How to make Bilingual Word file

Hello,

 

I have source file in Word, I want to generate the target file as bilingual.

 

Please guide me how can I do so?

    Condition 1: I do not want to spend money
    Condition 2: I do not need old style

    then you have only one choice "Export for Bilingual Review"
    Now, I'm adding

    Condition 3: I do want simple result.

    Now, you got nothing, unless you have excellent MS Word VBA skills.

    Let me make it clearer with screenshots.

    Screenshot of Trados Studio interface showing original sdlxliff status with a document open in the background.

    Screenshot of Trados Studio 'Export for Bilingual Review' dialog box with options for exporting a document.

    Screenshot of a Word document titled 'myResult, sentence level' with highlighted text indicating changes.

    Screenshot of a Word document titled 'myResult, paragraph level' with continuous text and no visible highlights.

     

    regards

  • Excuse me Martin... Do you really need to have brilliant VBA skills to convert table to text? I thought it was a standard feature in MS Word (Layout > Convert to Text). And what do you do at [what you refer to as] "sentence level" when segmentation is not that right and obvious? For example, ending with : or . that is not a full stop but just a dot? Not to mention formatting.
