TM Lifting

By Trados AppStore Team

Free

Description

Trados Studio 2014 SP2 introduced the concept of recognition for alphanumeric placeables.

If you want to update your existing Translation Memories to make use of this feature you have to do two things. First you have to check the Alphanumeric checkbox in "Fields & Settings" in the Translation Memories View and then you have to Re-Index the Translation Memory.

Trados Studio 2017 introduced upLIFT. You need to run your TMs through a two stage process one at a time to be able to prepare them for fragment matching as part of the upLIFT feature. First you build your translation model and then you align the fragments in "Fragment Matching" in the Translation Memories View.

If you have many Translation Memories this exercise could take a long time! The "TM Lifting" application does a few important things:

1. It checks the box and re-indexes the TM if you wish to Reindex the TMs

3. It builds the translation model and aligns the fragments if you wish to prepare for upLIFT

3. It can do this for multiple TMs at the same time

So you can drag and drop your TMs into the application interface and then select "Reindex" or "upLIFT" and leave it to run. It will work as quickly as you have available resources on your computer. There is no progress indicator but rest assured it is working. Both reindexing and upLIFT can take a while, particularly with large TMs.

Installation

If you are using the 2014/2015 versions, these are standalone installers (Reindex Translation Memories) with a shortcut placed on your Desktop -

For version 2017/2019 and 2021, you will find this application as a separate View, within Studio itself-

NOTES:

Before starting the application, we suggest removing TM's from the 'Translation Memory view', as otherwise these may be 'locked' and prevent the application from running smoothly.

Although this application creates a new 'View', allowing you to work on other things in Studio, you might want to consider running this application overnight to ensure maximal system performance especially if you are working with larger TM's.

The Application

Tm Lifting is a plugin that allows the user to UpLift multiple File based TMs and also reIndex File based/Server based TMs.

When you first open the plugin you will see a window with two tabs: "File-Based Translation Memories" and "Server-Based Translation Memories".

Loading File based TMs can be achieved in multiple ways. You can click the "Browse..." button and select your TMs, check the "Load Studio TMs" checkbox to load the TMs you are already using in Trados Studio or by simply dragging and droping the TM in the box on the top-left corner of the screen.

For reindexing or upLifting File based TMs you can check the specific checkbox for the operation and then click the "Process" button. During the operation, progress bar will appear on the top-right corner and also a log with the process in the lower box.

When selecting the "Server-Based Translation Memories" tab a login form will pop-up, in which you are asked to introduce your Groupshare credentials.

After you introduce your credentials, a grid will appear with details regarding every TM from that server. You can observe that the checkboxes on the bottom-left side are disabled, because we only support the reindexing operation for Server based TMs.

To reindex a TM, you have to select the row for that specific TM by clicking the cell from the first column and pressing the "Process" button.

The TM will be scheduled for reindexing in the server and you will notice that the "Status" of that TM was changed to "QUEUED".

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 2021/2022/2024)- webVTT (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022/2024)- STL (available here on the RWS AppStore)- SBV (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022/2024)- TTML (supported out of the box in Trados Studio 2021/2022/2024)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

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

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

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
