Hello! It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where the source text is appearing in both columns of your generated target translations instead of the translated text. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

**Step 1:** Verify the Translation Status  

Ensure that all segments in your SDLXLIFF file are confirmed and marked as "Translation Approved." If any segments are still unconfirmed, they will not be included in the target document.

**Step 2:** Check for Hidden Characters  

Sometimes, hidden characters in the translation can cause issues. Open the SDLXLIFF file in a text editor (like Notepad++) and check for any hidden or problematic characters that may need to be removed.

**Step 3:** Generate Target Translations Again  

Try generating the target translations again using the Batch Tasks option. Go to Home > Batch Tasks > Generate Target Translations. Make sure to select the correct settings for your project.

**Step 4:** Review the File Type Settings  

Since you mentioned that this is a merged file, ensure that the correct file type is being used. If there are any discrepancies, it may revert to a previous version. You can check the file type settings in Project Settings > File Types.

**Step 5:** Export the Translated Document  

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, try exporting the translated document again. Use the File > Save Target As option or the shortcut Alt+F10 F G to ensure that the correct output format is selected.

**Step 6:** Consider Recreating the Project  

If the problem persists, consider recreating the project or the SDLXLIFF file. This can sometimes resolve underlying issues that are not immediately apparent.

If you continue to face challenges, please provide any error messages you encounter or additional details about the steps you've taken. This will help in diagnosing the issue further.

Just didn't really help. Told me stuff I'd already tried/already knew.
