If Problems Installing/Using CFG for InDesign CS5 or 5.5

We've seen a few cases where the Mac install of CFG failed to finish properly. Symptoms are not saving Preferences or trouble exporting to XLIFF. In this case the CFG logfile called CFG_Logfile.txt may contain a line cvan't find the Skeleton folder.

If this happens you may need to create 2 folders by hand.

Quit Indesign, make these folders and then restart.

CFG stores its preferences and skeleton files for XLIFF & CFG XML in :

Library:Applications Support:Naps

If this 'Naps' folder does not exist - create it by hand, then within it create a folder called 'Skeletons'.

When you restart Indesign CFG should then function normally.

CopyFlow Gold for Quark 9 (Macintosh) update

CopyFlow Gold for Quark 8 also works with Quark 9. However; you do need CFG version 8.0.6 or later, which we have just posted to the web site. This version works around a problem in QuarkXPress 9 when importing anchored picture boxes.

More about upgrades.

CopyFlow Gold for InDesign CS5.5

Today we updated the Copyflow Gold installer for CS5 so it will work with CS5.5 as well. A new copy of the demo has been uploaded to the web site.

CopyFlow Gold for InDesign CS4 - Updated 4.9.7

CopyFlow Gold for Quark 8 (Windows) update

CopyFlow Gold for QuarkXPress 8 (Windows) has been updated to fix a problem with the 'Remember Folders' feature. If you do use 'Remember Folders' you should turn off the CFG Preference for 'Simple UI'. Version: 8.0.6.

CopyFlow Gold for InDesign CS5 & CS4 update

We found and fixed a problem in CopyFlow Gold export - when exporting to any of the formats which use an IDML skeleton file (XLIFF or CFG XML) from an InDesign file which had accented characters in the InDesign file name : e.g., Bërg.indd . This is now fixed. The version for CS5 is 5.3 and for CS4 - 4.9.5.

CopyFlow Gold for InDesign CS5 - Major Update 5.2

We have updated CopyFlow Gold for InDesign CS5 to include Folder Batching for InDesign into XLIFF, XML, RTF and the other export formats commonly used in DTP translation and localization.

At installation the batch script CFGBatchFolder.jsxbin is installed into the Adobe InDesign CS5 scripts folder. The general workflow for the Folder Batch operation can be found here on the NAPSYS.COM web site.

This release also includes a major modification to the structure of the XLIFF files. The XLIFF and CFGXML formats are now paragraph based to optimize their use with translation memory (TM).

XLIFF trans-units are now paragraphs which contain text runs as delimited segments; the tags this version writes are incompatible with earlier versions - so please begin with a fresh export and import only CFGXML or XLIFF exported from this version or later ones.

As always, we recommend updating your CFG translation tool only after a project is completed. It is always best to complete all your outstanding translation round-trips before changing software versions.

The ./NapsCS5/otherfiles folder contains a CFGXML configuration file for Trados Studio - so its trans-units will recognized as paragraphs.

If you find a problem please send us both the indd file and the translated text you wish to import. And let us know which translation tool you are using.
