Aron,

this might not be a lingo or a flare issue. This might be language- and/or output-related. Could you let me know what the languages involved are and what the output is supposed to be (HTML, PDF?)

Well its offical. SDL Studio has been removed and the implementation of Lingo is completed. Now its just some fine-tuning...

Simona,

like I stated in my post, I am set up in a very specific way so Excel is for my purposes perfect. However, based on your post this is probabyl not for you based on the effort involved for you. Since you want to include other personnel from the company I would go ahead and contact MadCap to ...

Simona,

thats a tricky one. I am using Passolo for software translations and create the software glossaries from there. I create them in Excel (I know its not a terminology solution per se) but based on the way I am set up the software translations are finalized when we get them back. I am using ...

You are welcome. Glad it worked out.

Is this a project created form Madcap FLare?

Pelikano,

the only other thing I came up with is that you might not have the language support installed. If you have just English installed on your PC this might be an issue. I am using Windows 7 Enterprise and I have language packs for a number of languages installed. I would suggest that you ...

Go through this in Detail: I have a TopNav project and it works fine following the instructions.

Pelikano,

the reason it is not documented in Flare/Lingo conists in the fact that this is not a Flare issue but rather a Windows one. Let me explain:

When you have multiple language helps available the help will be loaded according to the language you have defined in the regional settings in your ...

Lingo only works with SQLite or SQL Server Express from MS.

If you want to place the databases on a shared network drive keep in mind the following:

Your Translation Memory database must be created in the same drive name as your SQL Server Express installation location. For example if you install ...

Felipe,

I cant really go into too much detail here but what I can tell you is that I am handling currently up to 24 languages depending on the project. Lets just say I have a rather large SQL environment for translation set up.

Felipe,

most of the limitations will depend on your computer. Case in point I just completed two 700K plus words projects. I have a 64 bit machine with 16 GB RAM and I did not run into an issue yet.

Felipe,

I dont know for sure. Based on my experience I would say it something to keep in mind for Japanese, but only a test can tell for sure. As for Russian, I dont see an issue because Russian is not a double-byte language.

However, as stated before, it should be tested and I do not know for ...

See the link to the Flare issue with Simplified Chinese and Brackets. I posted it in the Printed Doc output section, but this is good to know for translation personnel.

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=27840

As an FYI I just completed a 3000 pages set of docs in Flare in Simplified Chinese and when compiling for PDF we run into an interesting issue. When double-byte brackets are followed by a double-byte space, it will corrupt the output PDF. The workaround is to change all brackets from double-byte to ...

To answer your questions.

First of all for the MadCap File type, please disregard. My brain went south. The MadCap File type available for SDL Studio is only used when we dont use Lingo.
When I refer to exporting, it was meant when you create the Bundle since you have 2 options (The XLiff option ...

Which version of Trados is he/she using? I am using 2015 Pro SR2 and I dont have that issue. With Studio 2011 and 2014, I did occasionally run into this one, but that was a Trados issue. I am not using the MadCap file type anymore because for me that was the issue. Also, not meant to offend you, are ...

MAF,
I did also look at translating software with Lingo but there are too many challenges associated with it, as you described some of them very accurately. Depending on the format there are others, believe me. I am using SDL Passolo for software translation. When the translation is done I am using ...

No Problem. The help is somewhat "convoluted" shall we say.

Look in http://help.madcapsoftware.com/lingo10/ ... y%20target

Having used Lingo 10 now quite extensively so far there was only one bug encountered and this refers to the Dutch language in a termbase. Everything can be imported but if you attempt to export the sae terms, it will fail at the end. This was forwarded to support and they are able to re-produce it ...

If the translation is done with Lingo 10, they have a nice new feature just for that. I already tried it and it works very well. here is a link to the help topic:

Is anyone using MadCap Contributor for review of Lingo packages and if so, what are your experiences?

Well, I just completed the preparation of 700K word project for translation and everything went smoothly. We will see when I get the translation back...

I also wrapped another project and I was able to use the batch replace image feature for the localized images. This works great. That in itself is ...
