Hello Dear Experts,

I work for a client who usually sends me a Word file with the ST included. He insists that the delivery be a bilingual file of the same file format. I use Trados Freelance edition 2014 which enables me product a clean target file. I am not professional with Trados yet. How can I create a bilingual file without doing that manually.

All the thread I could find talks about converting SDLXLIFF files into TMX, but even when I do that I am not sure to create the word file that I want.

P.S. the client does not want a TMX file and do not understand about TMs at all.
Thanks for your help. ▲ Collapse

Go to the Welcome tab in Studio, select SDL legit RH pane and convert your SDLXLIFF file to a bilingual Word file.

Cheers,

Bernard

conversion fails all the time Jun 14, 2014

Thanks Bernard for your advise. I followed it but I am always faced with the following error message

'Converting file to bilingual doc failed'. Do you have any idea what wrong did I do?
