Hi,
I use Trados for translation. I use workbench and tag editor(even for word files) and send the translated file to the client. Now one of my client needs clean + unclean file + new TM. I dont understand what is unclean file and in which format should i send the TM. Experts please advice.

TIA,
Lavanya.

Hello Lavanya,
regarding your questions:

1. Your client wants the bilingual file to keep his TM up-to-date in case he makes any changes to your work. It is common practice.

2. Export the TM into TMX 1.4b and send the TMX. If the TM is large, you may want to ZIP it. TMX has a very good compression ratio.
