Hi everyone and sorry for the offtopic.
One of my translators candidely decided to translate a huge file using Virtaal and now she's not able to export the file in target format (.docx) nor to provide me with a tmx.
I have been going through forums and websites, and I have checked the virtaal help pages to find a solution yet nothing popped out.
This forum seems the closest to my issue.
Maybe any of you Virtaal users can help me to get .docx file from the .xliff the translator sent me?
Unfortunately Trados 2011 and 2014 seem to be able to open the xliff and my client is expecting the delivery within few days.
Please let me know if there is a solution!!!
Thanks a lot [/quote]
This is not even remotely related to the topic of TMLookup... it would have been a better fit for a Virtaal forum/thread or a new thread of its own.
Anyway, if you have exhausted Virtaal's support/troubleshooting options and there is really no hope of generating a target file from Virtaal, you should convert that xliff into a bilingual format that Studio can handle (tabbed txt or tmx), import it into Studio as a TM, and translate the original docx with that TM. The last step will probably require some fiddling and possibly the retranslation of some segments but it shouldn't be too bad. If you post the xliff here I will have a look at it.
You should also try to import the xliff into any other CAT tool you have access to. If you can import it, export a tmx and you're in business. Xbench could also work for converting the xliff into some manageable format. If studio failed to import it the file might be corrupted but you gave no info on what happened so I'm shooting in the dark.
