Hello, I've just finished translating a web site using the filter WBF, but when I opened the translated source code to do some minor changes, I found out that...

Hi Piotr, Yes, I was talking about the line terminations. I know how to convert a DOS file to UNIX, but thanks anyway. However, I was wondering if there's a...

Hi, Is there a way to change the font SDLX uses in the translatable text? The text is disturbingly large, even though I have a 110-dpi display. - Marko...

Excuse me for jumping. I just want to say "Me, too!" I have not posted here before, but have been quietly reading some of the messages. I have been using SDLX,...
Hi, To get started, it's a good idea to visit sdlx.com and download the "How to..." documents. Just two quick remarks: - Hovering the mouse over a formatting...
Hi Joe, Here is the long answer: Let's say a particular segment in the left column contains a few words that have a colored background, which means that they...
This has been very helpful; can I add a couple of further questions? 1) The red pipe has (vertical red bar, I guess) already been explained; how about the red...
Hi again, The red circumflex signs (or "caret" symbols) indicate some missing formatting code in the target segment. They should all disappear when the entire...
Further to Thomas' explanation, it can also happen that a red caret remains at the end of the translation segment, even though all formats have been pasted....

Well, yes. But the idea should be to produce a final file from within SDL Edit, without having to "fix" the output afterwards. ;-)) Then again, those red...
Hello Joe, Format painting is one of the toughest things when you start with SDLX (the same thing happened to me when I started with it). When you click the...
