Changes to a document translated before acquiring Wordfast Thread poster: Emilie Fahlenkamp

I have received a revised version of a document I translated over a year ago, before I started using Wordfast, and need to translate the changes. Can I use the old source and translated documents, and somehow import them into Wordfast?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Emilie,
yes, you can use your source and target files and align them in PlusTools - is it a small macro tool created as a Wordfast accessory. Download it from the Wordfast web site, and install it into the Startup folder where the Wordfast Classic 5.5., resides. In case you don't use Wf Classic, but Wf Pro, then the full path to the said Startup folder will be something like: My Documents-User-Microsoff-Word-Startup.

yes, you can use your source and target files and align them in PlusTools - is it a small macro tool created as a Wordfast accessory. Download it from the Wordfast web site, and install it into the Startup folder where the Wordfast Classic 5.5., resides. In case you don't use Wf Classic, but Wf Pro, then the full path to the said Startup folder will be something like: My Documents-User-Microsoff-Word-Startup.
Star aligning two files and use the proposed shortcuts in order to accelerate the process. Save the final file, giving proper language identification, like for example: EN-GB : FR-FR. In case one of your languages is not a WE one, then save the TM under text Unicode. Use the TM in Wordfast as a current TM for the project.
As for accelerating the translation of the new file, instead of (pre-)translating it fully once again through Wf, you migh try to compare new and old file and extract the very new part and translate it only.
That's it, salud, Dk.

Thanks for the tip Dragomir, I will take a look at PlusTols. And Samuel, I didn't realise that it is called alignment, so thanks for the thread, it's most useful.
