Hi all,

so I wanted to change the target language of my project, because the spellcheck was checking in the wrong language (US English instead of UK). I did this by adding the other language, and removing the original one.

Upon this, the progress of all my documents has gone down to 0, and all my translation is gone!!! Has anyone encountered this before? Is there any way to find/retrieve the translations? There was no warning about this anywhere.

Thank you... See more

Us the TM Jan 25, 2019

If you have a TM for US English and another for UK English (if you don't, it is a good idea), then start another project and put the UK TM as first but also use the US English TM. Run pre-translate and all the text from the US English TM should populate the segments. You can just go through, either before or after, to check UK spelling and style.

Thanks a lot, I realised after I posted that the translation should be there in the TM and thankfully it was indeed!
