CafeTran

It is time to start rolling out the Forerunner (aka Preview) version of CafeTran Espresso 2019. This update and the subsequent builds this year will make up the CTE 2019 version to be released in December/January.

The update can be performed via Drag and Drop as follows:

1. Run CafeTran.

2. Download 20190105_update.zip file from here and place it on your desktop. Do not unzip or rename the file after downloading.

Note:   On Mac OSX system, Safari web browser may unzip the file automatically after downloading it. Before you download the update file, uncheck the  following Safari option:

Safari > Preferences > General > Open "safe" files after downloading.

3. Drag and Drop the downloaded 20190105-update.zip file anywhere in CafeTran's initial screen - the Dashboard.

Alternatively, you can install 20190105_update.zip file via the "Install Update" button in the Help > About panel instead of dragging and dropping.

Important! Please complete all your translation projects in your current CafeTran version before updating.

What's new in this update:

• Autopilot. This may be a very handy feature during the Review or QA phase of translation. You can also use it when translating short, repetitive/similar phrases or numbers. It allows hands-free navigation with the set delay between the segments. The default delay of 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds) can be increased in Edit > Preferences > General tab. Activation/deactivation of the Autopilot is done via the Action menu. After that, you will notice the Autopilot button in the target segment editor. Click this button to turn on/off the Autopilot. Going to the next segment triggers off its functioning. To suspend it for a while (e.g for the correction of the current segment), press the Esc key or click the mouse on the target segment editor.
• Automatic transfer of numbers being the full segments which end with the white space character.
• Recognition of language variants in SDLTB termbases.
• Support for subtitles (.itt and .srt file formats).
• Added video resource preview for translation of subtitles.

Enjoy!

> is this version "usable" in Mavericks? Is it heavier from the current one and how much free RAM do you recommend?

It is the same as with the previous version in terms of usability and RAM.

The new build of CTE 2019 Forerunner is available for download. It features the following major changes:

• added an option to set the variable delay for Autopilot. The default setting in Edit > Preferences is 1000 millisecond per 10 characters in the current segment. You can adjust it as preferable.
• fixed a search off by one segment issue with Autopilot.
• added the menu option to turn on/off automatic searching - useful with Autopilot during the review - see it the Action menu.
• fixed an issue with the "Transpose selection to the right".

Please download and install this new build (2018091401) as described in the announcement post above. Thank you.

In Java, some font types may be displayed correctly within some size range. If you need such big fonts, try Verdana, for example. 

> Another thing...

Did you try changing the font via the View > Font menu? Is it on Mac, Linux or Windows?

> it's just off by one segment

Yes, this is confirmed and being fixed for the next build soon. Stay tuned. Thanks.
