Dear Studio 2017 users,
My question may sound a little odd, but I am working on a few Word files with people's names in italics at the end which the client wants them appear in plain text in target language. Is it possible to change the italics formatting in source segment to plain text formatting in target segment? I tried a few ways that I could think of but none of them worked.
Thank you for your advice!

strange..
If I were You, I just delete Tags (head tag and tail tag) part only at target segment

No... exactly the same.

I have learnt one, thanks for Evzen Polenka, "Display Filter > All segments > All content"
This is something new to me.
And, this is somehow ugly and dirty.
-I'm struggling for nice way to use it though not easy.
SDL is a car, for me.
Not so much good and not really bad.
In any case, I drive with it.
But, from time to time I see some people trying to push it or drag it.
In my humble opinion, that is not the proper usage.
-of course, the real reason is provided by car manufacturer.
If I was lucky enough to finish my struggling with that "All content"
I will show that people how to drive a car.
(Actually, I have finished it halfway, but the response is somewhat disappointing)
Enjoy drive..

that's life
today here we have little bit over 40 Celsius degree
it is crazy
that's life too, harder one
-i do not have air conditioner
Done !!
Click once
All the whole segment italic tags are gone forever
-it clears both source and target segments evenly
-never worry, you have backup original sdlxliff there
Enjoy Driving though bad car..
ah.. tested only with simple MS Word
consider it as a good starting point
consider I'm not a professionals (interestingly they all refused/gave up this matter)
"Externalize" is clearly a serious design mistake.
It should be placed inside of it (segments).
Its structure goes like this.
<trans-unit id="59db3c7f-6a57-4a26-b0ba-3aeaa8edd540">
<source>
<g id="17">Mother Mary comes to me</g>
</source>
<seg-source>
<g id="17">
<mrk mtype="seg" mid="2">Mother Mary comes to me</mrk>
</g>
</seg-source>
<target>
<g id="17">
<mrk mtype="seg" mid="2">Mother Mary comes to me</mrk>
</g>
</target>
</trans-unit>
Where "<g id = 17>" is the italic part.

The tags are moved out of the visible text in the editor cell, so that a) they don't pollute the text and translator is not distracted by the tags and can focus on the actual text, and b) the text which subsequently goes into TM is also not polluted by extra tags (which could then later lead to match penalties due to different/missing formatting).
I suppose you don't remember Trados 2007 TagEditor which displayed ALL tags... That got really EXTREMELY messy for taggy files... and I fully understand that translators did not like it.
The idea of externalization was obviously driven by good intentions... but as we know, the road to hell is paved by good intentions, so we now see the consequences... ;-)
