Good morning, and Happy Father's Day (at least in N. America! but I extend my best wishes to all fathers, wherever you are:-))

Good morning, and Happy Father's Day (at least in N. America! but I extend my best wishes to all fathers, wherever you are:-))

Here it is: I open the largish document as sent by my client. It's been pre-translated (we've been on similar texts for well over a year). Fine. Lots of XU segments, fine. But there is no way to open the next untranslated segment - no command is available to me in WB. Even if I manually scroll down to the first untranslated segment and click the cursor there, I still don't have access to my WB commands - they are greyed out. Using keystrokes (ctrl-alt-home, etc) does nothing.

Any ideas on how to get this document translated in time for my deadline ?(tomorrow morning UK time... yikes!)

TIA

- Try Tools - Connect to Workbench.

- If necessary, check if the languages/locales match (to check the languages set in the TTX file, open it in a text editor and search for "SourceLanguage" - you'll see the codes for source and target language. These need to match the TM settings <

Thanks Ralf! Jun 20, 2004

Helpful as always.
It was, quite simply, the connection to WB.
I'll know next time!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
Nancy
