Hi Francois, 

Sure thing! So, I would add the ErrorMessages.EN.resx to a new project and use the built-in 'Microsoft .NET Parser' for RESX files:

Then, add the Target Languages FR and NL:

Then, I would Create/Update the Source and Target string lists:

Then, I would open each of the Target string lists, select all strings and click Home > Scan Target File (Alignment). Select the target file for alignment under this file and make sure that only 'Validate modified strings' is selected under Options:

This will validate all strings that are modified, which should validate all strings that are untranslated as well. So then I would filter to 'Unchanged Translation':

This will filter to all strings where the Target is the same as the Source. Select all filtered strings and press Ctrl+U. This will un-translate and turn to red all of these strings that are unchanged.

Then go back to the Project tab, select all target string lists and select Project > Export. Select the SDL Passolo TMX Export, click Next and make sure that the Output is set to Write another file for each target language. This will only export the Translated strings to the TMX, skipping all of the strings that I had changed to Untranslated. Then, these TMX files can be imported into an SDLTM in Trados Studio.
Best regards

Hi Francois,

Yes, this is easy enough in Passolo. In fact, there's 2 ways to do this. The 'best' way to do this is to align from target files. This is explained here:

- First, set-up the Target Path Rules by selecting Project > Target Path Rules > Edit > File name: Other name: <Title>.<RgnISO3166_2>.<SrcExt>

     - <RgnISO3166_2> refers to the 2-letter lang codes. This can be selected in the dropdown, as shown here:

- Make sure that this rule is applied to all target files. You can do this by selecting all files, right-clicking and selecting String List Settings... 

- Then, add the Target Path Rule, as shown here:

- Now, when you do the alignment, you should select Align from target files. This will align from all files that fit those Target Path Rules.

The other way is a quicker, but dirtier solution and more of a band-aid then a properly complete method.

- In this method, you could just place all FR files in a 'FR' folder, NL files in a 'NL' folder, etc.

- Then update the filenames so they are the same as the EN filenames by removing the lang code suffixes in all 3 folders, 'EN', 'FR' and 'NL'.

- Finally, select all of the FR target files first and Align from this folder. Then select the FR target folder and Align. Then align the NL files, etc.

 Let me know if you have any questions at all. If you start using Passolo, feel free to email me directly at lhipsher@sdl.com for a better walk-through. It seems a bit daunting at first but it really is a wonderful piece of software.

Thank you

Luke
