Is there a way to output untranslated content from an new version of an InDesign file leveraging the TM?

Fredrik Starmark

We have a client who has been given us a larger publication in InDesign into 6 languages. They asked us to start localization of misc text content in advance while waiting for final InDesign layouts. We now have the final InDesign versions, but the client is asking us if there is a way to output the content that has not been localized. Ideally what they want is some for of table with captions etc which they can use in a separate web development process. 

Our first reaction is to say, no this content has to be provided in English to us. We can then leverage the TM and localize it quickly. The issue is that the client has to separate the content by hand in English. Is there a way around that?

Thank you,

Fredrik

    Hello ,

    I don't know if I'm understanding you correctly, but maybe you could use the Export to Excel batch task from the AppStore which would allow you to lock the translated segments and export only untranslated content. Would that help? The excel format would be easier for your client to use.

    Or maybe use the out of the box "Export unknown segments" in the Analyse Batch task. This would get you an SDLXLIFF of all the untranslated content and then you could export the whole file to Excel for your clients table... although this is an extra step to the first idea.
