Hello everyone!

I would like to kindly ask if anyone could help me. I need a shortcut for the 'Get Translation' command in TagEditor cause to use mouse for this purpose takes a lot of time. I would appreciate any help.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Eney,

To the best of my knowledge, there is no shortcut for this function. My version is 6.5.5, would like to know if version 7 has anything new for this.

Hi Jianjun,

Unfortunately I do not know whether this feature is implemented in Trados 7 or not. I have 6.5.5.438 version. I know how to assign this shorcut in Word. But now I have a big project to review in TagEditor and it is a real headache to click mouse button each time I need to paste translation from TM.

Don't know whether you consider this to be a shortcut. I do. After some excercise you get used tot it.

When you hit Alt+B you'll understand all the other shortcuts, fot instance Alt+B, 0 for "Set Close Next no 100% Open Get" (also Alt+Ctrl+Num+).

Thank you Henk! Though this works only in the English keyboard layout, I believe this will bring definite speed-up.

Do it yourself - Shortcuts Oct 8, 2005

I used to recommend MacroMagic to create your own universal shortcuts, but it does not work with TagEditor because of the reserved Alt combinations.

For TagEditor I use MacroX

Alt+shift+insert Oct 17, 2005

The shortcut for 'Get Translation' in TagEditor is 'Alt+Shift+Insert'. In TagEditor, to get the keyboard shortcuts, all you have to do is either click on the 'Workbench' menu or type Alt+b. You will then see a full list of Trados Workbench commands together with the appropriate keyboard shortcut in the dropdown menu.

I have TagEditor 6.5.5, and "Alt+Shift+Insert" does not do anything, nor is it shown in the Alt+b menu.

Which version do you have?

I am using Trados 7 Oct 20, 2005

Hi Harry, I am now using Trados 7, so this must be something that has been changed since the previous version. If you don't have it in 6.5.5, then it must be a new feature; this would also answer Jianjun's question.
