Using Save Target As in TagEditor with excel files Thread poster: david angel (X)

Tag Editor in Trados 6.5 Excel 2000 Windows 98 SE Hi. Last night, I tried using TagEditor for the first time with a very simple Excel file. After translating, I tried using Save Target As, but the resulting Excel file, although containing some translated text after the = sign, was otherwise empty - or appeared to be. Maybe I am just not very experienced with Excel files, or its a problem with TagEditor. Can anyone help? I would be very grateful. David Angel. | | |
Oups, sorrry :-/

Hi David, I had a similar problem once, and the "equal" sign was the troublemaker. Your Excel file should have no cell beginning with =, as TagEditor interprets this to be a formula and can not handle this. To avoid any problem, before converting/translating your file, replace any = sign with another sign you can well remind of (e.g. a $ or *), then translate your file normally and save it as target. And don't forget to replace back the $ or * with = ... See more Hi David, I had a similar problem once, and the "equal" sign was the troublemaker.

Thanks for the help. Maybe I should be more specific. I don't see any = sign in the original text, except as the Edit Formula Button at the top of the Excel sheet. I assume I can't change that. When I save the file in Tag Editor with Save Traget As the resulting file contains nothing except a line of target language text after the = sign (ie Edit Formula Button.) I may be just dumb or (more likely) inexperienced with both Excel and Tag! | | | Ralf Lemster Germany Local time: 03:43 English to German + ... Moving the topic... | Apr 11, 2006 |
