  • Hello Sabine,

    Thank you for your question! Translating Word fields, such as internal hyperlinks, in Trados Studio can sometimes be tricky, but there are alternative approaches you can try if the standard method doesn't work for you. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

    ### Step 1: Check the Word File Type Settings in Trados Studio

    1. Open Trados Studio and go to **File > Options > File Types**.

    2. Select the **Microsoft Word** file type that corresponds to your document version (e.g., DOCX).

    3. Under the **Common** or **Embedded Content** settings, ensure that the option to process fields or hyperlinks is enabled. This ensures that Trados Studio recognizes and extracts the content for translation.

    ### Step 2: Extract Hyperlink Text for Translation

    1. If the hyperlinks are not appearing as translatable text in Trados Studio, you can manually extract the hyperlink text in Word:

      - Open the Word document.

      - Right-click on the hyperlink and select **Edit Hyperlink** to view the text and URL.

      - Copy the hyperlink text into the main body of the document or a separate section for translation.

    ### Step 3: Translate in
