Hi everybody,

I have 5 Illustrator CS5.1 files to translate, that I want to translate in SDL Trados 2011. Trados is telling me the files are not compatible. How would you proceed?
Regards,
Olivier

Hi,

As far as I know no CAT Tools handle graphic software, so there are not many options, the 2 I can think of are:

1) Convert your Illustrator files to pdf, Save As in Illustrator but then this would require converting the pdf to be able to handle it in a CAT tool

2) Download a trial version and translate directly in Illustrator.

Cheers,

Bernard

Hi,

Try this link: http://www.translationzone.com/openexchange/app/sysfilterforadobeillustratorcs2-cc-455.html?c=45428#45428

but it's a paid plug-in.

Cheers,

Bernard

@Bernard,

I tried a trial version of the plugin but it just didn't work for me. The plugin kept crashing.

I ended up using your second suggestion. I saved the Illustrator file as a pdf and memoQ that I used instead of Trados was able to process it. Then, from memoQ, I saved the target file as *.txt and was able to copy-paste each sentence in Illustrator.

Thank you for your help, Bernard.
