Markdown files

Hello,

I have not any deeper knowledge of handling file types other than Microsoft Office and those most frequent ones. I also do not translate Markdown files normally, hoping - when I saw Markdown listed among Studio file types - that it would be no great pain.

But it was. When I finalised the translated file and sent it to the client, the file turned out to be corrupt and did not work. The client told me I could change the .md to .txt. I did but the result was still not as desired.

Can anyone tell me please which way to go - are there any special actions to do before I can treat .md files or is there any special wonder in Studio I still haven't discovered? I cannot see much configuration options there for Markdown files.

I did my search for this issue here at this site but I find all the results too complex for me to grasp. 

Thank you very much everyone.

  • the file turned out to be corrupt and did not work.

    Can you explain why?  What did the file contents look like?

    The client told me I could change the .md to .txt. I did but the result was still not as desired.

    This would cause Studio to handle it as a plain text file and would not use the markdown filetype at all.

    Well...can you share the markdown file you are handling so we can have a better idea of what to suggest?  In theory it should be no great pain, but often it's the details that can cause problems and markdown can mean different thigs to different users as there is no one specification for all.
