If you want to change any of the settings, you can click Back;
otherwise click Next. The wizard displays the progress of the import
process.
During the import process, Déjà Vu X Professional performs the
following tasks:
filters the text to make most formatting codes hidden and
inaccessible.
replaces character formatting codes with placeholders
("embedded codes") that are difficult to delete by accident.
splits paragraphs into sentences according to the set of rules and
exceptions specified under Options (for more information on
this, see Sentence Delimitation in the Translation Features
chapter in the User’s Guide).
builds the project file with all the source sentences in one column
and an empty column for (each of) the target language(s).

Translating the File

similar to this:

Notice the {1} symbol at the beginning of the second sentence. This
is what we call an embedded code. An embedded code contains
formatting information that is inside the sentence.
In this case, {1} contains formatting information for the table cell in
which the sentence appears. In most cases, you do not need to know
what the embedded code contains, as long as you maintain its correct
place in the translated text. For example, if a word has an embedded
code on each side, we can probably assume that, in the source text,
this word is marked as bold, italics, etc.
2
Locate the source sentence in the table.
If you are not at the beginning of the file, use the table scroll bar to
move to the beginning, or press Ctrl+Home to jump to the first line.
3
Click on the first sentence in the table and place your cursor in the
target column.
Enter the translation and press Ctrl+DownArrow to move to the next
sentence. You will notice that a check mark (
) appears to the left of
the translation to indicate that you have translated this sentence.
The second row contains embedded codes. Déjà Vu X Professional
displays a warning symbol (
) to remind you to copy the embedded
codes from the source to the target.
4
To copy the embedded codes:
Press F8 (or Ctrl+D).
