Two simple questions... SDL2017

Dear experts, 

I am using SDL Trados Studio 2017 (latest update) and have two simple questions as follows:

Question 1:

How can I translate/write the text within a field in source segment?

Example  (Source segment text):  " ..."

               The word "Abbildung" is in a field (brick red background).               

              (Translated Target segment): Figure 1 shows the structure.... 

Problem: I don't know how to put the translation of the word "Abbildung", i.e. the word "figure", also in a field (brick red background) in the target segment?

 

Question 2:

I seem to have forgotten how to copy the 100% matches from the TM into my target segment?

I have used this feature before but now somehow I cant do it.

Your help would be most welcome. 

Thanks and best regards

    You may not be able to.  What kind of file is it, and where is the content coming from?  Can you share a small snippet of the file?

    There are a couple of things you may be looking for.  The first is the automatic placing of a 100% match.  Try going to File -> Options -> Editor -> Automation and check "Apply best match after successful lookup".

    If you just want to know who to apply the match in your TM then you can use Ctrl+T to insert the current match from your results window, or use Ctrl+1 for the first result, Ctrl+2 for the second etc.

  • Hallo Paul,

    Thanks alot for your fast response.

     

    To question 1:

    It is a Microsoft Word file.

    The original text in the customer file looks like

    "Die Abbildung 1 zeigt den Aufbau der TDMA Funktion in den RZ/N1 Bausteinen. "

    as one can see there is no "brick red background" colour indicating anything special- I mentioned it as "Field" in my question mail.

     

    The text representation in the SDL Studio source segment looks like:

    "   "

    as one can see the word "Abbildung 1" here in Studio source segment has a brick red background.

    If I translate the text as "Figure 1 shows the structure of...", Studio shows an error by putting a big red "x" in front of the target segment.

    but at the same time, I cannot do anything about this "brick red background" from the source segment.

    I think I will simply neglect the error and proceed. But it might be something for Studio experts to look into.

     

    To question 2:

    Yep, thanks.

    "CTL+T", "CTL+1" and "CTL+2" all work just perfectly as required.

    My gray cells..... 

     

    Thanks a lot once again for your help.

    Best regards
