Hi guys,

OK, so this is driving me crazy. I am working on an app (https://supervertaler.com/ + https://github.com/michaelbeijer/Supervertaler) that imports bilingual files exported from various CAT tools, translates them, and export the bilingual file again so it can be re-imported into the person's CAT tool project.

CafeTran and memoQ bilingual files work flawlessly, but I am having serious trouble getting the Trados ones to be reimported back into my project (using: Update from bilingual review).

I know that these files are fragile, but is it still really this bad?

So far, there is no way I can get Supervertaler to generate a valid file that can be reimported. What's worse, even if I generate one of them, and then manually paste in the translations into the 4th column ("Target segment"), they still do not get reimported back into the project! A while ago, when I was struggling with the same problem, I remember a gotcha, but I can't seem to remember what it was.

A few questions:

• Does track changes need to be switched on in these files? 
• Do the tags need to be formatted exactly the same? My program does this.

 Anyway, any tips or suggestions would be most welcome!
