Hi,
I don't seem to be able to edit ITD files in my SDL Trados Studio 2015.
How can I do that?
Best,
Lis

Import as source files into a new project Aug 18, 2016

You can import ITD files like any other file supported by Trados. There are even some options in the file type settings that give you a small degree of control over how statuses are mapped.

When you export the file after translation, it can be opened in SDLX again.
