Hi all,
Is there a way to import a glossary created in wordfast classic? I'm very new to cafetran and I'm also quite technically inept, so a dumbed-down version of the process, if there is one, would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
Roni

Thanks, Dominique. I like the video, it is clear and concise and helped me understand some of the basics - but my glossary import failed. It seems corrupted somehow, and I wonder if it has to do with all the asterisks I've added to the source words (Slavic language) in the Wordfast glossary. It also does not appear in Cafetran as tab-delimited, it looks like a jumbled mess all in one column with various diamond symbols throughout. *Sigh* I knew it sounded far too easy for it to work for me![]() ...

I won't be able to make the transition without my glossary (and my TMs, which I'll deal with as soon as I figure out the glossary import) so I'll have to keep searching for a workable solution.
Many thanks!

Have you opened your Wordfast glossary in Excel and saved it as XLSX? If the source and target terms show up in separate columns (as the should), you should be able to import them in CafeTran. Asterisks shouldn’t be a problem, as I seem to remember CafeTran supports a similar mechanism (using pipes).

Hello Roni,
I am not at the office today. I can provide (free) help tomorrow (Thursday) e.g. via Skype. If you don't have Skype installed, we can work via e-mail (see the contact page in my profile). I'd be glad to help you getting around with my favourite CAT tool.
Best,

A WFC glossary is a mere tab-delimited text file. Thus read this: Adding an existing Glossary (as I remember, WFC uses UTF-16LE for its glossaries, thus, you might need to convert them to UTF-8 first).

AUTEUR DU FIL | Thanks everyone | Aug 19, 2015 |
for your suggestions.
Hans, thank you for your kind offer, if I'm unable to figure it out I will probably take you up on it. It will have to be some time next week though, as my free time seems to have expired for this week. I will contact you through your profile. Again, thank you.

The Excel route I suggested (open Wordfast glossary in Excel, save as XLSX, import from XSLX in CafeTran) should take care of the encoding issues (original poster probably has no idea what "UTF-16LE" means)

Hi englishpartner,
You can also send me the file (when you have a moment) and I can have a look at it, unless Hans has already helped you out.

| Converting a Wordfast glossary to a CafeTran glossary | Aug 20, 2015 |
I started writing an article on converting a Wordfast glossary to a CafeTran glossary. I used a Czech project, but the principle of stemming should be the same for Slovak.

If the OP is using Windows, I can recommend Akelpad for problem-free conversion of WFC TMs and glossaries from UTF16LE to both types of UTF8. What kind of UTF8 does Cafetran expect... with or without byte order mark? Can't Cafetran read UTF16LE files, then?

I've just tested it: yes it can!
I'll correct the wiki article. Probably the direct loading of the file is the easiest solution then (no Excel conversion).
Line endings of Wf glossaries are Windows, right?
Thanks for your input!
