Cleanup

The Project Manager is responsible for the cleaning up of translated files and selecting the TM update options. The file cleanup process requires a manual initiation.

Cleanup processes bilingual files (TXML files containing source and target). The source files are returned to their original format and the bilingual files are converted to files in the target language using the original format. (Refer to Working with Segments.)

Optionally, the TM can be updated during cleanup.

As a final step, a report is generated indicating the number of segments processed, errors encountered, and TM update results.

To clean up and update the Translation Memory using Quick Tools:

Select Quick Tools from the Wordfast 4 drop-down menu.
Click the Cleanup tab.
Click Add File.

The file Open dialog box appears.
Select a file.
Click Open.
The Cleanup tab reappears with the selected files.

Optionally, select an Update Option for updating files to a Translation Memory.

The TM Update Options pull-down list is shown to the right.

Select the Translation Memory to use.

Note:

At least one Translation Memory is needed before file clean up can be initiated (refer to Working with Project Translation Memory). To add a local or remote Translation Memory, refer to Creating Local Translation Memory for more information.

Click Clean Up.

A pop-up appears showing the percentage progress.

Upon completion, the CleanUp Report summary appears.
