Hi everybody,
My client asked me about translation in QUICKSILVER software (something like Photoshop or InDesign).
https://broadvision.com/products/quicksilver/quicksilver-overview/
Format: .ildoc
They made user manual in this software and then save as PDF.
I wanted to try to open the file they sent, but I can't download this software.

I wanted to try to open the file they sent, but I can't download this software.

The support has just answered that they don't have a demo version and they don't sell the software to new customers any longer.

Does anybody know what can I do in this situation?
Is there any other software?
Probably somebody can share this app with me?
I will reimburse the expenses, rent it, so to speak.

Thank you in advance.

I get many different hits for "Quicksilver" software on Google. Can you be more specific about this software? For example, a URL?

There is a filter for Trados, but it costs EUR 250 for just one month of use, and it only works on a specific type of QuickSilver file:
https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/broadvision-quicksilver-filter-for-sdl-trados-studio/492/

Is this ILDOC file a plaintext file or a binary file?

Hi Hans,
I've checked the document on 273 page.

Interleaf/QuickSilver
To save an Interleaf document in ASCII format...

There is no information about how to open.
I've downloaded Deja Vu X3. It is impossible to open .ildoc document.

Also, I've tried WinDjView. There is no results as well.

You’ll need QS Feb 6, 2021

To do the conversion. Or ask the client to do it.

Interleaf ASCII

Then create an XLIFF in Déjà Vu and translate it in your preferred CAT tool.

It goes like that?

Open QuickSilver
Convert the file to Interleaf ASCII
Open Déjà Vu
Convert the file to XLIFF
Open the file in any CAT tool

Right?

But in this case the client will get the xliff file. How it could be converted to Quicksilver format. After the delivery they need to check translated file, maybe edit something and then save as PDF.

Or there is a way to convert it back?
XLIFF->Interleaf->QuickSilver

Use DV to export the translated XLIFF to ASCII. Client has to import this in QS.

Check if it is ASCII Feb 8, 2021

Check with a text editor if the file is in the ASCII format. It could be that the extension is still 'ildoc', while the file format certainly isn't binary but ASCII.
