Inserting glossary entries

[Gururaj Rao]

Hi all,

I am sure there is a way to entries registered in the glossary to be inserted (not replacing) the terms in the text to be translated. Will you step me through the procedure?

TIA

Do you mean automatically?

​Hello Ryan,

​

​Yes. Since you asked, I suppose this function of automatically inserting all glossary entries into the text to be translated does not exist.

Wasn't there an automatic translating function (inserting all 100% matches into the text)? If that is possible, I presume inserting glossary entries would also be possible?

I once created a Word macro that would do this, but I probably didn't make it public. I may still have it around, or if not, it's not too hard to replicate (the Felix COM instance provides this info).

Let me get back to you.

​This is useful for outsourcing jobs to translators after inserting entries you want them to use.

Thanks, Ryan.

Sorry to double post. I did make the macro public, but it doesn't do quite what you ask. It instead replaces all glossary entries in the selection. Shouldn't be too hard to modify it to insert them alongside instead.

Download ReplaceGlossMatches, and replace the following line:

.Replacement.Text = glossMatch(1)

With this:

.Replacement.Text = glossMatch(1) + " " + glossMatch(0)

(You could also wrap the source (glossMatch(0)) with parens, should be simple to figure out)

You could assign a keyboard shortcut for this macro, so although it wouldn't be completely automatic, it gets you a lot of the way there. Another macro in that post goes through the entire document; maybe that's what you want.
