Still spinning my wheels...
Nov. 20th, 2005 02:12 pmThe flashing disk activity LED was a red herring. Word had quietly given up the ghost and nothing at all was being done with the translation memory file.
And now, I'm wondering just what happened to the file, as after merging two files that contain probably 80+% common entries, the routine in the older version of Wordfast found only 14 duplicates (out of 100K entries). I get the feeling that the idea I had some time ago, to create a MySQL app to tear apart, edit, and reassemble such files is probably not so bad, especially if I build in come capability of finding (and removing) duplicates and creating concordances.
Now, to find the time.
I need to jump on the Big Medical Job™ and soonest, as 3K source words is a hefty chunk of text.
Cheers...
