Language Switch in a TM

Question

Hello guys ... Can You help me please? 
 I have got a TM from a collegue of mine, and this TM seems to be from ENG to RUS ... BUT ... at a certain point, Ithe two languages are switched each-other ... I do not know why but, I don't really care ... My point is: can You suggest the correct and better way to do that? 
 Here is a screenshot ... ... Ok, I forgot to catch the RIGHT part of the screen but, trust me ... in the right-upper part there is Russian, and after that English ... 
 
 Many thanks. Pietro

I think a bit of regex will make its magic:

In Trados Studio, export the TM to TMX
Install Notepad++ or any decent editor.
Open the TMX with Notepad++. Be patient…
In Notepad++, go to the end of the file and select the wrong text. Find the TU corresponding to the segment 20188 and then select until the end of the file.
Press CTRL+H to bring the Replace dialog box up.
Tick In selection check box.
In Find what paste this regex:
(<tuv xml:lang="en-US">\r\n\s+<seg>)(.+?)(</seg>\r\n\s+</tuv>\r\n\s+<tuv xml:lang="ru-RU">\r\n\s+<seg>)(.+?)(</seg>)
In Replace with, paste this regex:
\1\4\3\2\5
Tick the Regular Expression radio button
Press Replace button to replace 1 by 1, or Replace All button to replace all in the selected text.

Notepad++ Replace dialog box with regex code entered in 'Find what' and 'Replace with' fields. 'In selection' and 'Regular expression' options are checked.

☛ You may need to change the language codes (en-US or/and ru-RU) to match the exact language combination of your TM.

☛ Don't forget to tick In selection check box or Notepad++ will replace all the TUs.

Once the replacement is done:

save the TMX
create a new empty TM in Trados Studio
import the TMX to the new TM
check it that everything looks good!

 For example, if you need to filter TUs with Cyrillic characters in the Target, insert this regex: 
 \p{IsCyrillic} 
 in the Target Text field and tick Use Regular Expressions in the TM view.

 OK, the reason is that Atom doesn't use the same regex flavor as Notepad++. 
 With Atom, you need to use $ 1$4$3$2$5 instead of \1\4\3\2\5. I can't test it, but it should work.
