Hi Paul (pfilkin) , I omitted one piece of information that might make sense to you. When we got the reviewed bilingual doc back, the segment IDs were completely changed on each row, as shown below.

To resolve this issue, I used the original bilingual review to import all changes from the reviewed version. 

Have you any idea how this might have happened? We had instructed our client to save the bilingual review file on their desktop before making changes and I can't imagine they inserted these manually.

Thanks,

Steven

It looks like the Segment IDs that have come from the client's review are a concatenation of Translation Unit IDs and Segment IDs. For example, this is what we see in the sdlxliff for Segment 1, which follows the same pattern throughout. 

This is what we see in the reviewed bilingual file in the Segment column for Segment 1:

My question now is: how could our client end up sending us back the bilingual review with these IDs replacing the original ones?

Good question... I think you'll only know if your client is 100% honest and detailed about the history of the bilingual review file you sent him.  These files are pretty sensitive as we embed informamtion into the docx so opening in other tools, older versions of Word, saving as a different version of Word and back again etc... these are all things that have the potential to cause problems.

If you ever find out we can add it to the long list of things that can go wrong!
