I use Wordfast Classic and am a very basic but regular user. Following Henry's urging at recent conferences I have been experimenting with Machine Translation (as a tool, requiring substantial editing).
However, if I paste a suggestion from Google Translate into the target segment box, it appears in a white field with the original grey (or green) around it; in the cleaned documents it usually, not always, appears on a faint grey background. So I am now dictating the result, using Dragon, which may help improve the translation but certainly negates any time benefits.
This does not happen with Bing Translate, though it is too soon for me to say whether this tool is worth using.
Is there anything I can do to rectify this phenomenon? Any suggestions gratefully received. ▲ Collapse

Make a macro

You're welcome.
I use this command so much in WordFast that I've created a macro for it and assigned a toolbar button and a hotkey to it!
