Hi there!

I'm totally new to Transit NXT and I don't understand why the source text is displayed in the editors target language window.

When working with Trados Studio I just translate one segment, then use a shortcut to confirm the segment and jump to then next one. After doing that I can start translating the next segment immediately, without having to delete any text first. Is this possible with Transit NXT also?

It would be very much extra work if I would have to mark every segment with the mouse and then delete it before I can even start translating.

I would be very happy if somebody would tell me that there is a workaround for this.

I also wonder: Why doesn't a standard shortcut like Ctrl + A (to mark an entire segment) work in Transit?

Kind regards,

Shortcuts Mar 26, 2015

Hi Thor,

The keyboard shortcut to confirm a segment is Alt+Insert.

Transit leaves the source in the target window for you to overwrite. If you don't like that, though, there is a function which will empty the next segment when you confirm the previous one with Alt+Insert.

Go to the Processing ribbon and click on the "Confirm" drop-down under the big green tick on the left. There should be an option there called "Empty next segment". Select that, and next ti... See more

Hope that helps! ▲ Collapse

Thanks... Mar 26, 2015

Thanks Karen!

The project I'm working on has got an empty line at the end of each segment. So when I use the shortcut Alt + Insert the cursor doesn't jump to the next segment, it just moves to the empty line below (which is a part of the same segment). Are you familiar with this? I found lots of Transit screenshots on Google and other Transit projects doesn't seem to be like this.

That's not something I immediately recognise, sorry. I guess you can't paste a screenshot in here, sadly.
