Hi,
I started out using Cafetran creating too many glossaries.
So my question: is there a simple way to merge several glossaries into one?
Thanks for your answer,
Irene

Hello,
You can copy your glossaries to a folder, and then, in CafeTran, use Glossary > Glossaries folder (enable), then Glossary > Add glossary and select the folder.
After that, it is just a matter of saving the glossary. You can add it to the Dashboard for easy reuse in the future.
As a matter of precaution, I suggest you just check that all use the same source and target languages/language variants.

Thank you, Jean!
This strategy sounds very straight forward.
In order to do this, would you advice to open a "fake" (empty) project just so as not to accidentaly compromise an existing project?

Irene,
If you use an existing project, you can simply close the new glossary tab once you have saved it as intended. This way, that resource won't be loaded automatically if you reopen the project in the future.
Otherwise, you can create a dummy project (in the same language pair) or just close the Dashboard (Dashboard menu button > Close Dashboard) and proceed from there, with no project loaded. In all cases, you have to set the correct language pair in the Dashboard w... See more Irene,

| Rons CSV Editor highly recommended | Jan 12, 2019 |
If you're on Windows, I highly recommend managing glossaries in https://www.ronsplace.eu/products/ronseditor
which is basically a text editor capable of displaying delimited txt files (tabulated, csv, etc.) like in a spreadsheet, so you can see what you are doing, move columns/rows around, filter stuff, etc.

Many thanks to all of you for your help! I'll give it a try as soon as I have finished my current project and installed the latest version of Cafetran.
