See more Hello, I am using XTM for the first time with a big project. Although it works fine so far, I have a real issue with the target file. The client sent me the original word file divided into two columns: one for the ST and the other for TT. He wants the final layout the same. When I tried to export the final file after I finished translation with XTM, I had one of two options: - either to export an excel file that has both ST and TT but the text is divided by sentense inside this table, not prapagrah. - A word file that place my target copy (Arabic) on the left handside of the table and where the English text can occasionally comes in the middle of the Arabic copy is reversed in a way I can't fix it manually. any idea how to deal with this situation? Thanks guys for help. ▲ Collapse | | |
Reverse wrting | May 31, 2016 |
Try puting the English text in parantheses (you can take them off later, after your text appears in the correct direction). You may need to also change the direction of writing in the tool bar temporarily for the particular English words - and change it again for the Arabic. This manual is technique is tedious and only works in tables though, but it resolves the problem. Kind Regards M. | | |
