Hi everyone,
I have a huge project of 130,000 words which is indeed divided in several files. Whether I try to convert file by file from .docx to .xliff, or I try to convert 10 files on the same time to get 1 .xliff file, Swordfish runs very slowly.

I have a huge project of 130,000 words which is indeed divided in several files. Whether I try to convert file by file from .docx to .xliff, or I try to convert 10 files on the same time to get 1 .xliff file, Swordfish runs very slowly.

And, from now on, the main problem is that I cannot convert the Xliff back to .docx (and delivery time gets closer!!!). Swordfish has been "thinking" (I have the rainbow circle) for almost 5 hours now and has even not started to convert.
Also, I have tried the conversion on two different computers. The problem remains the same.
Thank you for your precious help in advance.
Best regards,

Thank you very much Rodolfo. I didn't know I could convert files without opening them. I will follow your advise.
Kindest,
