Hi, I am using WF Pro 5.6.0 on a Mac.

I do not use shared TMs, and I have Google Translator, Microsoft Translator and WorldLingo turned off.

Why does the log in my hidden .gs4tr.editor folder show the following?

Not connecting Oct 24, 2018

Hello,
WFP5 is based on Java and chromium code so you can have the same application online or on your desktop. Java and chromium need a locally-hosted web server on the desktop version to run. This web server is not connected to the internet. It is basically a self-contained network. Your OS has the same thing.

The only time WFP5 connects to the internet (besides remote TMs & glossaries or MT engines) is for licensing and to check for updates.

Best,
John
