Trados takes all columns (ID, source, target, Comments and Status), the filetype does not work, I tried to unable and also disable the option Process files with tw4winMark style (as I read in a post with the same issue - https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/studio/20508/bilingual-file---target-text-appears-in-the-same-column-as-the-source-text/70554#70554). No solution was given there.
Any suggestions?
thank you
I'd say you are using the wrong filetype for the content you have. The RTF filetype is not a bilingual filetype. Can you share a small sample of your source file and we can provide you with better assistance?

Hi Paul,
This is how the content looks.
I can send you a sample file if needed.
Thank you for your help!
This looks like an export from memoQ. Is it possible to obtain the same export as plain xlf? In that case you would just open it in Studio and this would require no further actions.
If you just have this rtf, so it won't work directly in Studio. You need a workaround, which is copying the source AND the target column to Excel and using the Excel bilingual file type.

As Jerzy noted this is not a format that Trados would recognise as being bilingual out of the box. So you either do what Jerzy suggested and ask for the XLIFF (or MQXLIFF), handle using the bilingual Excel filetype, or copy the source column into the target and then assign a non-translatable style to everything apart from the target column. Then use the RTF filetype in Trados which will handle it easily.
But XLIFF is the most sensible way to go and then you'll find the process is very simple.

I did a workaround. Thank you both.
