Thanks for your private message Francesco,
It appears that it was a missing tag problem and it is now resolved?
For others stumbling on this thread, I can't stress this enough: run the Transcheck before delivering a file to an agency or saving a file as translated to deliver to a direct client. At the very least, just to find missing tags, though there are several other useful features that pick up on small errors, inconsistencies, etc.
As to your question about translating without messing up tags, this is part of the translator's job. If a word in the source is in italics, he/she need to make sure its translation is in italics. If the source has an invisible bookmark, make sure it appears in the target.
I am fairly certain you can use the demo mode of WFP (3 or 4) to run Transcheck though I imagine that SDL Trados has a similar feature.
Kind regards,
John
