  • Using the SDL Community

    Paul
     
    Last week I spent a few days in Amsterdam talking community with a group of SDL people.  We were there to see how we can shape the community and make it a place where anyone using our products, or just thinking about using them, will be able to find what they need, talk about them or just share experiences in a safe friendly environment.  Actually it’s a lot more than a safe friendly environment… it’s the only place where…

  • Recording Translation Memory metadata

    Paul
     
    Back in July 2013 I wrote an article called “ Fields and Attributes in Studio ” which was all about adding different types of metadata to your Translation Units every time you confirmed a segment to make it easier, or more complex depending on what you’ve done, to manage your Translation Memories.  If you’re not sure what I mean by this take a look at the article as I won’t repeat a lot of that here… at least I’ll try…

  • Paying it forward with MS Publisher files

    Paul
     
    If you’ve never come across Microsoft Publisher before then here’s a neat explanation from wikipedia. “ Microsoft Publisher is an entry-level desktop publishing application from Microsoft, differing from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing.” It’s actually quite a neat application for newbies to desktop publishing like me, but it’s a difficult…

  • We’re leading up to Christmas….

    Paul
     
    … and path handling in Studio can still be a little challenging.  I imagine that’s a statement not too many users would disagree with!  There is a knack to using it, and if you can allow Studio to do its thing, which is what the black box translation environments of some competitive solutions do anyway, then it is something you can live with.  But if you want to have the physical Studio projects set up in the same way…

  • Good bugs… bad bugs!

    Paul
     
    What the heck is a good bug? I don’t know if there is an official definition for this so I’m going to invent one. “ An unintended positive side effect as a result of computer software not working as intended. ” I reckon this is a fairly regular occurrence and I have definitely seen it before.  So for example, in an earlier version of Studio you could do a search and replace in the source and actually change the source…

  • Feature rich… it’s overflowing!

    Paul
     
    I first wrote about the Glossary Converter on September 17, 2012… over three years ago.  Not only is it a surprisingly long time ago, but I still meet people at every conference I attend who have never heard of this marvelous little tool, and in some cases never heard of the OpenExchange either.  So when I toyed with the idea of writing an article about Xmas coming early and talking about the OpenExchange and all the…

Earlier in the week she’d left arrangements to meet László at the Hannover end of Platform 7, and after three hours travelling in a crowded train to get there was in no mood to find he hadn’t got her message. She walked up the platform and as she got closer could recognise his silhouette even though he…

  • A little Learning is a dang’rous Thing;

    Paul
     
    Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring: There shallow Draughts intoxicate the Brain, And drinking largely sobers us again. I’m quoting Alexander Pope in 1709 , rightly or wrongly, for hitting the nail on the head when it comes to the truly intoxicating mix of language and technology.  A little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing and it’s something I know I’ve been guilty of all my life… I learn a little something…

  • ATA56 – SDL Trados Studio Advanced

    Paul
     
    I ran a beginners and an advanced workshop at the ATA56 pre-conference day in Miami this year.  A really fun day for me as we start the day with no specific agenda or pre-defined course and then try to shape the session to suit the needs of the attendees.  The beginner tends to be a little more prescribed, to start off with at least, and the intention is to try and cover the basics of how Studio and MultiTerm work. …

  • X Files… ATA56

    Paul
     
    My favourite conference by far is the ATA… and not just because the location changes every year and it’s always somewhere fantastic!  This year was in Miami and the location was no exception… a great choice and huge numbers of translators interested in translation technology and how they can get more from it.  My own involvement at these conferences is always very satisfying because I get to spend the full conference…
