I am working on a document containing many 100% translated matches, which I am supposed to check. Unfortunately Trados jumps from one unconfirmed match to another, skipping all green translated segments. Is there any way to avoid that? Thanks for a quick answer!

Just use the up and down blue arrows Jun 11, 2013

On my version they are just to the left of the green tick pencil that skips over confirmed segments.

Thanks! But it does not work. Jun 11, 2013

It still skips translated and confirmed segments...

I guess I need to change segment status from Translated to Draft or find the setting responsible for jumping to the next unconfirmed (Draft) segment. Any ideas where they could be?

Jumping 100% confirmed segments Jun 11, 2013

Hi Letra,
You can simply use a different keyboard shortcut to Confirm and Move to Next Segment instead of confirming and moving to the next - unconfirmed – segment.

Keyboard shortcuts might differ according to the user profile, so best is to check in the Editor Window under Translation: Confirm and Move to Next Segment CTRL+ALT+ENTER.

Please let me know if this helps you.

Kind regards

Steve

Perfect! It works! Jun 11, 2013

Actually I don't even have to change the key combination. I just use a different one. Thank you, Steve!

Another suggestion ... Jun 11, 2013

Open your file to be translated in Trados Edit mode.
Select "show 100% matches" (or alike).
Trados will show all corresponding 100% matches to you.
Select first segment, then scroll to last segment and, pressing Shift-key, select last desired segment, by clicking on the leftest column on source text - you may see first segment with blue background color and all the other selected ones in yellow background.
Now right-click on the mouse, at the same column, and a context-m

Now right-click on the mouse, at the same column, and a context-menu should appear.
Select something like "change segment status" - some options should appear.
Select your desired option - e.g. change to all selected segments to "translation to be confirmed".

After that, all your selected 100% matches become "to be confirmed".

The same approach could be used to mark segments using a different selection criteria. For example all 100% matches containing the expression 'colour*'.

Thanks! Jun 12, 2013

Actually this is the method I applied from the start. I was just looking for a setting that switches off jumping the confirmed segments. But both ways work good enough. Thank you all!

you might find it easier and faster to simply check all 100% matches first by selecting exact matches filter at the top of the screen. Check them (it will also give you a feel for the terminology) and once you have finished, return to All Segments and then do your translation, skipping will not be a problem because you have already checked everything.

Or, you can skip them at the outset and then read them during the review. In review mode the program does not skip the 100% matches.<

How to filter out high matches Jul 23, 2013

Hi all,

I have a similar issue which I could not manage to solve using the Display filter.

I just want to avoid displaying 95%-100% matches in the editor window so that I don't lose extra time with TM lookup and also don't get tempted to edit them. The point is that I am not supposed to deal with those high matches which are part of the proofreader's tasks and I'm currently only translating.

Is there a way to only display segments from "No match" to 94% ?<

You can do it with 100% matches Jul 23, 2013

or fuzzy matches but I don't think you can distinguish or filter out fuzzies by percentage, it's either all fuzzies or not.
