I would like to pre-translate the files so that the source would be copied to target on no match. Is that possible in WFP? I'm tired of pressing alt+ins a thousand times.

Combine Tools/Tools/Translate with the PB option CopySourceWhenNoMatch. That should do the trick.
Cheers,
Gerard
PS Sorry, that's a WFC solution. Isn't it a drag that WFP can't do the same? That would also be a perfect solution for translating WFP pretranslated documents in WFC.

1. If none of the cells contain a translation yet, set your fuzzy match percentage to 100%, turn off all penalties, select a blank TM, and then select Copy Source When No Match (somewhere). Then just use the "down" button to zip through all segments.
2. If some of the cells contain a translation, you need to visit them individually and press Alt+Ins on each of them, individually.

To reach what Samuel mentioned, just click on Edit, then Preferences and then on Translation Memory, the first option at the top of the screen is "Copy source on no match"

I don't get it. I thought that source had to be copied ONLY on no match. If TM is blank/empty, how you can get match or no match?

Oh, I misinterpreted what the original poster's wanted. You can use your existing TM, of course, but if you do the copying quickly, you won't notice if a segment is auto-inserted from the TM, and that means that you won't check that segment to see if it is correct.

The command is Ctrl + Alt+ Ins.
I use it very extensively as to pre-processing the txml file this way becomes necessary before starting the traslation with DVX, which is by far my CAT of choice.

This command does make all segments source=target, but it does it to *all* segments, and not only to the non-translated ones. Anyway, it is nice to know about it, since I will definitely make use of it.

I found out about this command the wrong way, when I pressed the Ins key instead of Del by accident, while I was translating in WF Pro. When I saw the message (that all source segments are copied to the target) and cancelled it, it was too late, half of my translation was ruined. I tried to undo it (edit, undo), but this only undid the last segments that I typed. I tried to retranslate, using the TM (ALT+Down), but strangely, it did not work. The only solution was to close the document without saving it, and open it again. Luckily, I did not lose more than segments, so I don´t know if this time it would have been possible to recover the lost part (by closing without saving) with ALT+Down, but anyway the solution does not seem elegant, so I wonder if it is possible to undo this command (CTRL+Alt+Ins) in another way.

The same thing just happened to me, this comment saved me 100 segments, I had pressed Alt Gr+Insert, thank you!

Ctrl Alt Ins copied all source to target in Wordfast Pro.
