Hi

I have Trados 2007 and translated a word doc in tag editor. I saved the target language file and proof read and spell checked it in word.

Client wants a TM and I dont want to have to manually update the billingual file.

Have I missed something?

Thanks

You need to edit the bilingual file Oct 30, 2009

Hello Louisa,

err... a TM is updated only if you edit a bilingual file, either in MSWord or a ttx. If you edited the target file, there is no way the target can be updated, as there is no source text (segment) as a reference.

Either you edit the ttx before saving as target only or you do the proofreading on the target only, but implement those changes in the ttx file, too. Once you are done, you can use a copy of the ttx for another cleanup. This way your TM will be upd... See more

Once you are done, you can use a copy of the ttx for another cleanup. This way your TM will be updated. Alternatively, you can open & close the segments you edit (so that the TM is updated while you are still proofreading).

... or you align source and target file, but it might be be a time-consuming job.
