Hi Verner,

 

You could have a FrameScript script that would loop through the tables in the German file and store each table’s widths. Then you could run a companion script that would apply these widths to the English file. If you are interested in a solution like this, please send me a sample document of each language and I will let you know what is possible with FrameScript. Thank you very much.

Subject: [Free Framers] tables and translation

 

Hi

 

When we translated our manual from English to German via the Trados translation workbench it turned out that many of columns in tables were too small. The result was that a letter or two wre placed in line two of the column.

 

I fixed this in the files I received from the translator but would like to fix it in my English source so that I won't have to do this again in the next release.

My plan was to open a copy ofthe English files and manually compare all tables with those in the German files.

 

Originally I used tables from the table designer by I  fear that many of them habe been manually modified.

 

Do you have any suggestions about how to handle the task?

 

Best regards,

 

Verner
