Wordfast Pro 5’s Transcheck feature verifies elements in your translation and warns about potential errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, numbers, terminology consistency, and placeables as you type. The warning sign is displayed in the Status column for segments with errors. There are two ways to run Transcheck:
Contents
File-based Transcheck in the TXLF Editor (single file)
You can run Transcheck on the file you are currently translating. Click on the Review tab, then the Transcheck All icon. Transcheck will run with default settings.
When you run Transcheck, a summary report and an HTML Transcheck report are generated, and the latter opens in a browser window. In the TXLF Editor, you will also see an exclamation mark icon in the “Status” column if the segment has a Transcheck warning.
You can scroll through the HTML report, identify errors and switch back to Wordfast Pro 5 to correct them, using the Ctl+G (Cmd+G) shortcut key to go directly to the segment that needs fixing.
You can also click on the Transcheck tab in the lower section of the “TXLF Editor”, navigate through warnings, and correct or ignore them as necessary.
Finally, you can use a Filter to only display segments with Transcheck warnings.
You can modify the default Transcheck settings at two levels:
- In the "Project List" view (Wordfast 5 > Project List, then Preferences)
- In the “Current Project” or “TXLF Editor” view (Wordfast 5 > Current Project or TXLF Editor, then click on Preferences tab)
If you modify the Transcheck preferences while in the Project List view, you will be modifying your default Transcheck preferences for all future projects. You should therefore set the Transcheck default preferences to the most frequently used settings by all projects.
If you modify the Transcheck preferences while in the “Current Project” or “TXLF Editor” view, you will be modifying your Transcheck preferences for this particular project only.
Batch Transcheck in the Current Project View (multiple files)
Running Transcheck at the Current Project level allows you to run a report on multiple files at the same time. Moreover, it includes an additional check for source and target consistency across files and allows you to designate the location of the HTML Transcheck report.
Version: Wordfast Pro 5.7 Operating System: macOS
