Can you please talk me through the process?
You export to bilingual review using these built in features?

When doing so, was there content on the target side within your SDLXLIFF file or was the target side empty?

There are restrictions when using this external review method and from past experience either:

• There was nothing to review because no translations existed within Trados Studio before the export took place
• The structure of the MS document were the review took place, was too invasive and the reviewed document no longer represents the document in Studio.

Looking forward to your clarifications

What you need is to perform the batch task "Update from bilingual review". It is self explaining. Just point Studio to the revised file stored on your HDD. The best idea would be to overwrite the exported file from Studio with the revised one.

Hello Jerzy, 

I have done that I think, but the translations are empty when I load them back in trados

And you are sure that before you started the process of export for bilingual review - there where translations applied on the target side within the SDLXLIFF?

If you perform the export for bilingual review and you then open the MS document (that you presumable share with someone for review) - is the original translation (as seen in SDLXLIFF) missing also?

There are only two possibilities for this happening:

• You exported an UNTRANSLATED document and no one added the translation afterwards in Word
• Someone has emptied the translation column in Word

Tell us why you did export the file into bilingual Word? Did you want someone to translate the content without having Trados? This process does not work that way.

Hello,

I have a large database with EN and several local languages and I do not have the professional version.

I would put the EN into it and do a fake translation and do a review and put then the correct translations in and so I can load them in my existing TM

A bit complex but it is a the only way I see to do this.

I have seen now that it is due to the copy paste from Excel to the Word document.

Thank you for your help.
