Dear all,
I received a Trados file for proofreading and my client would like to see the changes I made (I'm using the CafeTran Version as above).
Do I get it right that this is only possible for Version 11 (and higher, if available)?
If not - how can I adjust the settings so that my client can track the changes? Is there a way?
Thanks a million for your support!
Marion

Track changes Sep 21, 2022

Hi Marion,

Yes, the track changes feature is supported in CafeTran from version 11 and higher.

You can download it and install it from here: https://cafetran.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/forums/6000148195

In your situation you can, however, suggest the use of TQAuditor’s Quick Compare feature, to produce an Excel report highlighting any changes made during revision, by comparing the translated and the reviewed bilingual file.

This should be sufficient for your client's needs.

If you register with TQAuditor (free), you can also keep a history of these jobs and access a few more actions.

Since TQAuditor supports bilingual files from various CAT tools, it represents a universal, “CAT-tool-agnostic” solution for producing translation reviews. This means you can open the SDLXLIFF files to review, make the necessary changes in your preferred CAT tool, and then create a comparison report in TQAuditor.

It may or may not be. Better ask the client.

That's right, this is obviously something to confirm with the client.

That's why in my OP, I said Marion may "suggest the use of TQAuditor’s Quick Compare feature".

In case it wasn't clear, "should"was "used to indicate what is probable" (Oxford Dictionary).

When I upload these CafeTran Espresso XLF files, I only get this error message:

CafeTran XLF support Sep 22, 2022

I had asked the devs to add CafeTran XLF support in the past and they did. TQAuditor was able to handle XLF files, although I remember there was one nagging issue.

I suppose they dropped the support, or something has changed in some other way.

Maybe you can contact them.

So I did. So let's wait and see why they left out the technologically leading CAT tool.

Migrate to another version to have track changes? Sep 24, 2022

Hello,
I have the same issue with Track changes feature.
I have downloaded Cafe Tran 2018 Aqua 10 and today bought a yearly license. I want to change to a different version that will provide the track changes feature that I read that newer versions have.
I am not sure I understand how to do it. I work on Windows 10 Pro.
Any idea?
Thank you!
Sophia

Install the latest version Sep 25, 2022

Hi Sophia,

Usually, you can update CafeTran from one version to another, but in your case, since your version is quite old, and a lot has happened since, I recommend that you (uninstall CafeTran and) download/install the new version from https://www.cafetran.com/#download

After that, you will be able to install any new updates
