To avoid this, you can place your CAT related folders in your Dropbox, which offers versioning (history):

Even when a client withdraws any files, you can still restore them via Dropbox.

Hi there,
I'm starting to use SDL Trados Studio (2019) after doing several courses, both from the manufacturer itself and from third parties, and there's a doubt that's always hanging over my head while I'm translating. We all know that pressing CTRL+INTRO confirms the translation and the segment is sent to memory. However, I don't quite understand why they should be simultaneous actions. What's the point of sending segments such as numbers or links to the translation memory, which apparently won't give me anything? Is there any way to confirm a segment and not send it to the translation memory?
Thanks,
Guillermo. [/quote]

Dear Guillermo,

While mikhailo's solution does the trick, I think you're overthinking this. What harm do those segments do in the TM, as long as they are correct?

Kind regards,

Hi Erik,
what about, for example, sentences/paragraphs in another language than your current language combo? Or endless rows of figures?

Indeed, what about them? While you may want to store segment pairs with a different source language in another TM indeed, storing them in your main TM at least does not do any major harm, does it? Neither do figures. Yes, they will slightly increase the size of your TM, but this really shouldn't matter. And imagine you get a similar document again in the future, containing the same sentences in a third language: You'll be happy to have the translation presented from the TM.

As long as you do create a valid translation, it makes absolute sense to always commit it to the TM, imho.

In the very rare cases where you don't want that, mikhailo's suggestion is the way to go.

You could change the keyboard shortcut for "move to next segment" to something more useful (File > Options > Keyboard Shortcuts > Editor), but although that would prevent the segment from being sent to the TM, it does not confirm the segment. Do you really need to confirm the segment immediately? You can also confirm segments afterwards, you know. Simply filter the segments (Review > All Segments > Unconfirmed), then select the segments by using Shift+click on the segment *numbers* (not the segments themselves), and do the right-click thing.

Why do MemoQ/Cafetran/DVX/WFP5 have a shortcut for not writing unwanted segments to the TM and Studio does not?

Post title: Down arrow

You could say that simply pressing the down arrow will achieve this in SDL Studio: This will simply go to the next segment without committing the translation to the TM (albeit without confirming the segment).

I really don't know why other CAT tools offer a special shortcut for this. The question is: Is there really a need for confirming a segment and at the same time not writing it to the TM? I can't really see it, but if there is, mikhailo has provided a viable solution in Studio.

Post title: Thanks everyone

Thanks to all the answers. You're all very kind for taking time to answer my question.
I've been trying different things, and filters do work really well in Trados, so it might work in this case.
I know Trados is designed to send everything to the translation memory; it just looks a little weird to me to keep numbers or other useless expressions in a memory. The alternative might not be worth in terms of balancing time/quality. I guess it's a matter of practice and what suits you better.
Thank you.

Post title: Could it be a corrupt template?

I'm sorry I haven't helped. The Studio support information includes instructions for dealing with corrupt templates - could this be a line to explore? In any case, the software itself doesn't seem to be the cause.

The SDL support reference is Article [phone removed] .
I hope you can find a solution.

With kind regards,

AHW.

Post title: Commiting to a TM unwanted segments.

This was a great thread for me too! As I was having the same doubts. When you quote book titles and references, you'll want to leave them in the original language. I was not sure to commit them to a TM or not, as well with numbers.
I guess it depends on one's preferences.
Thank you all very much!

An error occurred whilst trying to determine the file version | Key assignments in Studio

Post title: Key assignments in Studio

First, from the (top row) "View" tab, you can access the current key assignments, which you can change.

Secondly, SDL has just announced a new service release for Studio 2019, of which all licensed users have been notified. Before installing this, it is worth scanning the related release notes, which include details of problems ("issues") addressed.

I hope this information may help.

With kind regards, AHW.

How do I inactivate pop-up upon hovering for the right-side panel windows in SDL Trados Studio 2019?

I never use these windows anyway, and even if I would it would still be very annoying when they pop-up if I happen to move the mouse cursor too far to the right.

The panel windows I refer to are these:

It is not a corrupted file, as it's not the only one with this problem.
And it's not Trados, as I tried on 2 PCs. I'll try to send a support ticket or pay an expert.

When they appear, or when you click on them, just close them from the small X at the upper right corner. They should not appear any more. You can call them back from the View ribbon.

Post title: Change segment status

I use a very handy free app called Segment Status Switcher. If, for example, I have segments in other languages, 99% matches, addresses, names, etc. that I don't want in my TM, I apply the Signed Off status, for which I defined a shortcut. If you apply simply the Translated status, if you later review your file, you will have to do this all over again.
I use this function every day.
HTH,
Sandra

Definitely, there is. I always start my work with confirming and locking all untranslatable stuff like numbers, dates, serial / tag id numbers, regular expressions etc. I only need them confirmed but not written in TM.

Hi Guillermo,
In addition to other valuable hints here, and just in case you use the AutoHotKey appllication, you may want to create this script:
================
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe SDLTradosStudio.exe
F12::
SendInput, {Alt}hut
#IfWinActive
Return
================
When this script is running, you can press F12 to confirm a segment without sending it to TM.
