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.

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.

To pseudo translate files:

On Quick Tools, 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 pane.
Select the files to be pseudo translated and click Pseudo Translate.

Note:
Only one file type, either TXLF or Source can be selected at a time.

A Pseudo Translate completed message is displayed.
