I got a package in SDL Trados 2014 and translated the 15k words on in SDL Trados 2014. I have Win 10 and Office 365. Some incompatibility prevented me from executing tasks like... proofreading! So, I exported the files for proofreading on memoQ 9. The language pair is English US to Spanish Latin America (memoQ calls its Spanish Latin America "deprecated").

So, I exported the files for proofreading on memoQ 9. The language pair is English US to Spanish Latin America (memoQ calls its Spanish Latin America "deprecated").
The sdlxliff files proofread and exported from memoQ are not recognized by SDL 2014. It treats them as "Reference" instead of translatable files. If this is caused by the language pair definition, how can I change this definition on sdlxliff files already translated? Or, any ideas on how to make SDL 2014 usable with Office 365/Win 10? Please, help! ▲ Collapse

Have you tried changing the format name of the file? Try renaming the .sdlxliff files exported from memoQ to .xlf
Otherwise, try opening the file in Notepad++ and make sure you change the language definition to the same locale.

¡I hope this helps!

Hi Laura,

Thank you so much. I was going to go into the massive editing of each (30 in total) sdlxliff files. But, after a long break, I opened the folder containing the exported files from MQ. They already had the sdlxliff extension and SDL logo, I clicked right and tried opening one with SDL. It simply opened the SDL CAT and from there it was a breeze, as they say. Somehow I knew all along my problem was either "impossible" or plainly stupid. Yes, it was not impossible. I apprecia... See more
Hi Laura,

As a general rule, most participants are better prepared than me!

Best! ▲ Collapse
