Wordfast 4.9 and sdlxliff files Translated segments appear untranslated in Studio Thread poster: Lucia Messuti
|
|---|
Hello
I'm using WF4 to translate (pretranslated) sdlxliff files. The issue is that when my client receives the files they appear untranslated.
How can I manage this? or what can I tell them ? They say they cannot update their TM.
Thanks
Lucia

| Save file as translated | Dec 13, 2016 |
Hello,
Did you save file as translated at the end (under the file menu)?
Make sure tags are replicated and in the right spot.
Kind regards,
John

TOPIC STARTER | Saved as a sdlxliff file | Dec 13, 2016 |
I do "Save file as translated" and it is saved as an sdlxliff file with the language extention before the format (sdlxliff). But the file is received with translated segments appearing as not translated whn opened in Studio.

Hi Lucia,
It might be best to contact support and send them the file so they can look at it. You can also open the SDLXLIFF file with a text editor and see if your translations are in there.
Kind regards,
John

TOPIC STARTER | Translations are in and done but... | Dec 13, 2016 |
Translations are in and done but when they are opened in Studio the segments appear translated but they don't appear committed, i.e. no green tick at the left of the segment.
Maybe I was not clear in my previous question

This is normal (I think). In WF terms, a committed segment has been saved to the TM. Since you translated on your machine, they wouldn't be saved to your client's TM (only yours). Your client needs to use a batch function on SDL Trados to commit all to TM and generate the target file.
Kind regards,
John

... and then "save translated file" again.
It happens sometimes that SDL doesn't recognize the same status that XLF was exported in WFP.

TOPIC STARTER | I'll try this solution | Dec 16, 2016 |
I usually "save file as translated" and I can save it as sdlxliff file.
But if I open it in Studio I get a blank score, I mean there is no "green tick" at the left of each segment and it doesn't appear to be committed. I'm not sure, but it seems the client has issues committing the translation into their TM. Or maybe, it's only a matter of time.
Which is the difference between "commit all" and "confirm all" ?
Thanks
Lucia

| Somebody else can explain that better to you, but.... | Dec 17, 2016 |
... "segment confirmed" means the segment is marked as translated, just as a reference and also to amount to the progress of your translation, e.g. 60% of file translated etc.
"segment committed" means the segment is being saved in the actual TM you are using.
For any other tool to be able to work with your in WFP translated file, some parameters must be fulfilled, like "all segments confirmed (as translated)", no tags missing etc.

And how can I confirm a segment in WFP 4 ?

Somebody just told me that this is not existing anymore, there is only "commit" in WFP 4.
Try to mark as much as you can as "translated", "finished" etc. and run "transcheck" to see if any tags are missing.
I hope I could help in this jungle of tools, tags, features and files (with the busiest support in the universe!!!!)

TOPIC STARTER | Only "translated" can be done | Dec 20, 2016 |
I usually confirm segments (ALT + DOWNARROW). And I save the file "save file as translated", i.e. sdlxliff.
They will have to confirm segments to get their TM updated as well.
WF4 is good, but I still have some problems, such as the accented uppercase letters and the slow spellchecker.
Let's see what happens with the new version .10.

| Accented uppercase letters | Dec 20, 2016 |
Hi Lucia,
What you do with Alt+Down is commit segments to TM and leverage next segment. Every segment by default is confirmed, you unconfirm a segment so it doesn't get written to TM during Alt+Down acton.
Can you elaborate on the issues you are facing with uppercase accented letters with steps to reproduce?
Thank you,
John

Hi Lucia,
I just want to let you know that we have a ticket to make an improvement to the SDLXLIFF filter. When documents are translated, you will have the option to set their segment status to translated. This has already been implemented in WFP3, see here: http://www.screencast.com/t/trQnj1tD
I will post here once this improvement has been implemented in WFP4.

TOPIC STARTER | Sdlxliff segments confirmed in WF4 | Jan 20, 2017 |
Hello
any news about the segment confirmation?
My client still asks me to send the xliff files with confirmed segments (they say they have issues on their part) and I don't know how to do.
