I am working on an 8,000-plus segment file in Studio 2019 SR2. By my standards this is an unusually large file. I have many 100% matches. After confirming such a match, Studio will often throw up a "Auto-propagating translation" notice. This takes several seconds.

Is there a way around this, or a better approach? I do want propagation, of course, but it's also slowing me down.

Regards,
Dan

"Options" Jul 16, 2022

I believe you need to go to "File", select "Options" and set "Never - always auto-propagate translations without prompting user".
Please check if your settings are similar to these:

Capturar

That way, I think you can avoid that prompt that makes you slow down your translation.
I hope it helps!

Thank you for that expressis. Having experimented a bit, I realise that I am being unrealistic in my expectations. What I really want is a kind of background auto-propagation that doesn't steal the focus, which I guess isn't going to happen until Studio becomes properly multi-threaded. The current settings seem to be, essentially, an on/off switch.

I have been able to reduce the impact by bulk-copying the many segments that consist of numbers and confirming them en masse. This works to an extent, and for certain very simple strings, but it still leaves me with a lot to do. Oh well. Onwards and upwards.

Regards,
Dan

Regex Jul 17, 2022

Probably you know that but just in case... You can use regex like ^[\d.]+$ for segments that only contain numbers with dots.
Or something like this:
^\P{L}*\d\P{L}*$
or even this
^\P{L}*\d\P{L}* .+$
When I work with bigger projects, I always begin with these regular expressions to find, handle and lock all such short/number-only segments.

Thank you Stepan, I do something similar for numbers with commas - don't tend to get that many decimals, but will certainly give this a go.

A valuable help from Stepan, and not underestimating other colleagues.
Thanks to everyone who helps us with the "problems" we encounter with our CAT tools on a daily basis.
