I\'ve experiencing a problem with a DV project. Once I\'ve finished the translation, I try to export the file (it\'s an Excel file indeed) and everything runs smoothly up to a certain point, when DV seems to go crazy and begins to remove the original text without adding the translation.
Have you ever seen something similar?
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

To correct this, go to the top of your document and press Ctrl-Shift-C, make any corrections (the codes have to be in the same order as in the original, meaning that {012} cannot be before {011}).
HTH,

Yes, you can get answers to such questions on the DV list (www.atril.com - Support - USerGroup: there you will find the URL).

You can try this workaround: copy and paste the contents of your Excel table into Word, creating a table. Open a Word project, then Pretranslate (you should have all the segments in your TM from your Execl project). Export. Copy the Word table back into Excel. ▲ Collapse

TOPIC STARTER
The problem was not related to the codes, indeed I\'ve pretranslated a new DV project with a database created from the \"wrong\" DV project and it seems it\'s OK now (maybe the project was not properly created). I don\'t know...
