Is there's a relatively simple way in a newer WordFast Classic to remove duplicates in three glossaries? A colleague got a glossary form her client, and while it does show G1, G2, or G3, but there're too many repetitive entries to track them down manually.
Merging the glossaries doesn't help either for File is too big too sort!
While there's a "Consider these glossaries as one single glossary_1,2,3", yet re-organizing doesn't remove repetitions for they are still separate files.

| Try the Data Editor | Aug 27, 2018 |
Have you tried the Data Editor (Ctrl+Alt+Enter) ?
You may then try, after selecting a glossary, to click on the Tools tab and, on the Glossary tools tab, click on Mark redundant entries, then click OK. Take a look at the glossary to make sure that redundant entries are marked, then hit the Delete key. At that point, marked entries should have turned into blank lines. To remove them completely from the glossary, hit Ctrl+Delete.
Repeat for all glossaries.

I'm writing this procedure from memory, I haven't tried it myself. ▲ Collapse

| another low-tech idea | Aug 27, 2018 |
If my idea doesn't work, there's a low-tech way:
Open the glossaries in Word or the text editor of your choice, sort the entries in alphabetical order, then manually delete all redundant entries.

TOPIC STARTER
However, the point is it's about duplicates between three (3) different big glossaries (200k+ entries each), which cannot be rearranged in WFC as a single file.

1. Do you want to remove entries based on identical source text only, based on identical source and target text, or based on the entire glossary entry (i.e. if source and target is identical but the comment is different, then don't delete it)?
2. What operating system is this for?
