Hello all,

I am exploring TM management options with Olifant. My test TM created with Wordfast 5.51 contains EN-GB (UK English) source entries and UK-01 (Ukrainian) target ones. My problem is that when I save the TM in Olifant and open again in Wordfast, all the target entries become question marks (and I haven't even done much with that TM yet, not even sorted or removed duplicates - just opened and saved).

Hello all,

I am exploring TM management options with Olifant. My test TM created with Wordfast 5.51 contains EN-GB (UK English) source entries and UK-01 (Ukrainian) target ones. My problem is that when I save the TM in Olifant and open again in Wordfast, all the target entries become question marks (and I haven't even done much with that TM yet, not even sorted or removed duplicates - just opened and saved). The TM also shrinks in size considerably. I suppose this has something to do with encoding but I am too new to Olifant to know. When I go to Edit -> TM Properties -> Common, the Encoding field appears to be UTF-16. I am not sure if this is what it should be, but the TM had been created with Wordfast and saved as Unicode.

I use Windows XP and Olifant beta 0.2 build 15.

Any help is much appreciated!

Old Version Apr 24, 2009

That version of Olifant is hopelessly outdated. I had the same version here which never worked all that great, so I did some research, found out that there is a new version and downloaded it just yesterday from the following address:

A great improvement over the beta, even though RegEx searches don't work for me. Maybe it'll solve your problem, though.

HTH,

It worked! Apr 24, 2009

Thank you so much for prompting me to update Benjamin! I knew that a newer version existed but was too pessimistic to give it a try! Thanks again - and have a very good weekend.
