Source Editing

Simon Kemisho

I have allowed source editing in preparing the Project but find that some segments in the Editor interface just would not allow me to edit source text, this option is greyed out. Does anyone know how to sort this out?

    Hi Daniel! I'm not Simon, but I have just had this issue come up and thought I'd reply with my own screenshots to see if you are able to help!

    Here are 3 screenshots in the same XLIFF: 2 of them you can edit the source, and the 3rd you cannot.

    I thought perhaps it was the tags in the source segment that were preventing me from having the Edit Source option, but the segment I've selected in the 2nd screenshot contains tags. The segment in the 1st screenshot is a List Item, which is also what the problem segment (3rd screenshot) is.

    Trados Studio screenshot showing an editable source segment with a list item and tags, context menu open with 'Edit Source' option available.

    Trados Studio screenshot with an editable source segment containing tags, context menu displayed with 'Edit Source' option enabled.

    Trados Studio screenshot of a non-editable source segment listed as a list item, context menu open without the 'Edit Source' option.

    Can you please advise? Many thanks in advance!
