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.

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
