Inserting red L tags in Studio projects

Inserting red L tags in Studio projects can be a crime:

  • CafeTran Espresso doesn't insert them correctly.
  • Once inserted correctly, CafeTran Espresso doesn't propagate them correctly
  • And what's more: CafeTran Espresso doesn't insert them correctly when using Translate > Insert all Exact Matches.


These are my settings for Auto-assembling:

And these are my settings for Auto-propagation:

Here is a picture from the Grid with many reps. One would expect: translate the first one of a group identical segments, and CafeTran Espresso propagates your translation – including the red L tags – correctly:

However, Auto-assembling produces this segment:

Note that the tags aren't correct.

So I added an icon for Auto tag insertion to my button bar:

It activates a macro that uses a regular expression to copy the tag complex from the source segment and inserts it at the correct position in the target segment:

I can image that this would be a nice addition to CafeTran Espresso too.

Trados May 5

I just checked in Trados: these segments are propagated correctly in Trados.

If only CafeTran Espresso would support that too ...

It would be nice if CafeTran Espresso could do this itself.

Generic use May 18

The procedure can also be used for normal tags. Somehow, CafeTran Espresso has problems with tags around numbers and between brackets:
