Hm, this changes the status from unedited to edited AT for me but does not remove AT. This is how I normally manually remove AT scores (delete = empty target segment). Does your 1 assume the top row numbers or number pad? I already have customized ctrl + number pad (x) as a shortcut for entering translation results. As for moving out and back into the target: Studio sometimes has an issue with keeping focus in the cleared target segment, in which case you have to manually do that. Maybe that's why you added it?

 

Hi Lianne, 

It's the 1 in the top row numbers. If you already have Ctrl+1 to insert the 1st translation result, which is what I have as well, what this does is simply add the additional actions to the Ctrl+1 functionality, which is what the tilde before the shortcut does. What happens if you follow each of the steps in the script manually? That can give you a hint of which step isn't working for you. When trying out the steps, remember that ^ is Ctrl and ! is Alt.

Hi Lianne,

To quote a post, look for the Advanced Editing Options link below the Reply box, when you click that, there will be a Quote link just above the reply box.

For the shortcut replacement, did you try ^!;?

Best,

In the meantime, I am also looking for some instructions on how to use these "Discourse" forums, because I don't even know how to quote a post.

So this is how you do it!

Well thank you, Paul!! 

Note that if you use the setting to automatically insert the MT result into the target segment
(Options --> Editor --> Automation, "Apply automated translation when no TM match is found"),
after running this macro the "previous source" is still recorded as MT in the sdlxliff file.

One option might be to use "Undo" before saving.
Here is the macro I tried, which seems to work.
I found that a pause was necessary after undo, otherwise Trados crashes, and you have to end the process via Task Manager.
(because the error message keeps coming back when you click on OK).
You can replace "F2" with the hotkey you would like to use to run the macro:

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Remove AT sign, with Undo
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F2::
Send ^a^c^z
Sleep 500
Send ^v
Return

Another method is to simply move the mouse up, copy the text, and insert it.
For this method, you turn off the setting to automatically insert the MT result into the target segment.
First you have to find out the coordinates of the place you want to click in the results window.
To find the position of the cursor, x and y coordinates, you can run Autohotkey's own utility "AU3_Spy.exe",
which is in the installation folder.
This macro uses "Relative" coordinates so they still work when the Trados panel is moved slightly.
Place the cursor somewhere in the centre of the line in the results panel at the top,
then read off the coordinates in their utility. In my case the coordinates were "871, 273".

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Copy MT text down, with automatic insertion turned off
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F2::
CoordMode,Mouse,Relative
SetDefaultMouseSpeed, 0 ; set to fastest mouse movement
MouseMove, A_CaretX, A_CaretY ; move cursor to text insertion point, caret
MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos ; record coordinates of where cursor is, at xpos, ypos
Click 871, 273 ; clicks at these x, y coordinates, set to relative by coordmode
Send ^a^c ; select all, copy
MouseMove, xpos, ypos ; move the cursor back to original position
Click ; and click in the target segment again
Send ^v ; paste
Return

These macros are not fully tested so first test them on a copy,
and use at your own risk, every configuration is different.
