How do you get ttx files *out* of Wordfast Pro

Experimenting with WF Pro here and struggling with ttx files.

There's plenty of info saying how to pre-segment ttx files and do them in WF, and that works fine.

But how do you get a ttx file back at the end? The only option I have is a Word file.

Can anybody please explain?

...should deliver a ttx-file, if you started out with one. Only the language identifier is added to the name.

Dear Chris,

As Heinrich said, if your client sends you a TTX file, all what they expect from you is to send them back a "bilingual TTX" which you can get by opening WFP "File" menu and selecting "Save Translated File". Later, your client can get the target Word document from the TTX using Trados/TagEditor.

As a reminder, here are the steps of working on TTX files: http://www.wordfast.net/?kb=138-35

Thanks guys. I did see that article - I just cocked up and opened the Word file not the ttx file...

BUT.... Now it says there are no translatable segments in the ttx file!

Dear Chris,

Apparently, this TTX file is not segmented. Please ask your client to pre-translate it in Trados even against an empty TM and send you the *segmented* TTX file to be able to open and translate in WFP 2.3.

To do so, they need to open Trados Workbench > Tools > Translate > Add (to select the TTX file) > (check) Segment unknown sentences > Translate.

Thanks Oct 24, 2011

Have now got it to work!

It's been such a complicated process creating dummy memories and dummy files to experiment with that I made a few mistakes along the way.

I still can't find how to see differences in fuzzy matches though...
