Confirming all segments at once

Hi everybody,

It would be great to add a "Confirm all" option to the menu below. Often, at the end of a translation, you have to use the spellchecker and fix some typos or to do some cosmetic adjustments, such as replacing " ' " with " ’ " in the whole document, which can affect many segments, moreover if it is a long translation. Then you have to confirm every modified segment one by one, which can be long. Unless I miss an option somewhere, there is no way to confirm everything at once.

I actually found a solution in the forum, that involves highlighting all the segments, then changing their statuts into "confirmed", then batch updating manually the main TM from the translated file, but it is not really satisfying, since it is not strait forward.

Why not adding a mere Confirm all command in the ribbon?

Trados Studio menu with options to confirm segments individually but no 'Confirm all' option present.

    It is always a good idea to use the Finalize batch at the end. This way you generate target and update the TM.

    When you work with project TMs (as I always do), this is a simple necessity to have your final translations stored in your TM. IMO the habit in working with Studio should be:

    • Open for translation, translate, save
    • Open for revision, make your checks and changes
    • Save copy of the sdlxliff file for tracking of the step done (must be done, if you are ISO certified, can be done for own tracking of work)
    • Accept the changes done, change the status of changed segment to translated
    • Close the file, confirm changing status of all segments
    • Run finalize batch
