Hello everybody,

Do you know if it is possible to put a new version of a source document I started to translate into the existing project folder, then "merge" the two documents, without loosing what I already have translated (Studio 2019) in the first version of the document?

I looked for this everywhere, but cannot manage to find it Thank you for your help!

Thank you, but.... Oct 1, 2018

Thank you Nora, that's what I tried to do, but the option to update or add a file ist not accessible (can't click on it!). What might be the problem ?

Single-file vs project Oct 1, 2018

If both options are grayed-out, then you may have opened your file as a single file for translation, instead of opening it as part of a project, in which case the options are not available.

Your option then is to open the new version of the file and use your existing TM to pre-translate the file.

Thanks again! Oct 2, 2018

Great advice, it always seems so obvious once you know how it works...
