Pseudo Translation

Pseudo translation copies the source content to the target where the content has accented characters and the text is expanded by twenty percent. The pseudo translation provides a preview of what content will be selected as translatable and how complex formatting appears in the target. Both source files and the TXLF files can be pseudo translated.

To pseudo translate files:

Click Quick Tools in the Wordfast 4 drop-down menu.
Click the Pseudo Translation tab.
Select the file type for pseudo translation:
- TXLF: Select and add a TXLF file
- Source: Select and add source files, select Source Language, Target Language and Pseudo translation Options
To add files, do one of the following:
- Click Add File to browse and select a file from a folder. To add multiple files, press the Ctrl key and select the files.
- Click Add Folder to browse and select a folder and add all files within.
- Drag and drop files into the Files panel.
The files appear in the Files panel.
Select the files to be pseudo translated.

Note:
Only one file type, either TXLF or Source can be selected at a time.
Click Pseudo Translate.
A confirmation message appears upon completion.

Note:
Up to 20 files can be processed at a time using Wordfast Pro in Demo mode. To pseudo translate more than 20 files, a Wordfast Pro license is required.

The pseudo translated files are placed in the selected folder location.
