alexpgpSomething - I don't know what - conspired to keep the TRADOS installed on my VAIO from working properly. I could have sworn I fixed the problem back when I fixed it on my desktop at home, but apparently, I didn't. I thus found myself faced with the prospect of translating a source file in situ, that is, typing the translation "on top of" the source, making the appropriate edits along the way.
The only problem with this is that having deleted the Russian source, I often want to look at what I've translated one last time before going on to new material. Fortunately, I brought my DejaVu dongle with me, too.
I finally got started on the translation around 10 or so, and by noon had only done 100 or so segments out of just over 300. Fortunately, I was able to improve that rate, so that now, after 3.5 hours of work, I have fewer than 50 segments left to translate (and that makes me very comfortable, considering the Tuesday deadline).
I can hear the sound of dished being washed in the kitchen behind my back, and Natalie and I need to be out of here by 2 pm in order to make it over to the Westheimer area in time for the concert. (I'm actually looking forward to this, BTW!)
There will be plenty of time, I think, to finish the edit of the item due tomorrow morning after we get home (based on the edit done on the plane, there are very few nits to correct).
Off to clean up and dress up!
Cheers...
