TARGET term NOT SAVED in WFC glossary Автор на темата: 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 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

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.

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.`

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...

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.

Aren’t multiple selections possible in newer versions of MS Word, by pressing a
modifier key while selecting?
