Formatting doesn't apply on the output file (Persian target language)

Hi,

Recently, we had a big issue with SDL Trados. When formatting a part of text in Trados, such as making the text bold, the output file won't take this format. In this case, in the word document you can see that the "bold" icon is activated, but the text isn't bold at all. I will send the .xliff file and its output for you to look at it. Please help me to solve the problem, cause we've assigned 19 projects to our translators, which each of them has around 140.000 words, and you know how much time it takes to manually make the output formatting right. (Segments 24 and 26 has formatting in the attached file; see Microsoft Word comments in the word file)

  • Dear Allreza,

    In our work with Word documents, we often have to apply formatting in the target which is not present in the source for different languages (in French you have to translate words like 3rd using super script or in Spanish or Portuguese you might to use italics for foreign words).

    You are right, it is a standard feature for the translation of different file types and I can confirm that it works well in our environment. It is also supported by SDL Studio and you might want to log a case with their support team.

    I would only add you might get more help from other users in the community if you could mention which version of SDL Studio you are using and which versoin of the Word file types you are working with, in case there is any known bug.
