Good Morning!
I'd like to translate a PowerPoint presentation with TagEditor (version 6.5), but when I open the file I only get the headlines and a few sentences.
Is there a way to change the settings in order to be able to edit the whole of the text?
Also, as a consequence of this problem, I have tried to translate the file with T-Windows, but there the font in the translated segment is not automatically the same as in the source text, so I have to change it manu... See more Good Morning!
I'd like to translate a PowerPoint presentation with TagEditor (version 6.5), but when I open the file I only get the headlines and a few sentences.
Is there a way to change the settings in order to be able to edit the whole of the text?
Also, as a consequence of this problem, I have tried to translate the file with T-Windows, but there the font in the translated segment is not automatically the same as in the source text, so I have to change it manually for every segment, which, of course, complicates the task.
So far I have always used TagEditor without encountering any problems, so I'm not much familiar with T-Windows...
Maybe someone can help me with one of these two problems?
Thanks in advance! ▲ Collapse

| Can you edit the text not shown? | Jan 31, 2006 |
Hi Cécile,
Have you checked whether the text you're missing is, in fact, editable in PowerPoint? Very often, PPT files contain embedded objects - if you cannot edit them in PPT, TagEditor will also be unable to access them.
Best regards,
Ralf

however, I have to click twice to edit these parts. Maybe I should also mention that these parts mostly consist of tables.

then the only CAT tool I know of that is able to work on it (to include such tables in the "automatic" translation) is Transit.

Sounds like embedded Excel (or Word) tables. I would suggest to try and obtain the underlying files - as a (possibly somewhat cumbersome) workaround, you could use T-Window for Clipboard.
The problem is that these embedded objects are not part of the Powerpoint file - hence, TagEditor will not identify them as translatable text (pretty much along the lines of objects embedded in Word).
Best regards,
Ralf
