Dear All,
I will be very glad, if somebody can tell my how can I create a Wordfast Pro unclean file.
I have received a Word document and my client would like to have both clean and unclean versions.
Thank you very much in advance!
With best wishes!
Ann

Hi Ann,
You cannot create an unclean file using Wordfast Pro. Wordfast Pro generates a bilingual TXML file. You can use Wordfast Classic to create the unclean file that your client requires. You can download Wordfast Classic here - http://www.wordfast.com/store_download.html . If you are a Wordfast license holder, you have access to both Wordfast Classic and Wordfast Pro.
Sincerely,
Kristyna
| | | | | The TXML file is the unclean file | Mar 16, 2009 |
Hi Ankrol,
When working with Wordfast Pro, the unclean file would be the TXML file which is automatically generated when you open a file in the translation environment (the TXML Editor Perspective). You can generate a clean version by using the Save Translated File command form the File menu or by cleaning the file in the PM perspective.
Best regards,
Mette

Thanks Mette,
I just wanted to make sure, because I read a lot of about it and I didn't find the term "unclean".
Have nice day!

Just a further comment in relation to this:
Although Kristyna maybe only think of an unclean file as a Word doc with the source text embedded as hidden text, I think the translation agency in this case is simply asking to have the TXML file delivered as well to be able to update their TM. As I read AnKrols initial post, she was specifically asked to work in Wordfast Pro - and not Wordfast Classic.

I also work for an agency which has started using Wordfast Pro, and they refer to the bilingual TXML files as "unclean" files as well.
But it is true, that if what you need is an unclean Word doc, you would have to generate that with Wordfast Classic.

No, no, I don't think so, the agency probably is asking for the uncleaned file TTX (Tageditor) or in case of a Word file a DOC with the Workbench tags for cleanup it into the TM.
The question is of the agency can use this TXML file to update his TM (Trados, in a big % of the cases).
The WF Classic variant do not help if, as me, you want to use Wordfast in a Mac.
Is TXML a format compliant with Trados TMs?

Hi Fernando!
In her initial post, Ankrol wrote that she was asked to deliver a "Wordfast Pro unclean file", so I suppose the agency might have asked her specifically to use this CAT tool and therefore simply want the kind of "unclean file" that Wordfast Pro can produce, which would be the bilingual TXML file.

If the agency knows that she is working in Wordfast Pro, I wouldn't think that what they want is a Trados file/unclean Word doc, unless they specifically ask for that. The agency itself could use Wordfast Pro and would therefore need the TXML file to update their TM. But as always, you should just clarify with the client if in doubt about what they want.

I can not deduce that the agency use also WF Pro, I think this program is still not out of the Beta (or?) and no agency would risk to use it at this moment... But maybe I'm wrong
But the question is important for all of us trying to migrate to WF Pro
in 75-99 % they will ask for a Trados uncleaned file or a TM export (with only the tranlated UTs)

OK, if Windows is not a Beta, why should another application not do the same?
Just a joke, but I wonder why some applications are not Beta and others like Gmail or Picasa, are still Betas? Big mystery.
But the question of this thread is still open. Are uncleaned files in WF Pro format compliant with other CATs? I mean, can it be send and cleaned in another CAT? Or maybe is a export function for this case?
Regards
Fernando

Hi Fernando,
Wordfast Pro generates a bilingual TXML file. This cannot be opened and cleaned directly using another CAT tool. You can always update the TM, export it as TMX, and then open the TM in another TMX compliant CAT tool, but the WFP file itself cannot be edited with another tool.
Sincerely,
Kristyna

| Saving translated file | Apr 24, 2009 |
Each time when I save the translated file, Wordfast would ask me to confirm "This file exists already, are you sure you want to overwrite it?"
It seems Wordfast expects me to save the translation only after I finish the whole job. But I'd love to save my translation at the end of each day, to see how far I've come. Can Wordfast just save the new transaltion without asking again?
