Post title: Not Olifant

I didn't bother installing Olifant. I did it the hard way, i.e. going through the TMX in my text editor and manually removing any offending TUs,
i.e. TUs with either empty source or empty target segment (... ), using a regular expression (which my text editor EditPad Pro allows me to do).
You could try doing it in Word, using Advanced Find, wildcards and highlighting all such occurrences.
It all depends on how many there are, if any (because that hypothesis still needs to be confirmed, have you checked for any such TUs, in Notepad for instance?)

Thanks a lot, CafeTran Training. I am not familiar with the functions of Xbench, so how would this work? What exactly would the customer and/or I have to do? [/quote]

I only have the freeware version of Xbench and see that it only supports the old Transit XV*). Not sure about the paid version of Xbench.

If I understand this correctly, you Xbench for the translation instead of Trados Studio?

Note that you'd need the language pair files. All this being a work-around.

In Xbench you create a new project and load the XV files.
Then you export them:

The header looks like this:

I've not tested the import in Studio.

BTW: Did you check the language and country codes of the TMX file created by Transit? Are they what Studio expects?

Post title: The TMX file content looks quite different

Thanks a lot, CafeTran Training, I shall try the import and export via Xbench out later, but I think that the customer will have to try to export the TM again, since the content of the TMX file generated in Transit is quite different from that of my own TM exports, i. e. the translation units do not come in pairs like in an export from Studio - so it really looks as if the TMX files are not right for this purpose.

Judging from the content of the customer's TMX file, it seems as if they have actually exported the pretranslated translation project as a TMX file instead of the TM itself, although I have no idea how this would work in Transit.

If I am right, I would appreciate if you could describe step by step what exactly my customer would have to do in order to export the "language pair files" so that we can get this right first. I thought that I had found some proper instructions on the Internet which I sent to my customer, but apparently the result is still not right - I cannot believe that this should be so difficult!

Once again, thank you all for your time and effort.

Actually, I found a similar reference a couple of days ago, but according to my customer they would need an "extra licence" (an add-on, I suppose) in order to have access to the TM container. Do you know if this can actually be the case? [/quote]

No and yes ;-).
Transit supports two different approaches for translation memory:
The file-based translation memory (supported "since ever") and a so-called TM Container (supported since 2 or 4 years or so). The TM Container support is an additional feature, i.e. "filling", using and exporting the TM Container is optional.

[quote]To me it seems absurd that a system would not allow you to export your TMs, but then again I do not know Transit.[/quote]
"Extra licence" for a TM system to access the TM? That's not only absurd, but also wrong:
- If your customer is using the file-based TM (as a standard feature), he can of course access it without extra licence.
- If your customer is using the optional TM Container, he has the "extra licence" which enables him -- of course -- to acess the TM and export it as TMX.
- If your customer does not have the "extra licence", he has no TM Container. And -- suprise! -- cannot export its (non-existing) content as TMX.

It sounds as your cutsomer does not know Transit very well, too ;-).

[/quote]

Does that mean the TMX contains also untranslated segments? I.e. some segments where source and target content is the same (= untranslated)?

If so, your customer may
- have exported the current project as TMX instead of TM (makes no sense for your purpose)
- not have checked the "minimum segment status" option (would have made sense in this case)
- have checked the "also export identical segments" option (makes no sense in this case)

IMHO, the TMX chapter in the Reference Guide is understandable and describes well what to do for what purpose...

Post title: Thank you so much, everybody!

I haven't managed to solve the export/import problem (yet), but Alexander Somin's tip has made it possible for me to open Transit packages in Studio, and this solution works very well - at least in this case. So thanks a lot for all your good input and ideas!

Thanks a lot, Oiseau noir, for explaning how this works in Transit. It is good to hear that not the tool itselfs is limiting the possibilities.

Exactly, it looked as if there were untranslated segments in the the TMX file, and judging from my customer's comments I believe that they actually exported the project as TMX, although I tried very hard to explain that I needed an export from the TM, which then ended in the container issue.

Well, one should think so ;)

This is my impression, too - but at least now we have found a solution that works.

It's a trying application at times, no doubt. I thought I had seen an option to turn off the beep somewhere but a quick check reveals nothing, so perhaps not. Hopefully somebody knowledgeable will appear with a solution.

I understand your point. The only work-around I can think of, is to create a script that deactivates the sound when Transit has focus. But then again, the beeps of other apps running in the background won't be played either.

Would this work?

Ear Trumpet for Windows 10
If you want, you can also use a freeware called Ear Trumpet, that offers you a smarter way to control the volume for each individual program.

Or rather not, since it's the System beep that's involved here?

Trying to download and install Transit NXT on my laptop, having deactivated it temporarily on desktop. Cannot find how to do it - when I click on the service pack on the Star web site it demands a password, which I don't think I have, though I have a license number. Any ideas?

I think that you'll need a full install first. An SP won't do it. You can contact STAR Support for a link to a full version.

That's what I was afraid of. I emailed them this morning. No response. Disappointing.

EDIT I just don't get why they don't allow me to log in to my account and download the software. Why not? I have to go through the activation process anyway, so it's not like I can use it without a license.

I see no indication that the company's management have collectively sat down round a table and said to each other "How can we make this easier for these people?"

Well, I guess that's why I have been asked whether I have an SDL/Trados license dozens of times, whereas I've only been asked if I have a STAR license once. That tells you a lot about relative success. The market applies its punishments slowly, but it gets there in the end.

Thanks

I thank you for offer and may take you up on it if they don't get back to me.

However, the piece of work I wanted to do in Transit has been finished, using my office desktop. I wanted to use some of the eight hours spent sitting on a train over the past few days to get some work done on the laptop, but that didn't happen and the need is now passed.

Topic: I cannot open export files (.docx) from Transit
Poster: jeromeb

Hello
When I try to export a file after translating with Transit, I get a message error. I have to ask my client to perform the export for me and to send me a .doc file (not a .docx file, as I cannot open it).
When I do not use Transit, I work without any problem with .docx files.
Have you ever encountered this problem?
Thanks for your help.
