Target document only partially translated (issue with embedded images??)

Wendy Penn Wollard

I have encountered this problem two times now.

In Studio 2017 with Word 2016, a docx source document (converted from Google doc) contains an image.  I fully translate the document in Studio, but when the target document is generated it is only translated up to the offending image.

I have seen this reported a couple of times, but no satisfactory response thus far. 

Any quick fixes other than the slicing, dicing, cutting & pasting that I do to the target doc at the end of the process?

Thanks in advance,

Wendy

    Hi

    If this happened to me, my immediate reaction would be to create a copy of the Word document, delete the image from it, then create a new project from that. (I personally would then probably highlight the whole Word document and do something to remove any necessary background tags/invisibles that might cause problems. For example change the language with the whole document highlighted then change it back. That sounds weird but it's how I used to smooth out a different word processing/DTP program's glitches though I haven't tried it in Word...)

    Then, I would first 'save Target as' in Studio to be sure that the document worked OK then retranslate using a dedicated memory created from the first translation, then save that back to Word. Then I would copy and paste the image from the original file back into the translated document.

    That's probably what you mean by 'slicing, dicing, cutting & pasting' but it would be simpler than finding out what in the Word document/image is causing the problem.

    All the best,
