Japanese translation, project is fine but TOC is in English

Unread post by Dave Gehman »

Clearly I have done something wrong...

We have an interim (in-process) H+M project back from a translator using Trados Studio. The files, contents, and folder structure are fine and the project loads flawlessly into H+M.

However, the entire TOC remains in English.

How do we set our project up such that the TOC also gets translated?

Hi Dave,

They need to translate the TOC file(s) in the \Maps folder. That is/are (a) separate XML file(s). There will only be more than one if you have multiple TOCs. 8)

Thanks. Is the word count in ...\Maps\table_of_contents.xml included in the word tally in the long report?

No, the TOC and keywords are not included in the word count, so you need to account for those separately.

Thanks. Doggone. Still, not a huge time sink...

Oops, wait - which file contains the keywords?

They are stored in each topic file, in a keywords XML section. They can be translated in the XML source, but they are not included in the word count.
