Good day,

I am still new to Trados 2015, your help is much appreciated.

if I translate one segment, but then need to move the translation to the segment below, How can I make it move down to the segment below without having to cut and paste?

in Atlas for example, we only press Enter and the translation would move below.
In Trados 2015, I cannot figure out how.

Waiting for a reply.
Thanks

Your question is a little unclear. Sep 21, 2018

Welcome to Studio. I hope you find the use of a CAT tool helpful in your endeavour.

But could you please explain in more details what you want?

It sounds like you want the translated segment to be copied to the next segment, what is normally called "propagation". But that is an inbuilt function of Studio.

I wonder if you want the following:
- You finish the translation of one segment.
- You want to move to the next segment automatically so that

I wonder if you want the following:
- You finish the translation of one segment.
- You want to move to the next segment automatically so that you can start translating this. And of course you don't want to use the mouse to do this.

If this is what you want, it's quite simple:
If you want to move to the next segment, you hit Ctr+Alt+Enter
If you want to move to the next untranslated segment, you hit Ctr+Enter

I hope this answers your question.

You could of course ask why would it not be sufficient to use just Enter when finishing a segment. I actually don't really know, as I can see that it could make sense. Perhaps it's to ensure that you actually want to move either to the next segment or to the next untranslated segment, so that this doesn't happen because you hit Enter without meaning to. I'm not sure.

Many thanks for your kind reply.

I already know how to move from one segment to another.

I want to know if Studio can move the words inside a target segment to a below segment without having to cut and past them.

for example.
Let's say I have this sentence in one segment.

"she want to buy some cookies"
I noticed that "some cookies" belongs to the following segment"

In Atlas, I just put the cursor before "some cookies" a

I noticed that "some cookies" belongs to the following segment"

In Atlas, I just put the cursor before "some cookies" and press Enter and the whole words would move below to the following segment without having to cut and paste.

I would appreciate if you know how to do this in Trados,

Warm regards,
