Hi
I am translating a document using SDL trados 2011, sentence by sentence. And most of them contain groups of words begining by an uppercase like : "The Great Wired shoes that is blabla can fit so well."
I would to automatically put Great Wired in the right column (translated column) because uppercase words do not need translation, it is time consuming to copy paste them to the righ column.
Any idea?
thanks

Hi louiss,
I would select all the segments with the uppercase text (clicking on the segment number) and then execute Translation > Copy source to target (Ctrl+Ins).
When this is done I would change the status of these segments to "translated".
To do this just keep them all selected and right-click on any of the segment numbers.
Regards,
Lorenzo

Hi Louiss,
you could add the noun as an AutoText entry to use ans then use it in AutoSuggest.
Tools - Options - AutoSuggest - AutoText.
Select the correct target language and add the term.
Then make sure AutoSuggest is enabled and next time if you start typing the first letter(s) of the noun in the target column, the AutoSuggest function allows you to just click on the suggestion in stead of typing it.

| copy to target | Oct 19, 2012 |
Evy's idea is great if you've got a few proper nouns that are repeated a lot. If there are too many to do this, how about copying all your source segments over to the target side and translate from there?
Copy all source to target (Alt+shift+INS)

Ok!
thank you very much for your answers.
| | | | | Insert selected text into target? | Oct 20, 2012 |
Is there any way to quickly inserted selected text from translation results window or source text into the target? I mean easier than copy-paste?
Alt-1, Alt-2... keys are great but they insert the entire unit. Similarly, one can transfer the entire source text into the target but not just parts of it.

Actually, these proper nouns are different in almost every sentence, so I really some fast way to make them auto-suggest or to copy them.

Actually, Emma, is there a way to copy from source to target like ALT+SHIFT+INS but only for the capitalized words?
Another question, if I manage to extract all the proper nouns to a txt file, is it possible to copy paste them to target cells?

thanks Istvan, good idea.
I improved it for my case:
find : \b[a-z_]+\b[\s,.\'\-;:]
replace:
but it does not replace in the whole target only segment by segment (very inconvenient!!)....it seems like trados does not like when I remove the "dot" at the end of the segment...do you know how to work around this?
also this does not remove the first word of the sentence....do you know how to add this to your reg exp search and replace?
thanks

TOPIC STARTER | old, but solved? | Oct 24, 2012 |
thanks John, the first thread has no solution.
I went over the second link and finally I am not sure what is the solution that comes out....CAN variables be defined with a regex??
thank you

Try this modified workaround (check „Match case” and „Use”, select „Regular expressions”):

to delete words beginning with lowercase, as well as numbers.
Find (2):

I do not know if the words to keep can or cannot include the first word of a target segment. If you want to delete the first word of each segment, before Find (1) and Find (2), uncheck „Match case” and do this:

When you have checked by clicking on „Find” that it really finds you want, go back to the beginning of the target text and click on „Replace All” to perform deleting in each target segment in a single step. ▲ Collapse
