Language Settings: Target is same as source!

Language selection is correct in settings (FR>US ENG). But both the target and the source are appearing in French! The text is exactly the same on both sides. But I want it to appear in US Eng on the right, not in French! I want a translation, not a copy.

  • Hi Annabelle,

    Yes, it's great isn't it, a real time-saver but as you say only if the job needs it.

    Any numbers, codes, or other 'variables', that Studio sees as 'placables' it will automatically copy from the Source and insert in the right place, if the segment already exists in the memory you're using.

    If not, you can use the 'QuickPlace' feature. Place your cursor where you want to copy something to, right click and select 'QuickPlace'. A dropdown menu will appear with a list of any 'placeables' - hopefully the one you need will automatically be at the top of the list if there is more than one possible item - and you can double-click on the item you want, to insert it. Great for accuracy.

    (Instead of right-clicking you can use Ctrl+Alt+Down to do this, which I find quicker)

    Have fun!
    Ali :)
