Hello,
I have a .ttx file. The source language is English. I want to translate it into Arabic (UAE).
When I open it in Trados and choose Arabic (UAE), Trados says "The file contains target language
content in 'Arabic (Saudi Arabia)'. The file will be marked as reference".
However, when I choose Arabic (Saudi Arabia) as the target language, everything goes OK.
My problem now is how to translate the file with Arabic (UAE) being the target language ?
Regards,
Ali

| | Remove the target language entry from TTX | Feb 2 |
Open the TTX file in Notepad.
Localise the entry TargetLanguage and remove anything between the quotes behind, leaving it like this TargetLanguage=""
Save the file and try again.

When I open the .ttx with Arabic (Saudi Arabia) as the target language, I note that some segments are pre-translated. I do not know why does this happen while I choose no TMs at all in the new project wizard?
How could I tell Trados NOT to use any TM?

Thank you. I only changed TargetLanguage="Ar" to TargetLanguage="" and it works well.
But I am afraid this could lead to problems? Because I am not sure what this is all about??

This was just a language name in TTX. Your Trados will place the Arabic you need.
