Here's one way to confirm all segments: Click segment 2, then shift-click segment 1, then press Ctrl-Enter.

So funny, there's lots of discussion about the needs and the methods, but a much more efficient and up-to-date tool like MemoQ has features lik ethese incorporated  since ages....
Product development with Trados is way behind competition. Some clients force me to use Trados, otherwise I wouldn't even bother to keep it on; MemoQ is so much more flexible, user friendly and efficient.

Well, I fully disagree here. You can confirm all segments in one go in Studio since ages now, too. And when talking about flexibility, there is no other tool on the market allowing me to use my own process, regardless what the customer does think. In memoQ you cannot do that. You cannot mix projects there, you cannot take files from one project into another, you cannot open one file or 10 files or 100 files within a project at once as needed without creating views. Merging or splitting segments is only possible, when allowed by the customer. Locked segments cannot be unlocked, even only to comment them. And many more.

Most of what you say there simply is not true, Jerzy.
If it was possible to confirm all unconfirmed segmenst at once in Trados, we wouldn't have discussions like in this topic. The moreover, the filter (complicated, much more efficient in MemoQ) doesn't even allow to select all unconfirmed segments to start with!
You may have exerienced that locked segments cannot be unlocked in MemoQ, for example, but that can only happen if it's a client project and the the client prohibits you to do so: it's simply a projects setting. But with standard settings it's all free. The creation of a view is a 2 second operation, offering you the flexibility to make your own selections within a project; a great feature. You apparantly don't work with both programs, as I do.

Just to name one single very important basic function that is missing in Trados: one cannot even sort segments as in memoQ. That is because Trados doesn't use a modern database as framework like MemoQ does, but a digital version of the document: wrong starting point....

No, compared to MemoQ the efficiency and flexibility of Trados is absolutely way behind. 
My output in MemoQ is some 30% higher compared to Trados: that sais it all.

You confirm, that unlocking segment ist not possible, as it is project setting. So it is true what I say. But it is useless to discuss, as you are fully convinced with your product. Good luck with it. I have both on my PC (memoQ in the Project Manager version) and still prefer the flexibility of Trados. Another example of inflexibility in memoQ. You need to click every single error message in the QA report. I have never succeeded in moving around with keyboard.

What I compare are customer projects, not individually created projects, as in that terms even an Across is flexible...

And as you say: YOUR output. So this is individual and not really a reason to make a discussion here.

Well, it's useless to discuss indeed, as you deny the facts and choose to twist my words instead. 
Yeah, good luck to you as well, keep your blinkers on... :-)

Your facts, in fact. My facts are different.

Hi Willem Wunderink 

Did you not notice that Jerzy Czopik  is the top Community Leader historically. This means he is recorded as the most expert non-RWS employed user since Trados was first being used and tested via an online cooperation, over many years. 

It disappoints me that you could say that he's not speaking the truth, particularly in reply to a thread that is over a year old. Jerzy's user knowledge is second to none. I have learnt so much from him over the years that, if he gives an explanation of Trados functionality, I know he's right.

You could, instead, ask him to teach you what you don't know about Trados.

Please be kinder in your replies,

All the best,

Ali 

Well Allison, he can be as old as Methusalem and historcally a leader, but is simply not telling the truth:
-unconfirmed segments cannot be filtered, selected and confirmed all at once in Trados (in MemoQ it's done in seconds)
-it's complete nonsense to claim that locking/unlocking cannot be done in MemoQ
As much as you trust him, I know now that he cannot be trusted. I think he likes to preach for his own paraochy, with belivers like yourself, denying the truth (NOT mine, as he untruthfully says: we're talking software features here).
I can only feel deep and sincere disrespect for an untrustworthy person like that.

• You can filter on any kind of segment in Trados Studio and combine the filtering with whatever words, regex or other criteria you need.
  It's not the program fault, if you do not know that.
• I cannot unlock segment in a project from a customer. I can unlock any segment in Trados.
• You can select as many segments in Trados as you wish and confirm them at once. It's not the program fault, if you do not know that. The difference here will only be, that in such case Trados will NOT store the confirmed segments in the TM, you must do that manually. memoQ will store them at once, which is not always the better option.

So you seem to know memoQ very well, but fail to know the basics in Trados.

This said, please stop this discussion here, this is not Facebook. We are here in Trados forum, so it does not really matter what memoQ or other tools can or cannot do. If you need help with anything in Trados, you are very welcome to ask any question here. You may rest assured, that the community here will be pleased to answer. And if a function is not available, you are very welcome to post and idea with the required function.
