I'm a freelance translator and have been told by a client that it is possible for Trados SDL studio to convert a Word file into an IDML. I do not see how this could be possible. If it is, would someone please tell me how.
Thanking you in advance
Raymond
As Nora mentions, if there was an IDML format at the start as source format - and it got converted by Studio to SDLXLIFF for the purpose of translation - then you can "convert SDLXLIFF to IDML" as the client claims...
If this is what your client meant, then the statement is - while technically true - simply misleading, as it's missing the fundamental first part...
And iif by the Word file is meant some kind of bilingual Word as 'replacement' for SDLXLIFF (and I don't know if this would be possible... perhaps using the SDLXLIIFF To Legacy converter?!), the same condition would apply.
