Hello,
I am using Cafetran croissant for a fairly large work. I would like to export only the parts I already translated. However, so far I am only able to export the whole document, with the part I already processed included in the target language, and the rest included in the source language.

Is there any option I missed that control that behaviour? ▲ Collapse

The feature in question means the deletion of the untranslated source text, which would change paging and possibly layout of the exported target language document. However, you can get quite close to what you wish as follows:
1. Choose in the menu Filter > Target segments preview.
2. Choose Project > Export and exchange > To HTML... .
3. Open the exported HTML document in Ms Word or LibreOffice.

Thanks Igor, that is a step in the right direction.
The result indeed contains only the translated segments, but also empty entries for all the non-translated segments. The file is huge, and the translated bits are sparsed. For instance, the chapter titles are in the TOC and at the beginning of each chapter. All the non-translated chapters as made of empty segments.

This is not too important in the present case, but I can imagine situations where more complex translation structures occur, for instance if one translates together all parts that are related, e.g. for a technical specification, the TOC, the summary, the complete description, the corresponding appendices etc.
Thanks for your help and your great software. ▲ Collapse

Are you, by any chance, translating DOCX documents? (If so, a workaround would be possible.)
