Last time I posted a question about Trados when I acquired it after the SDLX/Trados merge, I was told I should find a Trados group, but now it appears that...
Hi Joan -- You can post here but you'll get more help from those who actually use Trados. Try their group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TW_users/ Best, Esther...
Thank you, Piotr, It's reappeared on top (for reasons just as inexplicable as why it disappeared in the first place), but still isn't in the toolbar options ...
Hi Joan, If you have the little flagman on the top, right click on him and a list of toolbars will appear of which TWin (or something like that) is one. If...
Hello all, I am an Argentine certified legal translator (B.A) in English and Head of the Translation Department of Baker & Mckenzie's office in Buenos Aires,...
Hello, Pat I am not that experienced yet with SDLX, but from the little I know, I don't think that it replaces any words automatically. If you are talking...
Thank you very much. I do not have Skype but I may send you a private email. Could you send me your private email address? Many thanks Pat Patricia Mazzucco ...
Just right-click on his message and choose Properties to see the sender's address. Richard ... Thank you very much. I do not have Skype but I may send you a...
Dear Annette and Esther. Thanks for your suggestions. I had never even noticed the little "flagman" but there he is, and when I hold the cursor over him, it...
Hi David -- I don't know any way to disable Format Paint altogether but you can always delete any format painting in a segment: 1. Select Format Paint mode...
Esther's tip got rid of all the FP sections and turned them purple on the source side. After going through all 76 sections I asked sdlx to convert to the...
Hi David -- I'm not sure what you mean by "I asked sdlx to convert to the original format" but I have a question: did you confirm each segment after...
Hello all, I need information about the New Trados SDL Multiterm Interface, how to migrate tms, terminology bases, etc. There is a document or site where I...
I have a glossary in WinWord *.doc table format and want to make it into a TM. Can anyone give me a step-by-step explanation of how to do so? I tried using the...
... Hi David, If it is a glossary, do you want to make a a Translation Memory or Multiterm Termbase of it? If it is a termbase that you want, you can paste the...
Hi David, No need to separate or align, if it's in a table already. Just save as tab-delimited txt and import into a new or existing TM via Maintain. The whole...
Dear David, First, you have to convert your doc Document in Excel with tab delimited (.txt). 1. To do so, open a new Excel spreadsheet with 2 columns wide...
Piotr, your message made me install WinAlign (I hadn't selected it during my original installation of Trados 2006) in case my memories of WinAlign were no...
... Hi Esther, As much as I prefer to translate with SDLX, I prefer to align with Trados WinAlign. The main thing I have against SDL Align is that I don't see...
Hi Piotr -- I think it's time to let David Pooley know of the space-insertion problem when joining segments. I agree with you that it's obnoxious, but since I...
Did someone call my name? :-) Inserting spaces *should* be automatic and/or configurable in SDL Align. Tools/Options and the Editor tab allows you to specify...
... Big, really big mistake, may I say. This is a feature that probably precludes many users from using SDLX. When working in SDLX, I many times find source...
... Well, speaking for myself, the contrary is true. I consider SDLX to be much safer than Trados in terms of leaving the source untouched. ... My job is to...
Hi ... In the end, let the user decide. Make an option to unprotect the source, but leave it disabled per default. Personally, I have encountered both...
... Absolutely! I didn't mean to ignore the errors. Of course, I inform my clients about issues, if any, in their source texts. But fixing them needs to be...
... Thank you, David, this works fine. I just hadn't noticed that menu -- and I guess neither had Piotr, whom I thank warmly for bringing up the question. Now,...
... Hi Esther, Just switch source and target when opening the TM in Maintain. Once your original source is displayed in the target pane, you can change the...
