Wordfast Pro was working fine until yesterday, when I wanted to amend my very large translation after proofreading the printout. I am using Wordfast 3.4 on Windows 8.1.

Now, I get error messages such as, when pressing ALT+DOWN:

"Next Segment (TM Commit)" did not complete normally. Please see the log for more information.
String index out of range: -1

OR

The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.


ALSO

When opening txml file in Wordfast:

An error has occurred when activating this view
File C:\Users\Barbara\.wf_workspace\glossaries\g_2\glossary.dat in use by another program.


Find/Replace wasn't working at all (nothing at all happened if I pressed CTRL+F or CTRL+H, but it has now just started showing the dialogue box again. However, it is still not working as nothing happens when I click Find within the dialogue box.

I have reinstalled Wordfast and Java, but this hasn't helped.

Java, really? May 5, 2014

I see nothing in your messages pointing to Java errors. Rather it looks like your translation memory is corrupt. Load it to, say, Okapi Olifant and check for errors.

Source of problem detected May 5, 2014

Thanks esperantisto. In fact, it was a corrupted glossary. I was able to close the glossaries, as I had finished the actual translation and was just doing the revisions. However, I shall need to repair the glossary. Urgent as I have a large amount of related translation work. I used to use Okapi Olifant, but seem to recall from the last time I used it that it is very out-of-date and that I couldn't get various things to work - or that the program is too obscure for the non-geek likes of me.

Is there any other glossary tweeker available for Wordfast users? ▲ Collapse

Same problem Nov 17, 2014

Hi Finch,

You've just saved my life

I started to get the same error string and, after trying many solutions, I read your message and... Bingo... It was a problem with one of the glossaries of the client.

I disabled it, and everything got back to normal.

Thanks!
