Dear Colleagues,
The Wordfast Pro Split/Merge option is useful for splitting a TXML file among multiple translators, and then merging the file back together again after translation. It is useful also if you have a very large TXML file that you need to split into smaller parts to avoid slowdown of some machines.

| Having trouble with Split | May 24, 2014 |
Hi! I have a problem with splitting files and I would really appreciate your help. I have a file of 2359 translation units. I am interested in the units from 0 to 906 becoming one file, and the rest becoming a different file. I set the function to split after 906 units. I end up with two files: the first contains the first 1400 units, and the other one the rest. Neither the first nor the second part contains 906 units. I tried to play with other numbers. For example. When I ask to split after 40... See more Hi! I have a problem with splitting files and I would really appreciate your help. I have a file of 2359 translation units.

For example. When I ask to split after 400 units, I end up with four files of roughly 600 units. I cannot grasp the logic here. I've tried reinstalling and then rolling back to version 3.3, and it didn't help. Otherwise no problems with Wordfast. If you can help, I would really appreciate it. ▲ Collapse

Dear Pavel,
It seems a bug that increases the number of the required TUs.
I hope Wordfast developers will be able to fix it.
Kind regards,
Yasmin

Dear Pavel,
I have checked with our Wordfast Product Management, and I am summarising their response as follows:
The split is done for "blocks" instead of "segments", so when a user sets "Split after" 100 TUs, it splits the first 100 blocks with Block ID 0 to 99.
To know the block IDs, use the "TXML Context" tab in Wordfast Pro, or open the TXML file manually in a text editor. In the "TXML Context" tab, you can use Ctrl+F to find a portion of text, and the... See more Dear Pavel,

To know the block IDs, use the "TXML Context" tab in Wordfast Pro, or open the TXML file manually in a text editor. In the "TXML Context" tab, you can use Ctrl+F to find a portion of text, and then a mouseover will show a tooltip with the Block ID. Please note that Block ID starts with 0 while "Split after" starts with 1; so you need to add plus 1 to get the exact segment. Also, a block might include more than 1 segment.
This is a workaround for now. However, this needs to be changed, and currently we are checking with our developers to see how this can be fixed for future versions.
Many thanks for your invaluable feedback!
Kind regards,

I hope this helps.

This would really help when Translator want to send a daily result to the reviewer no matter finished or not.
And the reviewer can split it into halves, one finished and one unfinished.
