I am employee in mid-sized company that is currently experimenting with implementation of Latex for writting technical documentation (see Implementing Latex in our company).
Most of our documents need to be translated in various languages, which is done by translation agencies. To perform this task, they normally use Trados Studio. However, this program does not support documents in .tex format.
It does, however, support .html format. As I am using TexStudio (together with Tex Live), I am able to convert .tex documents in .html format (using Tools -> Convert Source to Html). This creates a document that can show Html code when opened in Notepad, but if you open it in web browser, a .tex code is shown.
However, the created document was not compatible with Trados Studio.
My question is:
How can I solve this problem? Is the problem in the fact that the created .HTML document is not "correctly" converted (when checking the created Html document with Html validator, some errors pop up).
If this approach of converting to .html documents is not the best approach for translating with Trados Studio, what alternative approach do you suggest?
Note that our typical documents are roughly 100 pages long and there is large amount of them, so a solution that is not time-intensive would be preffered.
Edit: I used make4ht -l filename.tex, while the minimized example (probably I missed something) is:
% !TeX program = lualatex
% !TeX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
% !TeX spellcheck = de_DE

make4ht filename.tex. If it is larger document with lot of custom commands and lot of used packages, you can experience some errors, but they are usually possible to fix..txt) documents - so maybe just renaming your.texfile to.txtwould work? When you are done you can rename it back.
