2. There is no spell and grammar check despite activating this feature.

Hi Maryam

Both problems exist in SDLX in versions I've worked with so far (2005, 2006, 2007).

- Sentence alignment not correct.

- If you have a mix of Farsi and English words in your translations, the order of words goes haywire.

- Spell checking does not work for translated segments.

Hi Maryam

To go around this, just keep on translating till the end, and "create translation" (hopefully it has been a Word document of some kind, if not more trouble ahead). Then sot it out there.

Or, you can convert itd files to Trados ttx files and process them in TagEditor. Much much less mess there.

Best

P.S. By the way, maybe these will be interesting for our peers in the same language pair too if you post issues like this in the Persian forum.

Dear Mr. Moosavi

Thanks for advising me how to solve the problem.

I will certainly post the forums in the Persian section from now on.
