Only the best is good enough


Hi,
I received xml files from the client, imported them in memoQ, they were translated using SDL Trados Studio, and the then imported into the project. Now, when exporting the files into the saved path, the source shows the English translation instead of the German source and the "trans-unit" is empty

Does anyone know how to solve this problem with the export?

Thanks
