Dear All
I need to translate a couple of huge files (with screenshots, etc) and I know using Trados would imply the usual problems (application not answering).
I was considering the possibility of switching to an SDLX demo version I downloaded from the internet for a similar job.

Dear Sabina,
I've been working with SDLX for a couple of years, and usually it is not a problem to export the TM into .txt file.
You are likely to face more trouble with the uncleaned file for delivery though - this is something SDLX can't do (as far as I know, at least). The only possible workaround I may suggest is to translate the file with SDLX, then export the TM into a .txt file, then import it into Trados and apply this Tm over an original rtf file.

Not sure whether it's worth the effort though...
And besides, I hope you are aware of the fact that the demo copy of SDLX is only functional for 30 days - after that it only allows files of up to 1000 words... ▲ Collapse

Hi Sabina,
You can ever use TagEditor - yes, it imports MSWord files or:
- pretranslated files in TWB - and then import them into SDLX. This is how uncleaned files can be delivered by SDLX.
In TWB: Options -> Translate
tick:
Segment unknown sentences
Don't (update TM / translate terms)
Then open SDLX Edit, click on new, set

Then open SDLX Edit, click on new, set
Trados style default
set languages and TM, select the file and let Edit import the file.
Once you are finished with the translation in SDLX Edit, click on the dropdown on File and on Create translation You are told where the file was created.
You'll have a Trados-like uncleaned file.
For the TM: open Maintain, open the TM, click on the dropdown File and on Export then on Trados
That will be a *.txt file 100% compatible with TWB import.
I am sure, I have been doing this for years.
