# Exporting Translations

When you’re done translating, export in a format that matches your workflow.

### Export steps

1. Go to **File → Export**
2. Choose an export type (for example DOCX, bilingual table, or a CAT return format)
3. Pick a destination and save

### CAT tool round-trips

If you started from a CAT exchange format (memoQ/Trados/Phrase/CafeTran), export the matching return format.

#### Important rules for round-trips

* **Segment count must match**: don’t merge or split segments.
* **Keep tags balanced**: for example `<b>text</b>` (not `<b>text`).
* **Don’t “pretty edit” bilingual tables**: changing the table structure in Word can break reimport.
* Run your CAT tool’s QA after reimport.

:::caution Don’t merge or split segments in Supervertaler when you plan to reimport into a CAT tool. :::

### Choosing the right export

* For CAT tool workflows, use the matching CAT export:
  * memoQ bilingual DOCX
  * Trados return package (SDLRPX) when you imported SDLPPX
  * Phrase bilingual DOCX
  * CafeTran bilingual table DOCX
* For review-only delivery, consider [Bilingual Tables](/help/import-and-export/bilingual-tables.md).
