Hi,

Did you try the steps in this article?

Well, yes. But everything you have translated will be re-used when you prepare the file.

If you don't want to set up a new project, you should be able to just add the file again in the existing project (after changing the file type settings of course). I would recommend to create a subfolder to avoid any file name conflicts (or re-name the file itself before you add it in Studio). This would be my approach, because I know I get the exact same settings, except the file type setting that I changed, since I use the exact same project.

1. In the Files view, switch to the source language in the drop-down list above the tree structure.

2. Right-click on the project in the tree structure, choose Add New Folder and give it a name (e.g. Re-prep or No_Hyperlinks)

3. Drag and drop the source file in Studio, right-click and choose Batch Tasks > Prepare without Project TM.
4. Switch back to the target language. Done.

Hello Anne,

We have a Youtube channel that might contain helpful videos for you.

Take a look at this one for example and let me know if it helps.

Thanks, Zoltan

OK, here we go. But you will probably notice that it is more or less the same as adjusting the settings in the existing project :)

Step 1 is to make the necessary settings in your PDF file type:
Click File > Options > File Types > PDF > Common and choose either Extract only hyperlink text or Never process hyperlinks under Extract Hyperlinks:

To translate the file:
1. In Studio, click File > Open > Translate Single Document.
2. Browse to your PDF file and click Open.
3. In the Open Document dialogue box, add the TM that you have stored the translations from your previous translation (Add > File-based Translation Memory) and click OK.

4. The file should be populated with CM matches when you move from segment to segment. When you save your translation, one SDLPROJ file and one SDLXLIFF file will be saved in the same location as the PDF file you opened in step 1.
5. When you are finished, click File > Save Target As > choose a location > Save.

As for the second question, you can delete your original translation eventually, but just wait until you have delivered and everything is fine.

I managed to follow your instructions creating a new project but I couldn't find my translations. How is it supposed to be saved in the memory?

Sorry, I missed this one.

Open the first project. If you did not update the TM while translating, use the batch task Update Main Translation Memories, so that your translations are saved in the TM. When you are translating the new file, use the same TM as you updated by specifying it in Project Settings.

Hope this makes sense.
