Hello,
I am using Trados 2017 and I am using optional/soft hyphens.
Unfortunately the optional hyphen, the nonbreaking hyphen and the normal hyphen look exactly the same in my editor window.
They act differently as when I search for any one of them I only get that one. But I would like to see the differences in the text that I'm typing.
Any solution?
Regards, Heleen

There is a workaround at least if you need it.
On the spaces... perhaps it's the type of file you are translating? I tested with a word file and I see this sort of thing:
I just ran across the top menu so this is:
... and in that order. I can see a difference between them using a DOCX as the source file. What do you see and wht is the source file?

Unknown said:So just the non-breaking and optional look the same in the sdlxliff source file, namely a hyphen.
As to the QuickInsert: I also tried the workaround. In my sdlxliff (Project Settings -> File Types -> SDL XLIFF) I don't have the QuickInsert option, so can't change it.
If you are opening an sdlxliff file as source then the quick inserts are determined by whatever the original source file was. You cannot change these, and not should you be able to. Not all source files can support all of the options you are looking for.

Definitley not!
