Wordfast Classic tries to cover the essential needs of everyday translation, but there are countless special situations that require specific features. Rather that multiplying endless setups with buttons and checkboxes, a raw but efficient "unnatural" interface is used to activate some rarely used features. Just enter one of the following commands in Pandora’s Box (PB), to obtain a particular behavior from Wordfast. Commands are separated with a paragraph mark.
During a translation session using Wordfast Classic, Ctrl+Alt+P* will turn off (and toggle back on) all the commands entered in PB.
Important: PB commands are case-sensitive. Use them the way they are produced when clicking the "Commands" button, or the way they are written in the manual. Adding or removing the _ (underscore) character disables or enables them, respectively. The underscore character can be located anywhere within the command. Thus,
AllowEmptyTarget is active;
Allow_EmptyTarget is not active;
AllowEmpty_Target is not active;
_AllowEmptyTarget is active because the underscored is not within the command;
Allowemptytarget is ignored because its case is not correct.Right-clicking the list of commands will toggle between the display of all commands, and only active commands.
* Pressing Ctrl+Alt+P while there is no segment open will generate a report about the current setup, which is useful for troubleshooting.
