Hi experts,

I have Trados Studio 2015. I received a package which contained 4 files. Instead of translating it as a package, I translated each and every file separately. The Language Preference setting for package was English (United Kingdom) - Hindi (India) whereas I translated the files by using English (US) - Hindi (India) (Any TM - any file based TM). When I sent the files along with the TM to client, he says that the TM is not working.

Could you please help me in sorting out the problem by telling the step by step procedure?

Thanks and regards,

Chopra

Update it Jun 26

You can try updating TM in your Studio and re-send it:

Right click on your translated file - Batch Tasks - Update Main Translation Memories
Right click on your translated file - Batch Tasks - Update Project Translation Memories

Do the same for the other three files.

Create empty TM first Jun 27

Hi Chopra,

you might have to create a new TM with the desired language settings before following Frank's advice, so you would import the translated files into that new TM.

Thanks for your reply, but... Jun 27

I sincerely thank you for suggesting a solution.

Since I needed an advice urgently, I posted this issue at another forum, and someone suggested as follows:

(1) Create a new TM - English (United Kingdom) - Hindi (India) - language pairs
(2) Select this TM. Then, Import all 4 bilingual files (SDLXLIFF files) into this TM.
(3) Send the 4 bilingual files (SDLXLIFF files) and your new TM.

And it worked.

Do you mean that I should right click at my unopened sdlxliff file? When I do so, I don't find any option named as Batch Tasks in menu. However, I can find it when the file is opened. I would appreciate if you could explain it.

Thanks and regards,

Chopra

Thanks for your advice Jun 30

I now understand that I should right click on file after going to Projects.

Thanks and regards,

Easy fix Jun 30

Open your TM in notepad THEN search and replace US (whole word respect capitals) and replace with GB throughout TM. Save and close - TM will work perfectly - good luck!
