I have just installed Trados 6.5 Freelance, and when I tried using Translator's Workbench with a Word file to translate a text from English into Arabic, things irst appear fine, then when I click Next on the Trados Toolbar the previous Arabic text turns into unreadable characters. What is the problem here? knowing that I use Word 2003, and I used the Demo version of Trados before getting the license and everything was alright.
I appreciate your help very much

Font Setup
Aug 9, 2004
Hi,
Try this:
Trados Workbench : FILE>SETUP>FONTS
Set your pair of fonts and make sure the target font is inline with the job you are doing. e.g. If you are processing an EN>AR job, you could use Arabic Transparent as target and make sure you click the box at the bottom that makes this default for that job.
The other issue is that you only see the unclear marjs in the segments? perform a concordance search for something in one of your TM's, how... See more
