I've downloaded TTXpress and converted ttx.
files into rtf.
I'd like to translate these rtf files using WordFast. But WordFast attempts to translate tags. Could anyone help me please ? Maybe someone faced the same problem and found a way out.

Delete all tags Feb 17, 2007

You may delete all tags in the RTF file, then translate them using WF. But it can not be converted back into TTX file.I remember that all tags are in "Courier New"font, you may search and delete all characters in "Courier New"font in MS WORD.

Your client may create a TM from the uncleaned word file. Then using the TM to translate the TTX file.

The thing is that I need RTF files converted back into TTX files.
Any more variants?

Maybe a Trados demo version is enough Feb 17, 2007

I just search the Proz forum, and found this. Maybe it is helpful.

But I think if the ttx file is not too long, you may use a demo version of trados , and translate the ttx file directly in the trados. ▲ Collapse

Have you marked the tags with tw4winExternal? Feb 18, 2007

It's been a while since I used TTXpress, but it sounds to me like the RTF created by TTXpress doesn't have tw4win styles in it. You would need to mark the tags as tw4winExternal or tw4winInternal before starting the translation with Wordfast. See the appendixes of the Wordfast manual about how to do that (a quick read of the Tortoise Tagger user manual might also be enlightening).

Those red tags are internal tags and part of the sentence Feb 18, 2007

Hi, Vadzim,

Those red tags are "internal tags". You have to place them in the right position in your sentence (which might not be the same as English).

It is a normal situation when translating this type of files.

I don't have the Wordfast manual at hand but have a look at it. I'm sure there is a clear explanation about internal tags.

Daniel
