Hi,

Something unpleasant happened to me today that I would like to understand, so that it can be avoided in the future. Here is the problem description:

• From customer X, I received an XLF file for an editing task de-fr_ch in Studio
• I checked every segment and made changes to some (not many)
• Note that I cannot use the preview with XLF files
• When all segments were checked and confirmed, and after the QA + spellchecker, I used Save Target As to create an XLF for delivery
• Soon after, the client informed me that the Word file they generated for the end customer contained some German text from the source. I am 100% sure that I had no German text in my target, the spellchecker would have warned me anyway.

Some more useful info:

• in 2 parts of the generated Word document, the text "Missing" appears, likely an internal string.
• segments where German text appears were not even changed by me during the editing task
• once the problem was known, I searched into the project for these wrong texts and did not find any, my project seems fine.

This seems to be a pretty tricky problem, but what I'd like to know is whether I may have done something wrong and/or how can I include an additional step in the QA to avoid garbage in the final file.

Thanks

Philippe
