Fix many missing bookmarks at a time?

Ingrid

Hi there :)

I already asked a quite awkward question about italicizing, and now need to ask another one about bookmarks.

I need to review a file sent by a translator as a package. This file is quite big (about 10.000 segments) with multiple tags, and I may not change it (split).

For some reason I cannot begin to fathom, every bookmark at the beginnning of the different Articles have been deleted in the translation. The "verify"-function reported them all as missing, which is fine. But I am now looking for a way to tell SDL "yes, I know, please fix them all for me" instead of having to replace them one by one in each of the 756 segments.

Any inputs on this?

    Hi Evzen,

     

    Thank you for your answer :) I don't know how to "quote", so I'll just copy-paste the parts I need to answer to.

     

    sort the messages by clicking on the column header and then selectively ignore (i.e. remove from the list) only those message you want (rightclik on the message and see the menu..
    Yes, this is what I am doing at the moment. But SDL needs about 10seconds to process each "ignore"-setting, and I have over 8.000 messages to deal with....

    Studio cannot recognize that the italicized target word is exactly the translated source italicized word and not any other one.
    Sorry, I must have been very unclear: SDL reports lots of segments as "italic tag missing" although there is indeed an italic tag both in the source AND in the target. The only difference is that the translator didn't use the QuickInsert function to insert the italic tags from the source to the target, so I had to italicize everything afterwards, using the "italic"-function in the editor.

    It seems SDL does not recognize both formats as one "italic"-format, but as 2 different formattings although they look exactly the same and bear the same tag codes. I don't know why. As a result, I got those 8.000+ error messages, where more than half of them are in fact no issue at all. My point was how to tell SDL that italic is italic, no matter if it has been copied from the source or edited afterwards.

     

    The tag verification uses simple common-sense logic - all tags present in source are expected to exist in target. Period.
    Yes, and it would be very nice if it would indeed work that way, but it doesn't! SDL reports missing italic tags where there are in fact italic tags in the target as well as in the source. It wouldn't be an issue to read each and everyone of them if it were a smaller text - but it's another game entirely with a 10.000 segments-file full of tags (about 30.000 in all).

    Hi Hoon,

    Sorry for having been quiet for so long - I had to finish that file quickly and had not one minute to spare for anything else - including eating, as it is ;)

    I tried your new plugin, and it works WONDERFULLY: I am now able to italicize whatever I want in one go and then save the work! :D:D:D
    The QA-plugin indeed does something as a background task, but SDL shows no result whatsoever, either in the "message"-Window or in the Review View...

    Either way, thank you for your kind help! :)
