Hello everyone,
I am a new user of SDL Trados and I have a basic understanding of how it works, but I am experiencing some difficulties in handling tags contained in the source document that I am translating.
My source document is a Word file with text and also a few images with figures/tables. These figures/tables are mentioned throughout the text. I've noticed that every time the name of a figure/table appears in the source document, Trados has created a tag for it. So, for instance, when the text reads "As figure X shows", "figure X" corresponds to a tag.
Since I need to translate the word "figure" in the target document, I was wondering if there is any way I can get SLD Trados to extract the translatable text from the tag. Otherwise I keep getting error messages for those segments, because SDL Trados assumes that the tag is missing when I have simply translated the original words into the target language.
It might be relevant to mention that I have already started to translate the text, so I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve losing the segments that were already translated.
Could you provide any advice and point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance!
