Trying to translate a single document which is a Word document containing a table

Marie Jacquet

Dear all,

This morning, I have been given a table which is inside a Word document (here attached).

I do Open, Translate a single document, I choose my file from my PC, then I select my target language (French), and then nothing happens.

I have no view at all on possible Language cloud machine translation, or MT, and I can not click on OK either.

Could you please help me today, this would be very helpful, as I have to do this task urgently.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Hi 

    I can open this Word document via Open > Translate single document etc but though an SDLXLIFF opened in the Editor window, it contained no text.

    The reason this 'table' will not appear as text in a translation SDLXLIFF file is because it is a flat image, it has no accessible text.

    I tried saving it from Word as PDF in the hope that Studio would then be able to 'see' the image as text but it did not produce any text either.

    Opening the created PDF with proper OCR software may produce a translatable text. I'm sure there is software out there that would convert the image to text also.

    Alternatively, as it's not a huge document, I suggest you quickly create the table yourself in Word then translate that.

    All the best
