Trados 6.5 Freelance

Hi All

When trying to open the TRADOStag file (supplied by the company)in TagEditor The following message was displayed: "Specify a DTD settings file for the HTML file."

I have only received the HTML file, the TRADOStag file and the TM text file from the company.

I have only received the HTML file, the TRADOStag file and the TM text file from the company.

My TRADOS tutorial suggests to use a default HTML 4.0 DTD settings file which came with TRADOS when I purchased it. Will it be ok to use the default "HTML4.ini" file and will this file keep the settings as the company wishes it?
Thanks

You can trust Trados DTD settings file Apr 13, 2005

I have just encountered the same problem and I am using Trados predefined HTML settings (Tools Menu > DTD Settings > Predefined HTML settings).

Seems to be allright.


Good luck,

Jean-Michel

Name changes from Trados 6 --> 6.5 Apr 13, 2005

Hello,

Trados has changed the name of the standard HTML ini (Intnerla TagEditor name).

You can manually choose your standard ini.

ppt xml DTD settings Apr 14, 2005

Hi!

I'm experiencing almost the same problem but with an xml bilingual file from a ppt document...

I've used the wizard (Tools>DTD settings>add>Create a new DTD settings file using wizard) but I cannot finish the process for lack of DTD file.

How can I do this? I'm completely lost...

Thanks in advance!

TTX? Apr 14, 2005

Hi Natalia,
I'm experiencing almost the same problem but with an xml bilingual file from a ppt document...

Would this be a TTX file?
If yes, you don't need a DTD, as TTX is the native Trados Tag format.

Did you create this file, or was it sent to you? In the latter case, how was it sent? What file extension(s) does the file have (.ppt.ttx, for example)?

Best, Ralf

Hi Ralf!

thanks for being always there!!

this file was sent to me, I did not create it... the file extension is .xml and it was sent to me as bilingual (.xml) and target (.ppt).

for reference, when I try to open it, there appears this message: "The DTD settings file (descriptive name: PPTXML) for this document could not be found. Las time this document was saved the settings file was (and there appears a path for an .ini file that no longer exists as it bel

Hi Ralf!

this file was sent to me, I did not create it... the file extension is .xml and it was sent to me as bilingual (.xml) and target (.ppt).

for reference, when I try to open it, there appears this message: "The DTD settings file (descriptive name: PPTXML) for this document could not be found. Las time this document was saved the settings file was (and there appears a path for an .ini file that no longer exists as it belonged to the files of a former user of this computer...) Would you like to locate it now and add it to the existing DTD settings files list?". If I say yes, it does not work because as I said, that file no longer exists, if I say no, the program says "No matching DTD settings file found".

Thanks again!!!

TTX with incorrect file ending? Apr 14, 2005

Hi again,
this file was sent to me, I did not create it... the file extension is .xml and it was sent to me as bilingual (.xml) and target (.ppt).

I suspect that your e-mail client (which one are you using, BTW?) may have incorrectly saved a .ttx file as .xml.
(This has happened to me when downloading .ttx files using Internet Explorer, which 'recognised' TTX as XML - not altogether wrong, as TTX is XML-based, but not very helpful either...)

Can you open the file using a text editor? Does the file start with the following tags (pointed brackets omitted):

?xml version='1.0'?
TRADOStag Version="2.0"


If yes, replace the .xml extension with .ppt.ttx (use a copy of the file, to be on the safe side), and try opening it in TagEditor.

HTH, Ralf

Still doesn't work :( Apr 15, 2005

Hi Ralf,

I use Lotus Notes to download my mail...

The file actually begins with

?xml version='1.0'?
TRADOStag Version="2.0"

and I have, therefore, made the change you suggested in the file extension, but still does not work. The tag editor continues to show that very message I copied in my first comment, and cannot open the file...

Thanks!

Hi

After the translation, when viewing the .html document (target) everything has been translated apart from the two main headings at the top.

When opening the bilingual file .ttx (TRADOStag)the headings which appear on the .html do not appear in the bilingual file. So there is no option for translating it???

Text or graphics? Apr 16, 2005

Are these headings text or embedded as a graphics file?

Hi Ralf,

The headings are text and graphics. For example, there is a company slogan and in between a graphic.

Thanks

Non-translatable text? Apr 17, 2005

Hi again,
The headings are text and graphics. For example, there is a company slogan and in between a graphic.

Could it be that the text is embedded in a graphics file, together with logo (or whatever is displayed in there)? Can you copy and paste the headings from the HTML file?

Cheers, Ralf

Hi Ralf

I am not able to select the heading text even if I open it in the editing application in word.

Thanks

Graphics... Apr 18, 2005

Hi Eve,
I am not able to select the heading text even if I open it in the editing application in word.

This would confirm my suspicion that the heading was embedded in a graphics file - that's why Workbench cannot pick it up.

Cheers, Ralf
