Workaround, if you have AI Nov 26, 2007

then use T-Window for Clipboard.
It is quite intensive workload, I admit, but nevertheless you can translate any editable text with it.

Try svg Nov 26, 2007

You might try exporting to svg (which is supported directly by TagEditor). Naturally, first translate a small sample, import it to Illustrator and see how does it look.

Sysfilter Nov 26, 2007

I've been using "Sysfilter for Illustrator" for several years
It's expensive but it's a great help for some jobs.

SVG or sysfilter is the question now... Nov 27, 2007

Hi thank you for the valuable tips. I have downloaded SVG and shall try. Since it is a freeware, it automatically gets priority, but I am also trying the sysflter. I have just now requested for a trial. I shall keep you posted on this further. Best regards, Brandis

Hi Brandis,

SVG = scalable vector graphics Nov 27, 2007

Actually, I meant the format (what you are referring to is probably an SVG editor).

Just save your AI graphic as .svg file, import it in Tag Editor, translate, export from TE and open back in Illustrator.

As I said before, the results might not be optimal, it may be different for different graphics.

After the installation it starts for a moment and gets out. Sysfilter I could ascertain from my old database, it is still the best sofar. Thank you all for the attention . Best regards, Brandis

After installation of what? You should be able to save to SVG from within AI. Therefore you need two pieces of software for this: Adobe Illustrator and Trados.

Now I cannot afford to lose any more time on this and hence implementing the ECM Plug-in. Once the project is over I shall certainly try SVG again. Thank you all the same Best regards, Brandis

solved... Nov 29, 2007

the ECM-Plug-in solution was it. I have just now completed the book upgrading from illustrator 10 to 11 cs2 format. But I do not get enough of these projects to buy the ECM variant. It is very expensive. Brandis

Just for example I publish below my ini file contents for Trados 2007
To use it you can make empty text file, open it in plain-text editor (I use AkelPad), then paste the contents of my ini (below) and save in Unicode encoding (UTF-16 LE). Then change the extension to *.ini and you can add it to your Tag Settings in Trados 2007.

I have investigated quite a lot, have also read the last comment in this conversation form MIkem2012, but its gets too technical for me. Sind this conversation has stared some years ago maybe inbetween somebody has an easier solution? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks Yte ▲ Collapse
