Is it possible to update a translation from a reviewed file halfway through the translation?

Mark Leach

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a large file and have been asked by the client to send batches of text to them for proofing every day. I exported a bilingual review file from Trados Studio 2017 and sent them that. I added a comment column to this file. The client has proofed this file and sent it back with tracked changes. But when I try to update the main sdlxliff file (the one I'm working on in editor) the tracked changes don't appear. In fact none of their changes or comments appear. Am I doing something wrong? Is it perhaps because there are still untranslated segments?

Thanks,

Mark

    But if you're getting such a message, my experience says, that nothing is then imported.
    Modifying the exported file in any way excerpt applying text-only changes to the target column renders this file unusable from my experience. It is (or at least was) even enough to open this file in a Word version prior to Word 2007 to stop the import process.
    So this is why I'm wondering your file got imported. But if it did NOT get imported, I could think about a solution. Obviously this would import the file without tracked changes, as the changes need to be accepted in Word before the import starts, but still the changes would apply.

    The first time I imported the file no changes appeared and I got errors. I then removed hard line breaks and the next import had 71 warnings and somehow displayed some of the text from the comments column of the review file in the target segments of the sdlxliff file. I've just tried pasting the tracked changed target column from the review file into the original review file I sent the client. When I try to use this I got a 'problem when merging content of segment' error.
    To be honest I think I'm just going to cut and paste from the review file into editor because I need to crack on with this job. But thanks for your assistance!
