# Supervertaler Bilingual Table

The **Supervertaler Bilingual Table** is a branded Word (DOCX) export that lays your project out as a side-by-side table — handy for reviewing, proofreading, or handing off to someone who doesn't use a CAT tool. Its defining feature: one variant can be edited and **re-imported** to pull the changes straight back into your project.

### When to use it

* A proofreading round-trip in Word: export, edit the targets, re-import.
* Sharing with a reviewer who doesn't use your CAT tool.
* Client delivery or archiving (the formatted version).

### Columns

| Column     | Description                               |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **#**      | Segment number                            |
| **Source** | Source text                               |
| **Target** | Target text (edit this when proofreading) |
| **Status** | Segment status                            |
| **Notes**  | Segment comments                          |

A header above the table shows the project name, language pair, segment count, and export date.

### Two variants

**File → Export** offers two versions:

* **Supervertaler Bilingual Table — With Tags (DOCX)** — formatting tags stay visible as markup. This is the **re-importable** version: edit the Target cells, save, and bring the changes back in (see below). Don't change the segment numbers (#) or the source text.

* **Supervertaler Bilingual Table — Formatted (DOCX)** — inline formatting (bold, italic, underline) is rendered instead of shown as tags. This version is for **client delivery or archiving** and **cannot be re-imported**.

### Round-trip (proofread and re-import)

1. Export the **With Tags** version.
2. Edit the **Target** column (and **Notes**, if you like) in Word — leave the **#** and **Source** columns untouched.
3. Back in Workbench: **File → Import → Bilingual Table (DOCX) – Update Project**.
4. The edited targets (and notes) are matched back to your segments by number.

### Other bilingual tables

To round-trip back into a **CAT tool**, use that tool's own bilingual format (memoQ, CafeTran, Phrase, Trados Bilingual Review) rather than the Supervertaler table — see [CAT Tool Overview](/help/cat-tool-integration/overview.md).
