Export/import Jul 15, 2004

Hi "ghiatti",
Technically, inverting is simple (I take it you're aware of the linguistic issues):

- Export all translation units.
- Create a new database for the opposite language pair.
- Import the previously exported units.
- Reorganise the database.
- Done.

HTH, Ralf

Thanks Jul 15, 2004

It worked!! Thanks a lot.
I have another question for you!!
I have a very long translation and I have modified only 5% of it. Now a friend would like to double check only my 5% and not the whole translation. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks again for your help.

Hello

You can search for all new and changed translation units after starting date of your work with the Maintenance function in Workbench
