As I tend to use Deja Vu more often than Trados I had to make sure somehow that Trados files can be properly imported to DVX. Following
Atril's instructions did not get me very far as translation units with
<}0{> Trados codes (No Match) were not imported. Luckily, I did find a site which shed light to this any many other Trados-DVX compatibility problems I have been encountering....
Editing Trados files in Déjà VuTo edit Trados files in Deja Vu it is necessary to change Trados' codes (
<}0{> ). When importing your file into Deja Vu,
0 means "No Match" Target text will not be imported into Deja Vu.
1-99 means "Fuzzy Match" Target text will be imported into Deja Vu as Magenta
100 means "Full Match" Target text will be imported into Deja Vu as Green
I recommend to replace 0 codes with something >0. I generally replace them with 1.
Once this is done, create a Trados project, import files, and work normally. Export finished edited file normally. Sometimes there are some formatting problems in the target language check the final document carefully.
