Redesign external review

Hi!

External review is often required by some clients. Sadly, the bilingual Word approach is far from being stable and reliable.

Three options:

1. Design a new feature from scratch (Excel please !)

2. Add a warning message, something like "Don't use on large projects!!"

3. Get rid of this feature ;-)

  • Hello Adrian! I think the way to make this feature more robust is to keep away from Word ;-) I'm pretty sure many people will confirm the External Review is not very stable. The steps I take are pretty standard: re-export to Word, copy/paste the old column in the new file. It usually works fine. It's just frustrating... That's why I really wish SDL could find a neat trick to review/import content in SDLXLIFF files (I know Retrofit works really well, but some of my clients want to review in bilingual files).
