* Search on Source, Target or both. This can only be used in '''Find''' tab.
* Mark each found target as provisional.
* Create a note for each replaced segment.
* Update the TM for each replaced segment. 
* Do a wrap search
* Change search direction: Backward or Forward.

=== Analyze ===
Before providing a translation quotation, you may wish to analyze the source text to determine the extent of the work required. WFA provides an analytical tool for this purpose. To do this, go to '''''File''''' tab and click on the '''''Analyze''''' button and choose '''Analyze'''. If your file is big and you do not want to wait, choose '''Analyze in Background'''.

A progress message is displayed on the status bar. Then the analysis results will be displayed:
 
[[File:Analysis.png]]

According to the number of repetitions (identical segments that appear more than once in the document) or the percentage of segments that correspond either completely (100%) or partially (<100%) to matches in the TM, you will be able to precisely estimate the volume of work actually requiring to be translated. After having examined the analysis report, click Close.

=== Statistics ===
WFA allows you to see what progress you have made with your translation at any time. To do this, go to '''''File''''' tab and click on the [[File:Statistics16.png]] '''''Statistics''''' button.

A statistical report on your translation will be displayed:

[[File:Statistics.png]]

You will see the number of source and target segments (with the percentage already translated in brackets); the number of source and current target words; the number of source and target tags and if there is any segmental discrepancy in terms of differences between the number and content of the source and target tags (segments with tag difference); the number of segments not stored in the TM (segments flagged not saved in TM); the number of provisional segments (provisional segments) and notes (segments with notes). The report also displays which segments remain to be translated. After viewing the statistics, click Close.

Another important indicator is always present on the status bar: it tells you on which segment you currently are in relation to the total number of segments in the document. In this example, the document has 149 segments in total and you are currently on the 68:

[[File:Foot1.png]]

=== Alignment ===
[[File:Warning.png]] This tool is not managed by WFA in case there is any problem use the '''Help''' in the tool, the third tab, to report your problem. You can also sent an email to '''converterhelp@wordfast.com'''

When you begin to translate with a CAT tool you may not be able to derive the maximum benefit from it if you do not yet have a translation memory. Or, a client may have source and target documents from a previous translation but cannot supply you with a TM. In this case, you can quickly derive a TM by performing an "alignment" on the documents you have already translated prior to using WFA for your translation work by using the alignment tool.

To do this, go to '''''File''''' tab and click on the [[File:WF Update16.png]] '''''Align''''' button.

A new page will open, displaying the following dialog:

[[File:Align.png]]

Follow the instructions to upload the files and align them to get the TM from the alignment.

Check [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVXTQ5Wb_Eg&feature=em-uploademail this video] about how to use this tool.

You can then upload this TM to be used in WFA.

[[File:Warning.png]] This tool is not managed by WFA in case there is any problem use the '''Help''' in the tool, the third tab, to report your problem. You can also sent an email to '''converterhelp@wordfast.com'''

=== Pretranslation ===
[[File:Warning.png]] This option is only available when the document is closed.

Go to [[File:Translate All NO Editor16.png]] '''''Pre-translation''''' button on '''''File''''' tab to open the dialog:

[[File:Pretrans1.png]]

Configure how you want the pre-translation to run:
* Activate '''Fuzzy matches'''
* Set what to do when there is no match from the TM. For setting a MT check '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Machine_translation|this]]''' 
* Leverage segment scores. Make sure the owner of the document (translation agency or company) has agreed to leverage empty segments.

If your file is big and has many segments run pre-translation in background by clicking on '''Pre Translate in background''' so you can keep working in other things. Otherwise use '''Pre-translate''' button run pre-translation.
Ad the end of the process you'll get a report with the result.

[[File:Pretrans2.png]]

=== Offline Review Tool ===
Use Offline review tool to review a file outside Wordfast Anywhere using a bilingual file and then update the changes.

To get the bilingual file go to [[File:Save16.png]] '''''Download''''' button on '''''File''''' tab and choose '''''Offline review DOC'''''.

[[File:Ofrt11a.png]]

This will download a bilingual file like this.

[[File:ofrt2.png]]

[[File:Notice.png]] Read the disclaimer on the download window and the instructions at the top of the file.

After editing '''only''' the target segments an saving the file you can import it to be merged with the file in Wordfast Anywhere.  To do this go to '''''File''''' tab and click on the [[File:mergetms16_menu.png]] '''''Import OFRT''''' button.

[[File:ofrt3.png]]

A report will be shown with the result of the merge.

[[File:ofrt4.png]]

=== Extract Frequents ===
Use [[File:Translate All NO Editor16.png]] '''''Extract Frequents''''' button on '''''File''''' tab to create anew file that will contain only the repeated segments of the document.

A first report is created showing the percentage of segments that have an occurrence greater than 2.

[[File:ExtractFrequents1.png]]

Set the '''minumum occurrence''' that you want to extract and click on '''Extract and Open''' to create a new file with the occurrence segments.

=== Go to WFP4 ===
[[File:Warning.png]] This option is only available when the document is closed.
You can open your document in '''Wordfast Pro 4 Online''' by using [[File:About wordfast16.png]] '''''WFP4''''' button on '''''File''''' tab.

WFP4o will use several settings on WFA along with the TMs and glossaries, so all settings must be done on inside WFA before. Also bear in mind to save your work on WFP4o before switching back to WFA.

[[File:Wf4disclaimer.png]]

Read carefully the disclaimer dialog before clikcing in '''Continue to WFP4o'''.

=== File information ===
[[File:Warning.png]] This option is only available when the document is closed.

Go to [[File:Modify Project16.png]] '''''File Info''''' button on '''''File''''' tab to open the dialog with information about the file:

[[File:Fileinfo.png]]

=== Split file ===
[[File:Warning.png]] This option is only available when the document is closed.

You can split a file in 4 parts by using [[File:Split.png]] '''''Split''''' button on '''''File''''' tab. 

[[File:Split1.png]]

For each part a txml file will be created with the corresponding part of the file. The name of the txml files will contain information about which part is. For instance '''_[1of2]''' means the file was splitted into 2 parts and that this file correspond to the first part.

By default files are splited in equally parts, but you can change this and set the boundaries that better suit you.

[[File:Split3.png]]

Downloading one of the splited parts will download a TXML file, but you can choose to download also the entire file in the original format.

[[File:Split2.png]]

Use 
[[File:Join.png]] '''''Join''''' button on '''''File''''' tab to put the parts together again.

=== Share file ===
[[File:Warning.png]] This option is only available when the document is closed.

You can share your document with an other Wordfast Anywhere user. To do so go to [[File:Share.png]] '''''Share''''' on '''''File''''' tab.

[[File:Share_main.png]]


To start sharing click on '''''add''''' button to add a new guest.

[[File:Share_addGuest.png]]

For each guest two properties can be chosen:
* '''''Share as read-only'''''. This means guest will only access the document in a read-only mode, but no edition will be allowed.
* '''''Keep online (not downloadable)'''''. This means guest will access the file but would not be allowed to download it.


Once guests are added, they are presented on a list on the main dialogue. Any guest will be allowed edit rights unless '''''Share as read-only''''' is check. Owner will always have edit rights. 
 
[[File:Share_mainList.png]]


Repeat this process to add more guests.

You can use '''''Edit''''' button to change the share properties for a guest.

Check '''''Use Revision/editing phase''''' to force the use of revisions in the document.


As owner and several guests can have edit rights a reservation system is used to ensure only one user can edit a segment at a time. One a user opens the document the free segments loaded in Document Panel will automatically reserved for him adding a green share icon to the end of the segment. Segments reserved by other users are shown with the same share icon but in red colour.

[[File:Share_reserved.png]]

When a user opens a shared document that is being used by an other user a pop-up message is show to warn about that.

[[File:Share_message.png]]

Also a notification is send to the other working users that a new user has opened the document.

[[File:Share_notification.png]]

Jumping to the next block will release the previous segments and will reserve the new segments being loaded.

[[File:Warning.png]] There is no live update of the segments reserved by other users. Which means segments need to be refreshed manually on Document Panel by loading them again, for instance by jumping to a different block and back.

To help to know when a user closes the document and releases his segments, a notification is send to the other working users.

[[File:Share_notificationEnd.png]]


To finish a share with a guest owner users need to use '''''Revoke''''', and to remove all the shares use '''''Revoke all'''''. This is a button on the Share dialog ([[File:Share.png]] '''''Share''''' on '''''File''''' tab).

Guest users will not see the share dialogue. They should use [[File:Revoke.png]] '''''Revoke''''' on '''''File''''' tab to finish the share.

=== Offline Mode ===
On those situations when there is an internet connection cut or when WFA server is unavailable, WFA will turn on '''Offline Mode'''.

'''Offline Mode''' lets you work offline. It allows you to translate the segments that are currently loaded on the ''Document Panel''.

The translated segments are stored locally and automatically committed to WFA server as soon as the connection is recovered. 

If the TM you are using is writeable, TUs will be automatically updated from the document.

[[File:Warning.png]] Be aware that there will be some messages telling you about going in/out of Offline Mode and segments being saved. Some features will not be available during Offline Mode.

[[File:Warning.png]] This feature has nothing to do with Offline Review Tool (OFRT). For information about OFRT, check the index at the top of this Manual.

== WFA Setup ==
The WFA Setup menu is accessible by the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+W or the [[File:Setup.png]] '''''Setup''''' button on '''''Wordfast Anywhere''''' tab.
 
Six tabs are visible: General, TM rules, Shortcuts, Segmentation, Pandora's box and QA. 

=== General tab ===
Several general settings can be don in this tab.

[[File:wfasetup1.png]]

==== Machine translation ====
Click on '''Setup Machine Translation''' to access the ''Machine Translation'' settings.

[[File:wfasetup2.png]]

WFA gives you the ability to translate each segment by online translation services like Google Translate and Microsoft Translator. The translations proposed are not ever likely to be fully acceptable. However, by making a few small adjustments, you will be able to use them extensively in your translations. 

[[File:Warning.png]] When using this service, the source segments that will return a translation are transmitted to Google and Microsoft. It is up to you whether or not to accept these translations; these companies are not made aware of your choice. However, be aware that sending the segments to Google and Microsoft may raise privacy issues between you and your customers.

Each provider has a tab were to set it's settings. Bear in mind that some MT may requiere a personal ID or password. Click on '''Details''' for extra information.

You can also change the ''Engine timeout'' as in some cases (i.e. small segments) the MT requires more time to get back with a result.

Finally, choose which is your ''primary'' MT, if tags should be removed when sending the segment to the MT and if you want to use all the available providers when doing a ''force MT''

===== Custom Machine translation =====

[[File:Warning.png]] '''Note:''' this section is '''DIY (Do It Yourself)'''. Our hotline cannot assist in the customization of an MT engine, because that requires knowledge of the remote provider's specifications. However, public discussion groups may offer help.

If your remote Machine Translation provider is not listed (as a provider tab), you can use '''Custom tab''' to create a custom connector for it. This is only possible if your MT provider's API is using a REST standard, and returns results in a JSON, or similar, format. That is the case with major MT providers currently available with WFC (Google, Microsoft, WorldLingo, deepL, MyMemory, etc.).

In WFA's Machine Translation setup, go to the "Custom MT" tab.

[[File:CustomMT.JPG]]

Note the various elements:
* URL: Tells WFA which is the url of the MT provider with the needed parameters.
** {ss} will be replaced with the source segment to be translated. This parameter must be present.
** {sl} and {tl} will be replaced with your given source and target language codes.
** {key} will be replaced with the given API key
* API Key: Some MT providers need a personal key, this is the place to add it.
* Source language: Source language of the text, it corresponds to the {sl} parameter in the URL.
* Target Language: Target language which will be the text translated to, it corresponds to the {tl} parameter in the URL.
* Json key: Some MT providers return the translated text in a parameter (translation, translatedTex...etc), this tells WFA how to spot the returned translated segment.

Once all the elements are set you can test the connection by using the '''Test''' button. Optionally you can change the text to be tested on the text box next to the button.
 
Let's assume your preferred MT provider is WorldLingo and we create a custom engine for it. You explore WorldLingo's API documentation. It essentially boils down to a query URL, with parameters. On Custom tab you can use:

* URL: https://www.worldlingo.com/S000.1/api?wl_data={ss}&wl_srclang={sl}&wl_trglang={tl}&wl_password=secret
* API Key: Empty, as no API Key is needed.
* Source language: en.
* Target Language: fr.
* Json key: Empty.

'''Practical example:'''

Opening a browser, you begin by testing the URL. In the following example, the raw URL was customized for an English-to-French language pair, to translate "Hello World". Your real URL will look different, the following is an example based on WorldLingo:

::: ''http://www.worldlingo.com/S000.1/api?wl_data=Hello%20world&wl_srclang=en&wl_trglang=fr&wl_password=secret''

You can try pasting the above URL into a browser's address bar. If things go well, the site will send a reply:

::: ''Bonjour le monde'' 

Other MT providers may use a more complex JSON reply, in which case you specify the JSON key so that WFA can identify the result. Here the key is "translation" so you would use Json key => translation

::: ''{"responseData":{"translation":"Bonjour le monde","match":1} }'' 

Your MT provider may require more parameters, such as a secret ID key (aka an API key), or other elements, in which case, you should hard-code those in the URL.

==== Fonts ====
Font Size: this setting only affects the font size on the screen, your document will keep all its original layout unchanged. The available sizes are selected from the drop-down list. 

Font Family: this setting only affects the fonts displayed on the screen, your document will keep its entire original layout unchanged. You can specify a specific font or a font family, for example Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif (sans serif font, default) or Times New Roman, Times, Serif (seriffed font).

==== Target segment selection ====
Positions the mouse pointer at the opening of the segment, with or without selection.

# Cursor at start  – no text selected, cursor positioned at the beginning of the segment.
# Cursor at end  – no text selected, cursor positioned at the end of the segment. This is the default setting.
# Segment selected  – The target segment is entirely selected.

==== Fuzzy Threshold in % ====
Percentage of similarity required for a TU contained in the TM to be suggested as a translation of the source segment. If several TUs meet this criterion, the TU with the highest percentage will be offered. In this case you can select the subsequent TUs with [[File:CopyTU.png]] '''''Copy TU''''' button on '''''TMs & Glossaries''''' tab or using the corresponding shortcut (Alt + Right). 

The default percentage (75%) is recommended for most translations, but in some cases it may be appropriate to change it. For example, if you are translating short segments containing only 3 words, a fuzzy threshold of 75% will only offer those TUs which are identical (100%) and those where two words are identical, i.e. 66%, will never be proposed.

==== Record Revisions ====
Check this option if you want to save a record of the changes on translated segments.

==== Enable Auto-Suggest ====
Check this option if you want to get suggestions while you type on a translated segment. 

Auto-Suggest can be configured in '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#.238_Configure_Auto-Suggest|Pandora's box #8]]''' to add or remove items.

==== Tab behavior ====
Check this option if you want to use click or hover for triggering events on Top Menu bar.

==== Enable auto-hide buttons ====
Check this option to make toop toolbar buttons hide automatically.

==== Enable Segment Tool Bar ====
Check this option to enable the Segment Tool Bar on Horizontal and Vertical views. You can customize it on Pandora's Box #17

=== TM rules tab ===
 
Here you have the opportunity to establish penalties to be taken into account when calculating the similarity between the TM and the segment to be translated. In other words, the percentage of similarity is reduced, where applicable, according to the figure indicated for each of the following rules. Some rules allow fractional reductions, but this only applies to the calculation: the final reduction will be the sum of all penalties rounded to the nearest whole number. If the percentage of similarity to the TU, reduced to the sum of the penalties, is less than the specified Fuzzy Threshold percentage, it will not be proposed.

[[File:wfasetup3.png]]

Penalties for the following rules are activated only if the box on their right is checked. They apply only to the TUs proposed by the TM or VLTM, not from machine translation, which has its own non-modifiable penalty.

* ''Case penalty'': if there is a difference in case (upper and lower case) between the TU and the segment to be translated, WFA can ignore this and show 100% similarity. But you can assign a penalty of between 1 and 5 points for the difference in case. This rule is selected by default with a penalty of 1.

* ''Non literal penalty'': this penalty detects differences due to special characters such as dashes, quotation marks, apostrophes, punctuation and whitespace characters (non-breaking space, horizontal and vertical tabs, ...). There exist several codes for representing each of these special characters. WFA can ignore these and show 100% similarity; otherwise a penalty is calculated using the following method: every time a difference is encountered, it adds the value of the first parameter (0.25, 0.50 or 0.75), which by default is 0.50. The second parameter sets out what the minimum value of the penalty is (default is 1). Since the penalty is necessarily an integer, if the value of the penalty is 0.25 and there is only one in the segment to be translated, the minimum is not reached. Finally, the third parameter sets the maximum penalty to be assigned, even if the addition of all the differences of this rule exceeds that figure (10 by default). This rule is selected by default with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10.

* ''Tag penalty'': this rule works exactly the same way as the previous one, but applied to the tags (markers that represent the bits of code used to format the document <span style="color: red;"><1></span>). This rule is selected by default with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 10.

* ''Alignment user penalty'': the TUs found in a memory imported into WFA produced by an alignment tool and having the identifier "TALIGN!" may be assigned a penalty from 1 to 10. This rule is selected by default with a penalty of 3. Please note, TUs from an alignment may not have the "TALIGN!" identifier.

* ''MT user penalty'': the TUs found in a memory imported into WFA produced by machine translation and having the identifier "MT!" may be penalised from 1 to 10. This rule is selected by default with a penalty of 25. Please note, TUs from a machine translation may not have the "MT!" identifier.

* ''Multiple translation penalty'': In the case of a source segment with multiple 100% matches, i.e. several TUs having the same source segment but different translated segments, a penalty may be applied to warn of a possible choice between translations. This scenario is rare and no penalty is assigned by default.

* ''Attribute penalty'': attributes are identifiers that are associated with a particular TU at the time that it is recorded in the memory. There are five possible attributes: the first is fixed (it identifies the user who posted the TU), while the other four can be user defined. In general, translators use attribute no. 1 to define the subject of the text to be translated and the attribute no. 2 to define the client who owns the text. The other two attributes are free to be used for anything else. For example, if the proposed TU is from a text whose subject is "electronics", it will be penalised if the subject of the text to be translated is "medicine." In other words if the TU is 100% identical to the segment to be translated, it will be displayed with a percentage similarity of 98% if the penalty applied is 2 points.

The penalty can be a number from 1 to 5, valid for the four attributes. By default this rule is not active.

If you use a TM uploaded from Wordfast Classic or Pro, the existing attributes of the TU may be penalised.

=== Shortcuts tab ===

You can set the shortcuts you want to use.

[[File:wfasetup4.png]]

WFA shortcuts are not immutable. If some of them do not suit you, you can reassign them. To do this, click on the '''''upd''''' link of the shortcut you wish to change.
 
[[File:wfasetup5.png]]

In this example, corresponding to the first shortcut, you see the name of the command and a drop-down list. Choose '''None''' if you want to remove the shortcut or choose another from the list. Then click '''''Update''''' to confirm or '''''Cancel''''' to dismiss the dialog. Repeat for all the shortcuts that you want to change. The new keyboard shortcuts will be displayed.

The last four commands have no shortcuts; however, you can assign shortcuts to them if you wish.

If after modifying several shortcuts you want to return them to their original state, click '''''Restore default shortcuts'''''.

Finally, click '''''Save''''' settings to confirm any changes or '''''Cancel''''' to dismiss the dialog.

=== Segmentation tab ===
This tab defines the rules for segmentation.

[[File:wfasetup6.png]]

* ''Segmentation style'': this block determines how the segmentation will be performed. If you choose ''Wordfast /Trados segmentation'' (default) the standard end-of-segment markers are defined as follows: full stop, colon, question mark, exclamation mark and tab (Tab). You can add other characters as well as space (Space), non-breaking space (NBSP), carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF). You can add as markers: a number followed by an end of segment marker (A number Followed by ESM year ends a segment  – default), an end of segment marker not followed by a space (An ESM without a trailing space ends a segment) and an end of segment marker followed by a space followed by a lowercase letter (An ESM followed by a space followed by a lower-case letter ends a segment). Although you can change these markers, it is recommended to maintain them in such manner that if you share your translations and your memories with other translators, all will follow the same rule. 

[[File:Warning.png]] Segmentation is performed at the time of uploading the document to WFA. You cannot therefore change the rules applying to that document during the course of its translation.

The other segmentation rules that you can choose are: 
* ''Break segmentation'': segmentation is done according to the end of paragraph character (carriage return) or the <br> tag for HTML files.
* ''Idiom segmentation'': segmentation follows the rules of the software program Idiom.
* ''SRX segmentation'': the segmentation is done by using a previously uploaded file. It follows the rules of the SRX standard, which has become a standard like TMX for formatting memories and TBX for formatting glossaries. In the case of SRX segmentation, abbreviations are also included.

* ''TM compatibility'': You must ensure the compatibility according to the memory you have uploaded or the subsequent use of your documents. By default, WFA's memory is compatible with that of Wordfast Classic and Pro (Assume Wordfast TM). If this is your choice, you can also specify if you have old projects made with Wordfast Classic or Pro (check Legacy TM created by old projects). You can also establish that the memory was created by Trados (Assume Trados TM), even adding that it was created by Trados and Word (TM created by Trados + Word); by Idiom (Assume Idiom TM) or by SDLX (Assume SDLX TM). 

*''Abbreviations'': Abbreviations end with a full stop, which WFA then interprets as an end of segment marker. To avoid this, WFA allows you to create and manage a list of abbreviations. While WFA already has lists for some languages, others are empty – the user must provide the necessary information. The abbreviations are entered into the text box, one after another, without spaces and separated by a comma. Once updated, save your list by clicking on Save the language. Repeat for each language that you translate.

=== Pandora's box tab ===
This tab has many different settings. Some of this settings will open a new dialog.

[[File:wfasetup7.png]]

==== #1 PC, tablet and smartphone modes ====
Use this mode if you are using a mobile device. The segment toolbar is enlarged; local file access is disabled.

==== #2 Real time collaboration ====
Real time collaboration disables data caching. This forces the TM search before you open a segment, causing a response delay. Avoid using this mode unless sharing a TM and if the TU updates need to be shared immediately.

==== #3 Document file name convention ====
Customize your document name for download by adding a prefix and/or a suffix.

==== #4 Special scoring rules between a translator and a proofreader ====
Set rules on the segment score for proofreading between a translator and a proofreader.

==== #5 Configure insertion ====
Configure 3 special characters to insert with the segment toolbar.

==== #6 Configure online dictionaries ====
Configure URLs for 2 online search engines.

==== #7 Multiple Ctrl+Alt+Down toggles placeable ====
Use this feature to toggle between copy the target term, copy the source term, or leave blank.

==== #8 Configure Auto-Suggest ====
Add/Remove Auto-Suggest items.

==== #9 Configure Filters ====
Configure conversion of documents from their original format to the internal editor format.

For some files you can configure some parameters that will tell the filter what to do for some situations such as translate comments or sheet names. 

You can make this configuration for: '''xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, doc, docx, rtf, htm, html, mif, idml'''.

[[File:Pandora9.JPG]]

On this section there are also 3 settings that will apply to any file.

* '''Editor format'''. To choose which type of '''bilingual file (TXML or TXLF)''' the filter should produce.
	
* '''Extract numbers'''. To define the filter action on source segments that contain only numbers.

** ''all'': Extracts all segments with only numbers for translation
** ''time_date_measure'': Extracts only segments with time and date
** ''none'': Does not extract any segments that contain only numbers
	
* '''Segmentation on break'''. To enable segmentation on line breaks.

==== #10 Configure double click to open/close a segment ====
Configure opening/closing actions on a segment by double clicking in the document panel. This is always active for mobile plain text mode.

[[File:Pandora101.png]]

==== #11 Configure Search ====
Set the timeout for searches. After the timeout, the search is cancelled and returns nothing. The default value is 4 seconds.

==== #12 Copy source when no TM match and no MT proposition ====
Copy source to target when no TM match and no MT proposition.

==== #13 Do not copy MT proposition to target ====
Do not copy MT proposition to target.

==== #14 Do not show empty paragraph line in Classic view ====
Do not copy MT proposition to target.

==== #15 Hide segment's IDs column on the Table view ====
Do not copy MT proposition to target.

==== #16 Custom Tab settings ====
Use this mode if you are using a mobile device. The segment toolbar is enlarged; local file access is disabled.

=== QA tab ===
Set here the criteria that will be used to conduct an audit of quality when doing a '''[[Wordfast_Anywhere_Manual#Transcheck|Transcheck]]'''

[[File:wfasetup8.png]]

There are several criteria that can be check, some of which can also be checked while translating. Here is a short description:

* '''Source & target lengths''': Compares the character count between the source and target segments. You can set the minimum and maximum % of allowed character count for the target segment.

* '''Empty target''': Checks for an empty target segment. This is always checked while translating.

* '''Numerical''': Checks that the numerical values between the source and target segments are correct.

* '''Placeable''': Checks if the tags are copied correctly to the target segments. This is always checked while translating.

* '''Forbidden chars''': Checks if the target segment includes forbidden characters. You can set the list of forbidden characters that should not be included in the target segment.

* '''Punctuations''': Checks for consistency in punctuation between source and target segments. You can set the punctuation marks that should not be included in the target segment. [[File:notice.png]] The transcheck punctuation only works on end of segmentation punctuation.

* '''Untranslatable''': Compares the source and target segments to check if the untranslatable content is consistent. You can set the untranslatable text that must be retained in the target segment.

* '''Copied source''': Checks for untranslated text when copied source option is used.

* '''Blacklists''': Checks if the target segment includes blacklisted terms. You can set blacklisted terms that should not be included in the target segment. [[File:notice.png]] The blacklisted term list must be a tab delimited file (bad term + tabulation + proposed term).

* '''Terminology''': Checks if all term translations from an active glossary are used in the target of a segment. You can enable or disable Ignore Case option.

* '''First word capitalization''': Checks if the first letter of the segment is capitalized.

* '''Edited exact match''': Checks if any exact match segments from the TM have been edited.

* '''Unedited fuzzy''': Checks if any fuzzy match segments from the TM have been left unedited.

* '''Source Consistency''': Checks consistency between source segments if the target is repeated.

* '''Target consistency''': Checks consistency between target segments if the source is repeated.
