Hello, When translating some document with Word 2007 and Workbench (SDL Trados 2007), the target segment is always set to English (instead of French). I have selected all document and applied French. I have French installed and selected in the Office language tools as my only input language. I have French selected as my OS language. I have an EN>FR TM active. I created a macro to apply French every time, but it a bit cumbersome to apply it on every segment. ...

Hi Jerzy! Well, I did that already, at least in the Revision > Language setting (from the ribbon)... It doesn't care however. And when I go back to it it's checked again. Another thing to note is that when I apply my macro (change language to French), translate a segment, close it, open it again, it's in English again. And it doesn't happen here and there but on every single segment of the document... Jacques | | | Jerzy Czopik 德国 Local time: 13:41 正式会员 (自2003) Polish波兰语译成German德语 + ...

Select also the text part in question and check, if there is no auto sdelection of language. Also check, if you did not set up in Word, that keyboard shall be switched automatically according the language. | |

Hi Jerzy, This came too late for this project, but I just got back to it to test your last suggestions. And indeed when I saw the Normal style had "English" forced, and when I chose French+do-not-detect instead for the Normal style, it suppressed any language information from the style (French being the default language), and now it seems to work correctly. Thanks a lot, it'll help some other time! | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Words 2007 keeps changing the language back to English Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
