Translate Latex documents in Studio? Sure!

Hi,

I am doing a translation of a large document (40k words) and using SDL Trados 2021 to do it. I have both a .tex file and a .docx file.

My big question is whether I should do the translation in Word first (MUCH easier and will take a lot less time) and then convert it to LaTex or use the .tex file (which I have never done in Trados or ever and will take forever because of the thousands of strange characters) and then "repair" it or have it "repaired/formatted" when it is finished.

I can't figure out what is the best option.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Kevin

Thank you for this, Richard. I am going to test it out. I just had one thing that wouldn't work in the setup. Trados 2021 would not accept these three opening patterns:

\\newstep{ } True

\\note $ True

\\newcommand{\\[a-zA-Z]{0,}}{ } True

"This regular expression is incorrect. Line break characters are not supported in opening pattern."

Is this going to be a problem?

All the best!

Kevin
