Sorry for the bad topic description... here's my problem:

One of my clients provides documents which are partly written in Dutch, partly in English. The documents follow a template, but sometimes certain paragraphs are written in Dutch, the next time in English, etc.

I'm supposed to make two documents out of this, one 100% Dutch, one 100% English.

Just for the record, I don't have a TM for this client (yet), and help how to organize such a TM is appreciated

I'm sure I could automate part of this process in MemoQ but I'm a little lost how to proceed...

Bilingual translation Feb 23, 2018

Is there some way of identifying the different parts (other than looking at the language)? If so, file tagging with regular expressions would be a possibility.
