Multilingual Project with several source languages

Post by eliannaott »

Hello

I have the following Problem:

Most of my Flare topics are written in German. A minority of topics are written in English.
I need to translate all of the topics into 8 different languages. Because of this I have set up a multilingual project in Lingo.
As far as I know Lingo can only handle one source language, which is German in my case.
In the Flare topic properties I set the language of the english topics to English.
This does not seem to affect the topics my Lingo project. It still considers them as German, allthough the source language is clearly English. Immagine the mess in my TM if I translate the topics with a wrong source language :( :? ...

How do I need to proceed when I have several source languages? In the end I need all of my topics in each of the 9 languages (1 source language and 8 target languages)?

Please, can anyone provide me with useful Information?

Thank you in advance!
Eliane
