You mean Import TMX and Export to TMX? On the Resources tab?

TMX files are Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) files from tools such as Trados and memoQ. That's not what I want to do. I want to combine two Lingo translation memories.

And I'd also like to be able to go through them manually and ...

Is it possible to combine two translation memory files (*.db)? I can't find it documented anywhere....
Thanks.

Thank you very much, you guys.

We solved the problem with XHTML.css by deleting the Analyzer folder, as you suggested.

We discovered (following your clue) that the exact same CHM file was rendered differently on different machines. Because of this, we changed our *real* style sheet to make the ...

When you say 'they are somehow referencing' the file XHTML.css, what specifically do you mean by that - where did you find the link to that file in the built output?

Sorry I was unclear. We spotted it when we ran Analyzer on the project. I think it was in the "Undefined Styles" list. There were ...

On my colleague's PC, all CHM output has negative-indented numbered lists. You can't see the second digit of the numbers if there are more than 9 steps. (I know, procedures shouldn't have more than 7 steps....)

If I open the exact same projects on my PC, everything looks normal, as formatted by ...

When I change a translation, the original translation is often left in a TM called "Xliff Alternate". (I can see this in the lower pane.) And sometimes not.

Why the difference?

What is the function of this TM?

Why can I not find any info about this in the online help? (Rhetorical question, sorry ...

I'm looking for a lightning-fast way to change the status of a file from In Progress to Completed. A keyboard shortcut is what I'm looking for, I think.

By the way, I discovered a better way to position the tags than dragging and dropping: Just place your cursor where you want them to be, and press Ctrl+N to copy the next tag to the target. This way you avoid that pesky incorrect spacing.

Another way, of course, is to manually delete the space ...

Hi ChoccieMuffin, this is probably the wrong sub-forum to post our question on. But I found this in the Flare general discussion:
http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8633&p=49235&hilit=togglers+dropdowns#p49235

But I'd still like to know how to format the toggler hotspot, though ...

Found the problem, thanks to your posts!

The toggler was in a <div> tag that had some styles applied.

Since we're on the subject, I find that togglers and dropdowns act very similarly. In our output, the only difference seems to be that the togglers have no underline. The dropdowns have an ...

1. Change a translation.
2. Press return.
3. Click the string again.
In some cases, the new translation appears in the bottom pane along with the old one, and I can delete the old one.
In other cases, only the new translation appears in the bottom pane.
I can't figure out the reason for this. Both ...

Thank you very much for the quick reply!

If that's true, then why is the paragraph formatting different in the dropdown text than in the rest of the topic?

Thanks.

I've noticed in our compiled HTML Help that paragraphs within dropdowns created using togglers have less spacing before/after than paragraphs within the non-toggler body of a topic.

I'm looking for a way to edit the CSS so that the toggler body uses the same formatting as the regular text. And I'd ...

When I use Lingo to edit a translation, pressing the spacebar inserts TWO spaces about 60% of the time. Then I have to go back and remove these spaces. Very annoying.

Lingo is the ONLY application on my PC where this happens, so I can't imagine this could be a problem with my computer or keyboard ...

I don't suppose OP is still wondering the answer, but for the next user who's wondering:
I asked Support and I got the below reply. As far as I'm concerned, this is NOT an acceptable workflow. We send our translations out for review. When the reviews come back, how are we to integrate those changes ...

Hi, I am unable to use Windows Explorer to delete (actually send to Recycler) a Flare project without first deleting every single subdirectory first, starting at the level furthest out. I get an error message: "Folder Access Denied. You need permission to perform this action. You require permission ...

Hi, in RoboHelp they're not inserted in any particular position; they're just associated with the topic. But regardless -- what I am looking for is a Flare function or script or something that would allow me to combine all of the keywords into one tag. Thanks.

Thanks Nita. However, those split-up lists of keywords are not usually consecutive. They're spread out in seemingly random places in the help topics.

After import from RoboHelp, most of the topics have the keywords split up into multiple <MadCap:keyword> tags. Is there any way to combine all of a topic's keywords into a single tag, without doing it manually? Thanks!

We are having exactly this problem -- our help topics are full of useful author comments that are tagged as hidden and therefore not included in the output. In order to exclude these from the Lingo translation bundle it looks like we'd have to delete these from the source project -- which just isn't ...

Hi, I am new to Flare (coming from RoboHelp) but we implemented our own solution that opens a specific topic in other CHM file in its own window.
And after converting to Flare, the solution still works!
This is basically it:
1. We include a JS file that contains the needed function in our project ...

I know this topic is years old, but it describes exactly what I'm trying to do -- find one topic (by title in the Content Explorer) among MANY that are divided among many folders and sub-folders.

And only about half of the topics are in the TOC, so searching the TOC for the title is not an option ...

I have discovered that if a snippet contains a link, then the topics which contain the snippet will result in this error message -- even though the linked topic is in the correct place from the snippet's point of view.

So in this case it seems we can ignore the error message.

In my view, the next ...

One more thing you need to know to get the Jump button to open a topic within the current CHM file:

The path to the topic needs to be formatted like this (for example): /Content/glossary/Glossary.htm

I specified it like that in both the skin and the target. Without "\Content", the link won't work ...

Ok, I got it working now. This is what it looks like:

(As you can see, I'm still using the trial version.)

The topic can appear anywhere you want in the TOC. You can index it, too.

Yes, this means you circumvent Flare's glossary setup function. (We didn't use it ...
