We are translating a document from German into Spanish. Segments look perfect, but when opening the TM .txt file, it changed all the characters with marks. For example:

Anhängevorrichtung for Anhängevorrichtung in the source segment.

durchführen for durchführen in the source.

ajustó for ajustó in the target

próximo for próximo in the target and so on.

We are translating a document from German into Spanish. Segments look perfect, but when opening the TM .txt file, it changed all the characters with marks. For example:

I repeat, the segments in the document itself look perfect. The problem is in the .txt file of the TM. Any clues on how to solve this?

Thanks a lot!

Unicode Oct 11, 2005

Trados 7 supports Unicode - that's what you see in the exported TM. You can also export the TM to the non-Unicode format for Trados 6.5 - just select the format you need in the Create Export File dialog box. (You have to use the old format to be able to import the TXT file to Trados 6.5 or older.)

I cant find nowhere in the Export File dialog box where to select the format. Can you help me?

Thanks,

Export format Oct 11, 2005

The format is defined in the "Save as type" list just below the file name. The options are: Translator's Workbench 7.x, Translator's Workbench 2.x-6.x and different versions of TMX.

The only option I get in the Save bilingual as option is Bilingual Document .ttx .bif.

No other options...

Thanks

Workbench Oct 11, 2005

Elinor,

You didn't mention TagEditor before, only the TM .txt file. What are you trying to do? I thought you wanted to export the TM to a .txt file and that should be done in Workbench (File - Export...).

Sorry, sorry, sorry. What I need is to export the TM and send the txt file to the project coordinator. I finally found where to save it as prior versions.

Thank you veeeeeeeeeeeery much for all your help, Hynek. I really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Elinor
