Export/import Jul 15, 2004

Hi "ghiatti",
Technically, inverting is simple (I take it you're aware of the linguistic issues):

- Export all translation units.
- Create a new database for the opposite language pair.
- Import the previously exported units.
- Reorganise the database.
- Done.

HTH, Ralf

Thanks Jul 15, 2004

It worked!! Thanks a lot.
I have another question for you!!
I have a very long translation and I have modified only 5% of it. Now a friend would like to double check only my 5% and not the whole translation. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks again for your help.
