Removing AT statuses as you work

Paul

This one has always been a hot topic and I've been fairly opinionated on this in the past, but today there are so many published ways to do this I thought I'd share a simple way of automating the removal of the AT status as you work:

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Clear AT statuses in SDL Trados Studio.
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
^+f::
Send ^a^c!{Ins}^a^v
Return

The script is simple enough, you just press Ctrl+Shift+f and the AT status from a machine translation magically disappears so the active segment appears to be a new translation for you to post-edit.  The script just automates the selection of the target, copy the target to the clipboard, overwrite the target with the source which clears the AT status, select the target again and paste back the original machine translation.

    Hi Paul,

    I have a question about the scripts. Can we combine all scripts in one script? If so, I only need to enable one each time instead of running them one by one. If this is not possible, can we set the scripts to automaticlly run when the PC starts? Many thanks.

    Regards,
    Ivan
     

    Hi Ivan,

    Not Paul, but I thought I'd chime in. : )

    Yes, you can combine them all into one file. That's what I do, I have a file called "Studio scripts" and they're all in there. All you need to do is copy them one after another. Whenever I write or find a new script, I simply add it to the file.
