Thanks for bearing this in mind in the future. Best regards, Ralf | | | MDB - Microsoft DataBase? | Oct 18, 2007 |
MDB could be a Microsoft (Access) DataBase. This Database format cannot be process with TRADOS. Additional engineering steps are necessary, e.g. it could be possible to copy & paste the table(s) from Access to Excel, translate the excel sheet in TagEditor and copy back to Access after translation. It is also possible to export tables to xml with Access, translate the xml in TagEditor and import the translated xml back into the MDB. The second option is more...

The second option is more secure and professional but requires more knowledge and engineering efforts. Kind regards, Stefan Gentz ▲ Collapse | | | That's the TM | Oct 19, 2007 |
Hi Ode, The mdb file is the Translation Memory. To open it from within SDL Edit click Translation Memory > Open... and select the mdb file. Hope this helps. Best regards, Claudia | |

SDLX is not quite like Trados, I found out taking the Trados training which I thought would be an SDL X training. That is why I did not choose the Trados forum. But thank you for reposting it.

There is no longer an isolated Trados forum - the SDL Trados Support forum is designed to cater for SDLX and Trados tools. This reflects the convergence of the SDL and Trados 'worlds', and is also designed to facilitate coverage by SDL Trados support staff. Best regards, Ralf | | | Maybe a rename would be in order? | Oct 19, 2007 |

Best regards, Ralf In that case, wouldn't it make sense to rename the forum to something like "SDLX & Trados Support"? B | |

Hi Benjamin, We're going off-topic here, so if you feel more discussion is needed, please post a new topic. In that case, wouldn't it make sense to rename the forum to something like "SDLX & Trados Support"? We deliberately chose "SDL Trados", as this is the overall name used for the product suite. I agree that the sub-title of the forum needs changing, though. Best regards, Ralf PS Forum sub-title edited.
