I have to use TRADOS for my Burmese translation.
For Burmese we have to use two main fonts - Unicode one and non-unicode one (Zawgyi).
Just some days ago I bought the latest TRADOS 2021. I had some new problems in using it for Burmese.
I decided to upgrade my W7 to W10.And, I am trying to use TRADOS 2021 for Freelancers. After that my problem went much more worse.
Currentlly I have two orders on hand. One is to boe done using Burmese Unicode font and another is to be done using non-unicode font called Zawgyi-one.
To type Burmese characters we have to use some third-party apps. Windows had invented its own font called Myanmar Text and they have their own keyboad for typing. But, for mw, who is engaged in Burmese writing (suing computer) for more than 10 years, that font and keyboard from Windows something on Mars! To use them one has to learn as a new subject becasuse they use quite a diffrent keyboard from those one familar in Myanmar. It is ugly and useless for me. I know how to type Zawgyi-one and other Burmese Unicode fonts, I am used to their keyboard layout.
When I tried to work using TRADOS 2021 for Burmese Unicode font, I found that no one of the apps used by me to type Burmese are not working well. I know two-three apps which works perfectly in Office 2010. When I type my Burmese translation in the Editor window in TRADOS 2021 the text appears with a lot of corrupions when the same ext typed in Office 2010 looks perfet!. Then I tried to use Windows Myanmar Visual Order Keyboard, I could use one typing app but it also has some unusual problems if we compare with typing in Office 2010. But, I am used to the Keyman Keyboard for all my working years. That Keyman Keyboard (myWin Extended) is not working in TRADOS. When I type some symbols do not appears at all or some are corrupted. At the same time if I shall type the same text in Office 2010, it shows up perfext!
Now about using for Zawgyi-one. First of all, I could not find Burmese (not Burmese (Myanmar)) which should be used for Zawgyi-one to make Font Adaption. I had to choose Burmese (Myanmer)., In this case when I oprn Editor, all my typed text is appearing fully corrupted!! In the old TRADOS with Windos 7, I could type Zawgyi. Now it is impossibel. Even when I copy a term, it is being copied corupted!! It seems I need to go back to Windows 7 and TRADOS 2017!
