If your WorldServer administrator has configured the bilingual .docx format as one of your system options, you can create .docx files for reviewers either from the user interface or through automatic actions.
From the user interface
On the Tasks page, select the source assets that you want to export and select Export on the ribbon. In the Create Translation Kit for Tasks dialog box, select the bilingual .docx format, and then select Export.
Through automatic actions
Use export and import automatic actions (AAs) inside a workflow to specify the bilingual .docxformat for a translation kit. When the workflow runs, WorldServer produces the review file at the appropriate step. When your reviewers are done, you give the file back to WorldServer in the import step.
Note the following about exporting and importing bilingual
.docx files:
| Exporting | Importing |
|---|
- For assets originally in .docx format, in WorldServer, configure your Microsoft Word file type to apply tracked changes before opening. Thus, you can see tracked changes in WorldServer when you work with the translated asset.
- The export process creates a bilingual .docx file whose filename consists of the WorldServer folder name and a long numerical identifier.
Note: You can only export assets to this format if they were segmented by regular file types. You cannot export assets segmented by legacy filters.

- The name of the file must be the same as when you exported it.
- The import will only change the existing target translations for the assets.
- A second import of the same file has no effect on the assets.
- Sub-segment comments are elevated to segment-level comments upon import, as is the case for any imported Studio kit.
- The status of updated segments becomes No Status.
- If segments with track changes are saved in translation memory, WorldServer removes the
REVISIONMARKER placeholders and the deleted strings. In other words, the TM segment is stored as if all track changes were accepted.
- If some segments contain tracked changes and if the original asset format is .docx, the target asset contains tracked changes. For any other asset format, tracked changes may result in illegible text.
