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.

=== Segmentation ===
 
=== 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).

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.

You can also move to previous segment by clicking on '''''Translation''''' tab => [[File:Previous.png]] '''''Previous''''' or use the ''Alt + Up'' shortcut.

=== 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.

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.

+
 
−
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''.
+
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.

===== 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.
