CafeTran

@piotr

I think CafeTran already attempts to tackle this, although I'm sure it can be further refined.

Do you have "Automatic fragments adjustment" enabled in Preferences > Auto-assembling?

Introduced in 2017 Yeddi Update 15 (20170627), this a new and experimental feature picks fragments/terms from the current segment and updates their priority on the fly. It can also adjust to some slight changes in the fragments (e.g. plural forms) creating virtual fragment pairs if they do not exist in your resources. It also detects term’s synonym usage adjusting its priority automatically.

If you use Auto-assembling with this feature enabled, maybe some specific examples in the form of a support ticket might help the developer improve it.

@tre I agree. Cafetran could become adaptive and learn from the user. For example if it “translated” a word or phrase as some nonsense, and “saw" that the user corrected it, it could “make a note" that this is a better translation and use it in the future.

There is always room for improvement, but there are also other settings that come into play, depending on the scenario. To avoid making assumptions, Piotr, can you specify the usage scenario you have in mind? Is this a support question or an improvement request?

Another thing is to set the Matching workflow to Fuzzy instead of Fuzzy & Hits in TM options (to remove the calculation of hits from a specific TM). Yet another is to raise/tweak the thresholds found in Preferences > Memory.

Hm. The „Keep out of auto-assembling“ can be a nice tool, but I think Piotr may speak of scenarios where this is not an option (e.g. false fragments or hits from the primary TM).

And unfortunately the High, Medium or Low setting does not always help.

There is still some room for improvement.

Hello Piotr,

Specifically the glossary, I don't think so, but you can use two settings to finetune the auto-assembling suggestions in general:

- Use the context option "Keep out of auto-assembling" on any resource (TM, Glossary) that you don't wish to use for auto-assembling. So, you can keep out of auto-assembling all but your glossary, if that's what you want.

- Set the priority of each resource (TM or Glossary) to High, Medium or Low, according to the priority you want to give. Please note this affects both fuzzy matching and auto-assembling results. This is also found in the resource context options.

Is there an option to tell t he assembly function to give the glossary a precedence over what it isolates on its own from the TM?

May I also have an Xmas wish? Languagetool integrated with Cafetran. If OmegaT can do it, why not Cafetran? LT feedback on the grammar could be displayed in a separate tab for example.

@alwayslockyourbike Yes. A word document can contain more than one table. They can be identified by numbers. To test it open a word document (in Word) with many tables, press CTRL+G, in the list box on  the left select Table, and enter the table number in the box. Then click next or go to and see what happens. :-)

>it would also need to make it possible to select the table number (s),

Can you elaborate on that? Table numbers?

Could we possibly have the same neat trick for word tables? Sometimes we get bilingual tables to translate, and indeed sometimes they have a comments column. It would also need to make it possible to select the table number (s), in case there are more tables in the Word file, and not all of  them need to be translated.

Thanks!

Very useful!

Perfect, another step towards fewer clicks with many thanks from my right arm!

Hello Igor,

The filter option for notes/comments in Excel documents works as advertised, thanks!

For Resources > Open movie, on Ubuntu 18.04, the video file selection dialog stops responding after choosing a video file (small mp4 and avi files tested), requiring to force quit the program.

I haven't been able to see the video player controls yet, but for already timecoded SRT subtitles that  need translation, it would be useful to have an option to sync the subtitles and display them on the video.

The SRT filter is a welcome addition by the way!

For now, to get complete context, one can simply use a dedicated subtitling program to display the video synced with the source subtitles in a second display, and translate the SRT in CafeTran.
