I'm translating a PPTX file that contains a lot of tags. It's quite troublesome when I translate it in TRADOS 2015 because there are too many tags. You guys have any ideas to make it easy?
Thank you for your input!

Since PPTX files are created through MS PowerPoint, you should try the program called Translator Tools, developed by Stanislav Okhvat, which you can find at http://www.translatortools.net/about.html .

I learned how to get rid of tags in it from a Youtube video made by CATguru at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15hJaPTa85I , which teaches you how to use the Document Cleaner function in Translator Tools.
All those tags are indeed irritating, and it's really nice to see a nice clean document after running Document Cleaner. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your suggestion.
Actually I installed it for evaluation about a month ago. It works fine for MS word, but doesn't very well for PPTX. Almost the same tags remained after I used its tag cleaner.

Hmmm, that's too bad, sorry to hear that. Did you also download the PowerPoint add-on? From the Translator Tools page, it was hard for me to tell if this add-on was part of the full suite or something extra. At any rate, if you don't have it, here's the page with that add-on: http://www.translatortools.net/powerpoint-about.html

If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll ask an IT friend of mine.

I have it, too. Thank you very much. I just converted it into the 97-2003 version - ppt format, and opened it in the editor. All the tags are gone!

Hello eradicate,

This happens for me as well. I can't send the files for reasons of confidentiality, but I can say that Tag Cleaner works well in MS Word, but not usually in PPT, and that it seemed to work better in PPT before the most recent update to Studio 2014. Also, the tags are still present in Studio, but the information coded in each tag is the same - same font, same colour, same size, etc. It's like Tag Cleaner standardized things as it's supposed to, but then the tags stayed anyway.

| Sounds like Translator Tools did the trick | Jun 26, 2016 |
From the OP's last post, it sounds like the problem is solved. He converted the file to the 97-2003 version (I'm not sure why he did, but he had his reasons), put it through Translator Tools, and, as he concluded, "All the tags are gone!"
So I don't think he needs more help, and subsequent posters might try what he did too to solve their problems.

I must say, I think it's really cool that Stanislav Okhvat chimed in to help and invited the OP to send him the file to check it out personally. That's been my experience with him too, an incredibly responsive developer. Thumbs up! ▲ Collapse

Hello,
I am not very much sure about the PPTX file, but in general Under the "VIEW" at the right most side, you might be able to see the "Options", in which you can enable/disable these tags.

It's been a long time, but does anyone know if these tools are still under development?
I often find that opening a Word doc in Libreoffice, making one very minor change (like scrolling to the end of the doc and pressing enter) then saving will remove a lot of the junk tags. But it doesn't catch all of them. I've tried all the tools and tricks listed in this thread, but I still have persistent tags in the one document I'm working with.

It can clean up tags in one go.
If the tags survive TransTools cleaning, they are just a must in the file (formatting tags, etc.).

The question was whether the tool has been developed in recent years for compatibility with recent versions of Office. Or MS 365, as it's now known. Most old software still exists, but I'd have a hard time installing the OG, 1971, non-edited version of The Oregon Trail onto my phone.
I emailed the developer Stanislav Okhvat about some junk tags the tool *didn't* remove and got a very swift response on how to get rid of them manually. So TransTools gets a strong recommendation from me.
