Find-and-replace all in target text, how to do it?

Hello,

After visiting the Trados booth at the ATA conference this year, I was sold on the AI features of Studio 2024. I now have got AI Assistant working in Studio 2024. At the booth, I was told that I could create prompts that would find-and-replace target text based on instructions, e.g. "Wherever the subscripts in the target text for chemical formulas don't match the source text placement, change the subscripts in the TT to match the ST." However I cannot figure out how to do this. Even simpler queries like "Ensure that the verbs 'comprendre' and 'comporter' are always translated by the grammatically appropriate form of 'comprise'" seems beyond my reach. Can anyone help me out with figuring out how to run these prompts on the text? Thanks!

Regards,

Andrew

    It will work easily one at a time.  Your question title says "all"  but the content of the thread suggests it won't work at all.  So first the working at all:

    If that was your problem I hope it helps.  If you actually want to use AI to find and replace "All" then I'm afraid that isn't possible yet.  We'd need to have a batch task capability to do this which we don't have yet, and as you saw in the video it might be a problem anyway as it's not always right!

  • Hello Paul,

    Thanks for the bespoke video to show off the capability. It does look like this will be a useful prompt but it's unfortunate that we cannot do a batch task to fix a recurring error. Hopefully in some future version.

    You can do a batch process! "Pretranslate with OpenAI provider for Trados". AFAIK you can't make these changes tracked - that would be a major advantage!

    I didn't test this, but I think that may not be the same thing.  That approach would replace the entire translation with the OpenAI version of it as opposed to just correcting the subscript.  If you tested it and found it only corrected the subscripts then that's a major plus I reckon we got "not by design!"

    I tested it in connection with the AI terminology question here:  Terminology-aware machine translation in Trados 2024

    I can translate something, then ask AI to sort out all the terminology without changing anything else in the translation - as a batch task. It works great. The more synonyms you have, the less glossary-style your TB is the easier it is for AI to select the wrong term. Might be my bad prompting, but it is certailnly partly because the AI Assistant does not convey any metadata to OpenAI.

    In this test, I have terms with synonyms, and I ask AI to insert the term that is most likely to fit, depending on context, length and specificity. Alphanumerics are to be handled separately.

    So if you have a suitable prompt, you could let AI edit your translation. A very useful feature would be to let AI do this in tracked changes mode. That would be incredible. Imagine telling AI to check for incomplete sentences and complete them - with tracked changes. And maybe even add the comments that it can already produce now to the change (a bit tricky) or at least to the segment containing the change(s).

    Indeed... but this is a different usecase.  Andrew wants the prompt to make a change to an existing translation unrelated to terminology, rather based on the prompt used for interactive work to adapt or provide a translation based on AI alone.
