Hi,

I have to translate a big Microsoft Word file. When on the go I use Wordfast Anywhere. And at home I wish to continue working on the same file. (Trados 2011).

I have the sdltm and sdlproj files. And the glossary English/French as bilingual XLSX file.

But I can't upload the glossary in Wordfast Anywhere Error message:->"Uploaded glossary has no valid terms"

The xlsx file is ok, and other team translators don't have any problem with it.

Hi,

But I can't upload the glossary in Wordfast Anywhere Error message:->"Uploaded glossary has no valid terms"

The xlsx file is ok, and other team translators don't have any problem with it.

Also I can't translate the whole Word file. I only see the first portio of it in WF Anywhere.

Please explain to me how to make it wirk and how to save the file to use in SDL Trados 2011.

And then how to import the TM and same glossary back i Trados to continue working on the translation seamlessly (back and forth from WF Anywhere and Trados 2011).

Regards,

Just save the file to Trados compatible form while closing the project WF anywhere that way you will be able to open that file in Trados Studio.
Hope this information works for you.

Still problem.. Apr 13, 2016

Hi,

Thanks but that's not enough. I need to upload the glossary on Wordfast Anywhere using a web connection. As I said it failed (format XLSX). And also I only see the first part of my English Word fil in WF Anywhere, so I don't know how to translate the other parts...

I use Mozilla Firefox.
