Dear Yasmin, Thanks so much for your detailed and informative reply. Unfortunately, my version does not have this feature. My client insists on using this version only. Is there some other method to make the inverted memory? Someone told me that if I replace the language names in the header in TM, it will become an inverted memory. I tried to do so but in vain.

My main client insists that I should use this version only. May be, the higher versions are not compatible for him because he gets the translation edited/proofread by someone else but I don't know the exact reason.

Open the TM in text format, copy it into Excel, invert the columns manually then save it again under another name, in text format. | | | Alex Lago Spain Local time: 10:28 English to Spanish + ... Do it with Olifant | Mar 24, 2012 |
