Hi there,

I have one laptop (Mac), one desktop (PC) and I work with both regularly. I want to be able to continue a project I started on either one of my computers.

I already tried opening the files created by Cafetran with my second computer. The project is opened but I cannot seem to edit nor continue what I have already started.

What should I do?

Thank you in advance,
Best,
Atakan

Export to Package, then Open project Feb 3, 2020

Hello Atakan,

Assuming this is a native project and you wish to copy the files locally between the two computers, here is one method you can try:

- On computer A, with the project open, in CafeTran go to Project > Export and Exchange > To Package and select an export location. Close CafeTran.

- Copy the .ctp file (a compressed archive containing the project files) to computer B.

- On computer B, Open CafeTran, then Open project > select the ctp... See more

I have never encountered an uneditable CafeTran project, so if the issue still occurs with the above method, please provide more details.

Merci beaucoup Jean,

Yes, it is a native project.
I have now tried the method you advised but the issue persists.
I see the project but I can't edit anything.
In the previous versions of Cafetran, I remember there used to be a 'Start' button but I don't see it anymore. So I am a little bit lost now.

I am on the latest update in both computers (10.7.1 Doughnut), I don't know what else I could provide unless you guide me.

Thanks again,
Atakan

Ah, I see…

In a recent update (CafeTran Espresso 10.6.3 Brownie - https://cafetran.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/6000059928) the Start button was removed for native projects. Now, CafeTran begins the translation right after the creation of the new project.

Do you use the latest version on both computers? I recommend it.
