Question

Is anyone here translating RoboHelp files with the CAT tool Across?

Hi!

We are translating RoboHelp files with the CAT tool Across and are experiencing issues - we are in contact with Across, but I'd thought I'd ask here if anyone else is using Across. I'd love some exchange experiences and maybe talk about workarounds.

    Robohelp makes use of pre-segmentation, which is a setting that needs to be toggled in many CAT tools.

    Other than that, additional info is needed:

    • Did you export the XLIFFs of just a small sample as test?
    • Did Across specify the kind of error?

    Hi,

     

    well, so far we have not been able to specifically locate the errors. We always eventually find the cause, but it's always something else. Sometimes Across just does not want to import the files (sometimes it works), sometimes it does not want to export them after translation (sometimes it works) and sometimes RH does not want to import them back in (sometimes it works). As neither Across nor RH give any helpful tips on the cause of the error, finding errors takes ages.

     

    In our previous tests, everything worked, but now my colleagues are trying to actually translate their projects. As I said, I'm not specifically looking for solutions for a specific error, just looking for some exchange with other Across users. Across is trying to help and looking for the issues and our translation department is also looking for solutions, but maybe we overlooked something in the process - therefore the question.

     

    Cheers

    Carolin

    I haven't seen anything specific about Across but take a look at posts by Wout Jacobs. He has written several posts about translation. Maybe they will help.
