Mac users: How do you deal with GroupShare projects? Thread poster: Hans Lenting
|
|---|
There are plenty of CAT tools that run 'natively' on a Mac, but for GroupShare projects, you'll need Trados to download them. (I hope I am mistaken.)
Here is a question for Mac users: How do you deal with GroupShare projects?
(I assume that you handle your e-mail via a Mac app ...)

Never got this type of project, so I have no idea.

Q. How do you deal with GroupShare projects?
A. I don't do them and the whole concept of translating a document with others, in a group, is anathema to me.

GroupShare projects don't necessarily require any collaboration between colleagues. They are just a way to send files easily to many translators (e.g. for different language combinations).

It says here that the main function is for translators working in groups.

The only interaction you can have is with you revisor and/or proofreader.
You open one or more files with "Open Trados GroupShare Project", translate it, finalise it and checked in those files in order to send them to the revision stage.
I work alone and not in groups.
The files are split into pairs/groups of languages:

You need to have a Trados license for those projects, right? You can't work on them using Cafetran or MemoQ?

I believe that GroupShare projects can be created only by agencies with a dedicated corporate licence, but I'm not completely sure.
No, I think it is not possible. Both tools work using servers (memoq and Trados Studio).

I do it this way:
‣ In Airmail I right-click on the URL to a GS project, whenever a message with a new project comes in.
‣ I activate Windows (under Fusion).
‣ In Windows Edge Explorer I paste the URL in the address bar.
‣ Trados starts, the new GS project is opened.
‣ I check the project out.
‣ I copy the SDLXLIFF file(s) to the Mac side.
‣ I translate in CafeTran Espresso on Mac.
‣ To check the translated project in, I copy... See more I do it this way:

A lot of steps. Where are the times when I received SDLXLIFF file(s) via the mail 😺.

Just tested it again: when I click on the link in Airmail, I get:
And then it stops. I'll have to take the manual steps described above.
I'll try to come up with a macro in Keyboard Maestro.

This seems to work (even without any macro):
- Switch Fusion to Unity mode (View » Unity).
- Launch Trados.
- Make sure that the Welcome page is active.
- Launch Edge for Windows (not sure if this is really necessary)
- Click on the Trados project URL in Airmail.

Tested with a new GroupShare project. First switched the Windows VM to Unity View: the URL in the mail was opened correctly by Studio.
Parallels has a similar view, called Coherence:
What is Coherence?
Coherence is a view mode that allows you to run Windows applications on your Mac, as though they were native Mac applications.
