Hello!

I have a Remote Glossary hosted on Wordfast Anywhere. Is it possible to edit a remote glossary on Wordfast Pro 4? Whenever I try to do it, it tells me that "it is not possible to edit a remote glossary", but it seems as if that was possible in earlier versions.

Does anyone have a solution?

unselect "Read-only" Mar 6, 2017

Glossaries have a "Read only" checkbox; this implies that they can be edited.

The read-only box is unselected. I don't have a problem editing local glossaries. It only prevents me from editing remote glossaries.

When I try to edit a term, an error window pops up and says: "You cannot edit terms from remote glossaries".

I was wondering if there's an alternative solution to this.

Hello,
Unfortunately, you cannot edit remote glossaries via WFP4 (for now). You can log in to Wordfast Anywhere to edit your glossaries.

Kind regards,

Hi John! Thank you for your quick reply!
