The new version of CafeTran is here and a lot of work has been done to make its interface simpler for you. Since the ‘old’ videos about the Project Manager do not apply anymore, here is a series of screenshots showing you how to install CafeTran 2014 and how to create a new glossary and a new project.
You can download the new version (‘Gandalf Preview’) here

VIDEO ONE
When setting up a new project, you need to:
- Select 'New Project Memory' in the Project manager (this will create a project TM, which will be stored in your Project Folder)
- Give your project a name
- Select a location for your project on your computer (this is the Project Folder referred to above in step 1)
- Select the document for translation (it is best to put this inside the Projecy Folder)
VIDEO TWO
We have now finished the translation. Let's check that our translated segments were saved to our Project TM. I will also check the TM itself in Olifant.
VIDEO THREE
After editing the original document, we add it to our project in CT (Project > Add document…) and should now get fuzzy hits from our project TM.
