Hi all,

I have some files to translate. The formats are TBL, EMF and P65.
I have been told that they can be translated using MS Publisher, but when I open the files, funny things appear sometimes. And if I translate something, when I save it I lose the original format.

Help!

P65 is the extension for files edited in Adobe PageMaker 6.5. TBL is probably imports file for PM and EMF are graphics files.

Considering that DTP software is quite complex, it is understandable that Publisher cannot produce exactly the same output. While it is possible to translate texts from PageMaker without the software itself (e.g. with Trados), as far as I know this require preparation in advance and post-editing after translation.
