Lingotek tasks grid

Lets take a look at the grid. Here are displayed available tasks, if the row is grey this means the task is disabled because it was checked out for a user and you are not able to create a Studio Project with it.

Click on expand filter button to see more options to filter tasks. All the dates displayed in the grid are shown based on user time zone. Please make sure in Lingotek web application you select the same time zone in order to see the same dates.

Navigation area

You can select how many tasks you want to see on page.

For performance reasons we set the size to be 10 by default.

To see next / previous page click on arrow buttons.

For performance reasons we cache the tasks for each page you navigate. This means if you already navigated on 4 pages when you click on "Previews" button the grid will be populated instantly.

How to create a Studio Project

After you click on "Create project" action, Studio wizard for project creation will appear. The settings will already be filled with the language pairs and project files. Please make sure you change the project name.

If you are using a custom template please make sure the language pair is the same with the file language pair.

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.). To learn how to use this application, please check the Documentation tab.

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
