Hi,

I sometimes translate technical documentation with tables containing names of data scripts etc. The names are not translated, just copied from source to target language (Ctrl+Shift+S). Whenever I do this I get a "Target identical to source" warning and have to click "Yes" to confirm the segment. This is of course a useful warning in most cases but it does get a bit tedious when I have to do it 50 times in a row.

Hi,

I sometimes translate technical documentation with tables containing names of data scripts etc. The names are not translated, just copied from source to target language (Ctrl+Shift+S). Whenever I do this I get a "Target identical to source" warning and have to click "Yes" to confirm the segment. This is of course a useful warning in most cases but it does get a bit tedious when I have to do it 50 times in a row.

Is there a way around this? For example, is it possible to set up an "alternative confirm" hot key configuration, say Ctrl+Shift+Return, to confirm segments with identical source and target texts?

I'm running memoQ Translator Pro 4.5.78. ▲ Collapse

Edit the QA settings Feb 3, 2012

Hi,

You could edit the QA settings. Click on Resource Console (Tools menu), then on QA settings. Clone the default settings and edit the cloned version. You'll find "Warn if target segment equals source segment" on the Segments and Terms tab.

To select the QA settings for your project, click on View/Translation Documents/Settings/QA settings.

Hope this helps!

Go to Tools - Options - Miscellaneous and untick 'Warn when confirming segments with identical source and target'.

Hope this helps,
