New CafeTran Blog?

To my surprise, I stumbled upon another CafeTran blog. And a very good looking blog at that. At first, I thought Igor wrote it, but I doubt if he would write a very Dutch URL like:

I now suspect another Hans, a well-known Dutch translator who usually goes by the name Hans List.


Another blog would definitely be a good idea. I haven't been able to add any entries for weeks. That's not out of laziness, it's simply because I was busy using CT, and didn't have any issues. I almost exclusively worked on TTX files, and there's no reason to write about that format again. I admit that I also did a few TXT and HTML files, but they didn't present any problems. CT just works...

Proofreading in CafeTran (cont.)

I was aware that I could export/save the project as HTML, but that seemed to me to be pretty useless format for proofreading.

It is, until you see the light, and open the HTML file in a word processor.

Get rid of the column with the source text (and convert Table to Text, if you like), and you will end up with this:

This is a format suitable for reviewing, especially if you print it. Be sure to make changes in the Project so your translation memory is up-to-date.
