I did a bilingual export and the document had several missing segments (even if the translation was all completed, saved and committed.

I then filled the missing information and proofread the whole thing.

Next, I did a bilingual import and nothing of the changes made were implemented...

What happened?

How to go about bilingual review export - import in Wordfast Pro Aug 15, 2022

In Wordfast Pro (now version 7.x) you can export and reimport a bilingual MS Word doc that can be edited and have your txlf be updated by its contents.

In Wordfast Pro (now version 7.x) you can export and reimport a bilingual MS Word doc that can be edited and have your txlf be updated by its contents. Since information online is scarce on the subject and some are having troubles with this method, I created a video explaining the process here: https://youtu.be/Oko-CdTNFIE

For it to work, there is a recipe to follow:
_Keep track of the original txlf (won’t work with another one)
_Keep track of the folders you are using (repeated operations in the same project will have you mistake the files you want to use/update)
_Make sure the editing done in the MS Word document adheres closely to the instructions given on the first page of the document
_Make sure you selected the right type of bilingual MS Word for your use case.

If you follow closely the steps in the video, it should work.
Hope this helps 😊 ▲ Collapse
