Hello!
I am trying to translate a document from English to Hindi by using Trados. The client has requested me to provide a bilingual file (English and Hindi). If I use Trados, then we get the bilingual file including Trados tag.
Is there any procedure to remove the tag to retain both source (English) and target (Hindi) text?
Please assist me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manohar ROSHAN

| keep the tags there | Jun 25, 2009 |
You have to keep the tags in there! (If you mean the small violet tags between sentences.)
They separate the source and target segments, i. e. are perfectly needed for a bilingual file.
Otherwise you would end up with a long useless English/Hindi/English/Hindi... mixed text with no option (for the client) to clean the file up (to use only the Hindi text).

What are you trying to achieve? What do you mean by bilingual file? Does your customer know you are using Trados?

Actually, I want to give the final document to the client in the bilingual format.
Could you guide me how to remove those violet tags and yet keep the file bilingual?
The requirement for the customer is that both the source (English) and target (Hindi) should be visible at the time on the same document.
Therefore, I am searching some method by which I can remove the violet tags and not to clean the file, so that I can retain the document as bilingual.

| there is a way,of course! | Jun 25, 2009 |
to remove these violet tags.
Step 1:
Word('s Tool bar)--"Edit"--"Select All"
Step 2:
Word('s tool bar)--"Format"--"Font"--"Effects"--remove ticker(if any) beside "Hidden"
Step 3(important!):
Word('s tool bar)--"Edit"--"Replace"--"Find what":{0>,

Make sure no text is hidden.
Remove the purple tags by find and replace (replace them all by nothing except

Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose/effect of having bilingual file (sentence by sentence) without tags? Or is the text structured somehow?

| Another way to get rid of tags | Jun 26, 2009 |
You can also put your cursor upon one tag, press the right button of the mouse and choose "select text with similar format". So you'll have all tags selected, at this point press backspace and voilà, all the tags have disappeared!

| For those who didn't get the idea... | Jun 26, 2009 |
Manohar Roshan's client requests a bilingual document. That's why tags must be eliminated and the source text can be viewed. This way the customer will view just a bilingual file, with no tags and not hidden text.
PS: Octavano's tip is new to me. That's a good one! Thanks.

I tried to follow the steps which is provided by "Actavano", when I click on the backspace, it gives me a message "Protected tag".

when I click on the backspace, it gives me a message "Protected tag".
In Word, click on Trados in the top menu and choose "Toggle Tag Protection" (or use ALT+CTRL+P). Now?
This way the customer will view just a bilingual file, with no tags and not hidden text.
I understand that, but I'm not sure what good it makes to see something like (replace each next pair with a different content):
Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno! Good morning! Bon giorno!
- in one endless stream...? How easy it will be to navigate through that for whatever purpose? Or is there some structure? Well just curious.

| Cut and copy | Jun 26, 2009 |
Try it with cut and copy instead of backspace. It works for sure!
