Translate
Hi! I'm currently in a project in which I've been asked to filter the repetitions of an xliff document and then extract them into a Word document (before doing the translation? is there a way in Trados directly or through an app to do this?

Two questions:
When you say 'xliff' do you mean an sdlxliff that has been created by Studio and is part of a Studio project?
Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your system?
If the answer to both these questions is 'yes', then with the sdlxliff open in the Studio Editor, you can use the display filter on the Review tab to display for repetitions (or just the first instances, or without the first instances if that's what is required), highlight all entries displayed then copy and paste to a Word document.
If you need more precise instructions post here, letting me know which version of Studio you are using, and I'll provide some.
If you are talking about an actual .xlf file, you can create a project to open it as an sdlxliff then proceed as above.
All the best,
Alison :)

I'm glad you were able to copy and paste into Word. It's probably the quickest way to achieve what you want.
It would be quite a complex thing to program, to be able to save only part of a file to Target. It would have to automatically include the file's opening and closing tags (invisible from the SDLXLIFF) at the beginning and end of the file, and also the beginning and ending tags of any sections one wished to include. I'm not sure that it would be possible...
If you wish, you could suggest it in the ideas section (accessible via the top toolbar in this page, via Ideas>SDL Trados Studio Ideas).
All the best,
Ali :)
