Hi I'm translating an excel file with TagEditor. My Trados version is Trados 6.5.5 Freelance.
For some strange reason, the concordance, the open/get and the set/close features in the TagEditor do not work. As if they were not on. It is a nuisance, because most of the text i´m translating has been done before (by myself). The workbench seems to work, since it shows the matching segment translated in previos occasions.

It is a nuisance, because most of the text i´m translating has been done before (by myself). The workbench seems to work, since it shows the matching segment translated in previos occasions. But since the features mentioned above do not seem to be "on", I can´t get the segments already translated (most of them between 95 and 100% match).
Any clues as what could be happening here?
Thanks very much for your help.
Best regards

but close all Trados aplications and restart them - this usually helps. If not, restart the system.
Should this not help, try to register your Trados applications using the "Register Trados ..." item from menu Start - Programms - Trados - ...

Thanks for your reply. Nothing has changed. However, when I open the document from TagEditor, I now get a message that says:
The open translation memory has different languages than the document.
Interaction with translator's workbench will be disabled until a matching translation memory is opened.
This is message. Now, I do not think that is the case. All I can see in the document is that the first few words are in French and German. The rest, however, is all in ...

The TM I am using is the same one I have been using fore the last month with other documents for the same clinet.... Don´t understand.
am I helping you to help me? hoe can we alter the languages of the document so that they match the languages of the TM?
Thanks a lot once again

| To change the language in your document open it with Notepad | Aug 3, 2006 |
First, you need to know the exact language codes for your source and target language, as defined n your TM.
For example English Great Britain will be EN-UK, English USA will be EN-US and so on.
Than start Notepad and open your TTX file in it (either via open menu - change the file type to "all files" - or by drag&drop).
Search for a strong looking similar to this: SourceLanguage="DE-DE" TargetLanguage="EN-GB" and change the language codes accordingly to the codes in your TM.... See more First, you need to know the exact language codes for your source and target language, as defined n your TM.

Save the file in Notepad.
Reopen it in Tageditor - this should do the trick.

PS
If you do not know the codes in your TM, go to menu "File", export your TM to text and open it with Notepad. Than scroll down until you pass the "rtf preamble". Now you can see the language codes. To get this faster use the search function of Notepad and search for CrD or CrU - this will bring you to the first segment.

You may have TM in EN_US (I'd assume) and the file in question is (for instance) in EN_UK.
Check the flags (g) in TagEditor.

Do not use "underliner" in language codes (EN_US), but a simple dash (EN-US). Trados does not use underliner.
