How to "copy source to target" with more segments at a time.

Emi Amber

Hello! I have been searching for this topic on this forum, on Proz forum and on google but without success.

I have some segments that need to be inserted in the target as they are (blood work results) and I want to copy only these particular segments (probbably 30 segments or so), not ALL the segments in the document, or use ctrl + insert 10 ++ times. 

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing a list of blood work results with segment numbers and checkboxes on the right side. Some segments are highlighted.

I have tried to mark the source segments and right click+ use the command/ctrl+insert = doesnt work

I have tried to mark the target segments and right clickuse the command/ctrl+insert = doesnt work 

I have tried to mark both the target od source ... = doesnt work 

I have tried to mark only the middle (status row) between the two...  = doesnt work 

What else can I do??

Is there any way?

    Hello,

    I understand you're looking to copy multiple source segments to target segments in Trados Studio. Unfortunately, Trados Studio does not support copying multiple source segments to target segments at once. The "Copy Source to Target" function works on a per-segment basis.

    However, you can use a workaround to make this process a bit faster:

    Step 1: Navigate to the first segment you want to copy from source to target.

    Step 2: Use the "Copy Source to Target" function (Ctrl+Insert).

    Step 3: Use the "Confirm" function (Ctrl+Enter) to confirm the segment.

    Step 4: Use the "Go to Next Unconfirmed Segment" function (Ctrl+Alt+Enter) to move to the next segment.

    Step 5: Repeat Steps 2-4 for each segment you want to copy from source to target.

    This way, you can quickly move through the segments you need to copy without having to manually navigate to each one.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Best regards,

    Oh my!!! Does not support?! This was really disappointing. 

    I was sure this option was available, and it was only me who didnt know how to use it. 

    Please, consider it while working on the next Trados version  - it should be simple for programmers to create it and soooo NEEDED!!!

    A little not hallucinating enough and then adding some completely useless information!  It is of course possible to copy multiple segments at once. This may help:
