This has been driving me mad as well.

I found an external solution that makes the left ALT key function as the right ALTGr key, which may lead to some shortcuts not working or working in a different way, but the annoying triggering of the ribbon menu will be gone.

I use GlovePie for this. It's a programmable input emulator. Just google it.

This is script you need:

Key.RightAlt = swallow(Keyboard.LeftAlt)

Run the program, put the text in and press "Run" and it'll work. You can then save the script.

To keep from having to open the program and loading the script again everytime I run Trados Studio, I created a simple bat file with the following contents:

start glovepie.exe -nameofscript

exit

The bat file and the script file have to be in the same folder as the glovepie.exe, otherwise it won't work. When you're done, just create a shortcut for the bat file and put it on your desktop to have easy access to it.

I hope this helps.

I use an AutoHotkey script to trigger GT4T inside Trados Studio. However, my shortcut is Alt+G, so it triggers the stupid ribbon in Studio every time I press my shortcut. It works fine, but is annoying.

I managed to stop this from happening by inserting this one line in my script: "Send {Esc}" .

Script before:

!g::
; GT4T = Ctrl alt win j: translate with a multi-engine window.
SendInput ^!#j
return

Script after:

!g::
Send {Esc}
; GT4T = Ctrl alt win j: translate with a multi-engine window.
SendInput ^!#j
return
