To translate a file using Trados Workbench:

  1. Download the files
  2. Translate the files
  3. Upload the files

Downloading the Files

Download the files for translation by downloading the translation kit.

Set the Format that corresponds to your version of SDL Trados when downloading the translation kit.

The recommended download options are:

Version Download Options
SDL Trados 2007 and earlier Optimized bilingual Trados RTF, Trados 7 TTX
SDL Trados 2009/2011/2014 XLIFF, RTF (List view), TTX

Earlier versions of Trados Workbench are not compliant with the later TMX standards. Starting with Trados 2007, there is better TMX/in-line support.

Unzip the files from the translation kit to your computer.

Translating the Files

You can then translate the files in Trados Workbench.

Make sure not to split segments when translating, since segmentation differs in Trados.

To translate the files:

  1. Open Trados Workbench

    • Segments that have No Match show with the source text
    • Segments that have a Fuzzy Match show with a fuzzy match
    • Segments that have an exact match are listed as “DO NOT TRANSLATE OR MODIFY”, alongside the target text
  7. Click Open and Get in the segment to translate
