Salve a tutti, recentemente ho acquistato Office 2016 e scaricato l'ultima versione di Wordfast per il quale ho la licenza. Finora non ho avuto problemi a tradurre con i file Word. Oggi che avevo un progetto in Excel mi si è verificato il problema seguente: Apro il file Excel, poi quello Word e quando faccio clic sul pulsante sulla barra di Wordfast per avviare la traduzione in Word il file Word non riesce a leggere il testo in Excel.

Unfortunately, Wordfast Classic is only compatible with Excel up to Windows 10 /MS Office 2010. Later versions of MS Office/Excel are incompatible with WF Classic. I keep one PC with MS Office 2010 installed especially for Excel and WFC translations. If you uninstall your current version of Office and install the 2010 version, WFC should work with your Excel files again. PS. Excuse me for responding in English, but Italian isn't one of my working languages.

Dear Neilmac, Thank you so much for your response. You are confirming what I was thinking as WC does work with Word files but it doesn't with Excel ones and I guess, at this point, nor with Power Point files. In the meantime I forwarded a ticket to Wordfast support, maybe they might have a kind of plug-in to sort this out. In case they reply me providing a solution I will post it here as well, so you might take advantege from it. Thank you... See more Dear Neilmac, Thank you so much for your response.

The problem is the MS Office software, not Wordfast. I don't think there is any solution except uninstalling Office and reinstalling an earlier version. I find Office 2010 does absolutely everything I need it too. The only "improvements" in more recent versions seem to be the option of more intricate templates, which I really don't need. | |

Dear neilmac, You are perfectly right, the problem is Office 2016. I just received the following email from WF support team: "Unfortunately, Microsoft removed the link between MS Word and Excel/PowerPoint that Wordfast Classic needs in order to let you translate Excel or PowerPoint the way you mentioned. The old method works, I believe, in Word 2010, not any newer. To translate Excel or PPT documents, we recommend Wordfast Pro or Wordfast Anywhere, accessible at <...

I tried one of those "OS within and OS" solutions and it worked... but r-e-a-l-l-y slowly... Too slowly for me to work with comfortably. No worries. I'm quite happy to keep on using MS Office 2010 for as long as possible. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Wordfast Classic: Impossibile tradurre documento Excel CafeTran Espresso | You've never met a CAT tool this clever!
