A new update for CafeTran has been released. Segment patterns are supported now. Here is a first attempt to describe this all-new and potentially very productive technique.

short screencast on YouTube Oct 15, 2015

I just made a very short screencast, showing how it works:

Hi Dominique,

Did you already understand CafeTran's new Segment patterns feature before watching my screencast?

Hi Dominique,

Did you already understand CafeTran's new Segment patterns feature before watching my screencast?

• Igor explained it here: https://cafetran.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000063423-segment-patterns
• And Hans explained it here: http://cafetran.wikidot.com/segment-patterns

The example I chose for my screenscast ...

De bron kan apart aangekocht worden van het deksel.
=
The source can be purchased separately from the cover.

... might not be great, because you can probably also just enter it in your glossary as follows:

de bron = the source
kan apart aangekocht worden van = can be purchased separately from
het deksel = the cover

But I just wanted to show an example containing two variables ("{1}" + "{2}").

Entering:

De {1} kan apart aangekocht worden van het {2} = The {1} can be purchased separately from the {2}

into your glossary will now catch and auto-translate stuff like:

De deur kan apart aangekocht worden van de kast. = The door can be purchased separately from the wardrobe.
De sleutel kan apart aangekocht worden van het huis. = The key can be purchased separately from the house.
De mayonaise kan apart aangekocht worden van het hamburger. = The mayonnaise can be purchased separately from the hamburger.
etc.

Assuming, that is, that you have the following in your glossary as well:

deur = door
kast = wardrobe
sleutel = key
huis = house
mayonaise = mayonnaise
hamburger = hamburger

Is it any clearer now?

Michael
