I've watched the videos and read the articles but am still thoroughly confused as to what exactly I should be delivering when sent a clean doc or docx file for translation in Studio 2014. I have sdllegit and have managed to translate the files but don't know what file I should be returning.

So far what I have done is open SDLlegit and converted the file into a bilingual doc file.

Thanks Mar 10, 2015

strange I tried that out last night and this morning and it constantly said failed to convert but now the test process I went to worked - which is of course the main thing.

Thank you for that, it was probably the time pressure that caught me out somewhere.
