Thread: Switching Trados source and target languages around

A friend has come up with this query, but since the answer might be interesting for other people (if there is one!) I shall put it to anyone who may know the answer:

If you have a TM, say Spanish to English and you want to have the same terms the other way round (English to Spanish)?

The only way I can think of (maybe I'm being too complicated here) is to export it to a text file, use Text to Table in Windows, change the order of the columns, turn back to text and then import as a new TM.

Does anyone have any ideas at all?

Thanks very much.

Sorry, I meant "Text to Table in Word", not Windows!

Your approach is well oriented, the solution is even easier.

Open the TM with Wordfast and use the REVERSE command!

Very interesting tip! Thanks!
