Hi all,
I am translating a sentence where italics are needed in the target but not in the source. I'm using SDL Trados Studio 2015 Starter edition and the all the formating options are deactivated, so can't write anything in bold, italics nor underlined. I tried the shortcuts (Ctrl+I) but doesn't work either.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks!
Marga

Unknown said:Sometimes, like in this case, it is needed to introduce italics in the target if I want to have a proper, correct translation in Spanish.
Please elaborate in more details... what source format it is? Why exactly should italics be inserted? A screenshot is worth a thousand words, of course...
Somehow I doubt that it is REQUIRED... I rather suppose that it's some extra requirement of a client not really understanding what is localization about...
Spanish spelling rules are different from English. In Spanish, the use of italics is advised when we transfer English voices into Spanish without translation. For example, bridge (game), cricket, etc.
Hello Margarita Sanchez Barbudo
the old standard for underlined/italics was to use _underscores_ and for bold was *asterisks*. ASCII-days... You simply can't store formatting information in XML for example, unless it has embedded HTML.
