Introduction

The Star Transit (TransitPackage Handler) application supports opening a Star Transit package (PPF file) and also the creation of a Star Transit return package (TPF file). It is available for Trados Studio 2017, 2019 and Trados Studio 2021. However, please note that only the 2019 and 2021 versions are currently supported, and only the 2021 version will be further enhanced. The details below are based on the 2021 version.

How to use

1. Installation

The plugin can be installed manually after downloading from the RWS AppStore, or via the integrated appstore (if using Trados Studio 2021 and above)

Once installed please make sure that the transit filetype have been activated in your project templates. You will need to do this for all the templates you are using. If they are not activated you will see this:

Once activated by checking the box and clicking on OK the filetypes will be available here:


2. Open StarTransit package

  • Open Trados Studio and navigate to the Projects view.
  • On the "Home" tab, click on "Open StarTransit Package".

  • Select the .ppf package file you want to export.
  • The StarTransit window will be opened.
  • Select the location where the information from the .ppf package will be exported, a new folder (mandatory).
  • Select a template (mandatory).
  • The other options are not mandatory.

Depending on the type of package, you will see the following two options

If the Transit package doesn't contain TM Metadata- No options related to TM settings will appear

The next step confirms the project is created without TM

Packages with reference files- you will see the option to 'Include Reference Files'

The options allow you to:

  • Create Project without TM
  • Create and import into new TM
  • Import into existing TM
  • Set the Penalty

3. Return StarTransit package

User has the possibility to return the files which were extracted from the StarTransit package, into .tpf Star Transit return package.

  • Select the project which was created based on the StarTrasit package.
  • Select "Return StarTransit package".
  • Select the files which should be returned.
  • Select the encoding which will be used to generate the return files name. (By default the selected encoding is Western European)
  • Select location.
  • Press on the "Create Package" button.

Full list of the available encodings can be found on Microsoft  documention.

Note: We'll not alter the content of the file, we use the encoding just to generate the name of the files.

  • The .tpf file was created into Return package folder

Note

   1. When all files were returned and user click on the "StarTransit return package", the following message will be displayed

   2. In order to repeat the return process, user needs to revert to .sdlxliff(s). The process can be done by opening the files.

Studio Subtitling

Studio Subtitling

By Trados AppStore Team

The Problem this app addressesThe volume of audio visual content for localization is growing rapidly. Turnaround times are getting shorter and many of those working in the industry are feeling increased price pressures in dealing with this sort of content. Translation tools today lack proper context for subtitlers, offering poor support for the variety of file formats.The Solution this app providesThe Studio Subtitling plugin supports enhanced features for audio visual translation, editing, proofing and works synchronously with the Studio editor in support of the following filetypes:- ASS (available here on the RWS AppStore)- SRT (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- webVTT (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- STL (available here on the RWS AppStore)- SBV (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)- TTML (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022)NOTE:The plugin does not work with single document projects, resulting in errors. To use it properly, you need to create standard projects.It is not possible to use the numpad for non-subtitling files if this plugin is installed. This is a limitation of Studio. The workaround is to remove the keyboard shortcuts for numpad in the Studio options. They can be reset when needed by using "Reset to Defaults" in the Subtitling Keyboard shortcut list.Click here to download the TQA model for Trados Studio that is also supported by this plugin.

studioViews

studioViews

By Trados AppStore Team

ProblemSometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don't want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.ResolutionThe solution to all of these requirements is studioViews. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).

Multilingual XML FileType

Free

Multilingual XML FileType

By Trados AppStore Team

- to learn more about the app itself please look in the Multilingual XML FileType wikiThe ProblemSometimes you receive XLIFF files with large dumps of html in CDATA sections, or invalid XLIFF files (still well formed but not recognised as valid XLIFF by Trados Studio), partially translated bilingual XML files, multilingual XML files and all the work this entails in creating settings for each language pair and then attempting to piece them altogether afterwards or even needing to use an html embedded content processor AND regex rules for placeables. If you can recognise these sort of problems then this filetype will bring some welcome relief!The SolutionThe Multilingual XML FileType solves all of these problems and more. Some common usecases for it would be:create bilingual or multilingual projects from an XML file containing at least two languages handle large CDATA dumps in XLIFF files correctly handling well formed, but invalid XLIFF files that Trados Studio will not handle out of the box handle bilingual or multilingual XML files without the need to copy the source into the target element and translate the target element only. handle partially translated bilingual or multilingual XML filesYou can learn more about the app itself in the Multilingual XML FileType wiki.
Post-Edit Compare

Free

Post-Edit Compare

By Trados AppStore Team

Post-Edit Compare is a tool designed to report translation modifications during the post-edit phases of a translation workflow. The tool works by comparing two versions of the same SDLXLIFF file (before and after changes were applied); the files with changes are highlighted and all modifications are included in a comparison report. The comparison report is formatted in a way that simplifies the understanding of what changes were applied from one version of the file to the other, along with a full break down of the modifications and related cost analysis. Improved handling for TERp analysis, much improved and simplified reporting process from the main Studio Projects View, ability to save reports in Excel
