Specifying batch settings: Export for Bilingual Review
For reviewers who do not have Trados Studio installed, you can export the *.sdlxliff file to a bilingual review file format (*.review.docx) which can be opened in Microsoft Word. The reviewed file can then be imported back into Trados Studio and the *.sdlxliff updated with edits, tracked changes, reviewed statuses and comments.
About this task
The bilingual review file contains all the information from the *.sdlxliff project file apart from comments that are file-based (segment-based and selected-text comments are still included).
Procedure
- Go to .
- In the Options dialog, select .
- In the Location box on the right, modify where you want the exported files to be located. By default, they are exported to an External Review folder within the project folder structure. This folder contains separate subfolders for each target language.
- Select how the translated content will appear in the exported file:
- In the Layout type box, select side-by-side to view your source and target segments side-by-side or select top-down to view source segments above their corresponding target segments.
- In the Segment Match Highlighting Colors section, modify the colors used to indicate the different type of matches from the translation memory (TM).
- Select Finish.
- When the wizard is finished generating the files, select Close.
- A prompt is displayed asking if you want to open the folder containing the exported files. Select Yes. The External Review folder is opened and the files (
*.review.docx) are located within the target language subfolders. - Send the files to the external reviewer using an agreed-upon method, for example, by email or by placing the files on a FTP site.
