Hello everyone

A client sent me an SDLXLIFF file which is a merged file. Originally there were about 200 small files, but the client merged them all into one, large SDLXLIFF file and wants me to translate that. However, I find that the file is so big that it slows Trados 2011 down tremendously. I would have liked the client to merge the small files into more than one larger file, but I have no access to the end-client in this case. So... is there a way to split this SDLXLIFF fil... See more
Hello everyone

A client sent me an SDLXLIFF file which is a merged file. Originally there were about 200 small files, but the client merged them all into one, large SDLXLIFF file and wants me to translate that. However, I find that the file is so big that it slows Trados 2011 down tremendously. I would have liked the client to merge the small files into more than one larger file, but I have no access to the end-client in this case. So... is there a way to split this SDLXLIFF file into, say, ten virtual files (or ten real files)?

Thanks
Samuel

Added: I do have access to an installation of Trados 2014, but the version that I own is Trados 2011.

You can use SplitSDLXLIFF... Oct 21, 2014

... which is a free application you can download from:

http://www.translationzone.com/openexchange/app/sdlxliffsplitmerge-481.html

It works for Studio 2011 or 2014.

In case of having problems for downloading it , just write me in private and I will send it to you.
