Bilingual Import

Bilingual Import is used for importing the translated or edited bilingual exported Word document. During this import you must add both the edited bilingual Word document and the corresponding TXLF file that was used during export. Once the bilingual import is complete, the translations or edits made in the bilingual exported Word document are reflected in the TXLF file.

To complete bilingual import of files:

Select Quick Tools from the Wordfast 4 drop-down menu.
Click the Bilingual Import tab.

To add files, do one of the following:

Click Add File to browse and select a file from a folder. To add multiple files, press the Ctrl key and select the files.
Click Add Folder to browse and select a folder and add all files within.
Drag and drop files into the Bilingual Files and TXLF Files panels.

Note:

You must upload both the translated or edited bilingual Word document and the source TXLF file. When adding files, remember to select the correct file format from the drop-down list. You must select MS Word Document when uploading the bilingual Word document and WF TXLF Document when uploading the TXLF file.

The files appear in the Bilingual and TXLF Files panels.

Note:

The Bilingual Files panel displays the File Name, File Type, Size and Counter. The first number in the Counter indicates the count of TXLF files in the bilingual file that are paired with the added files in the TXLF Files panel. The second number indicates the total count of TXLF files that were used during Bilingual Export.
The TXLF Files panel displays the File Name, Source Language, Target Language, Size and Paired. When the bilingual Word document and the corresponding TXLF file are paired, a green check appears. If the files are not paired, a red cross appears.
