Hi - not sure why this is happening, but when I use alt+insert in order to copy the source into the target (because it doesn't need to be translated), Wordfast Pro inserts translations for the words in the source that I have in my terminology/dictionaries.

In my opinion, "copy source" is not doing what it is supposed to do, which would be copying the source. It seems as if this function is somehow mixed up with the auto-suggest function. I thought that unchecking "glossary matches"... See more

Copying versus inserting Aug 25, 2013

Hi Clarisa,

Thanks for your suggestion. That does solve the problem, but I am somewhat puzzled how/why to use this option. I use copy source (alt+ins) for two main reasons:
- To copy the structure of the source content (when it is complex with many tags, for example, or because the structure needs to be maintained)

In the second case I just want a copy.

But anyway, thanks for helping me figuring this out. I'll try one way and the other and see what I need most. ▲ Collapse
