6 Click the Files button in the lower left corner of the application to switch to the Files view. For each file the total number of words is shown in the column. A Progress bar indicates whether a file has pre-translated content (if applicable). In the above example, the Microsoft PowerPoint document has been 22% pre-translated by the person who sent you the package.

7 Sometimes there are more than one matches found in the TM and shown in the Translation Results window. By default, SDL Trados Studio 2009 always suggests the highest match. You can switch between the TM matches by clicking the buttons Select Next Match and Select Previous Match. This will highlight the selected match in the Translation Results window and insert the corresponding target segment into the target cell.

8 Take note of the words in the source segments that are highlighted with red bracketed lines. These red lines are used to point out words that have been found in the termbase. While typing the first letters of a target term and as soon as there is no a TM match, then a QuickPlace list opens, and suggests possible translations.

9 The recognized terms and their translations are displayed in the Term Recognition window next to the Translation Results window. You can insert the term into your translation.

10 You can view term details and this opens the termbase viewer: You can add a new term there or edit an entry.

12 SDL Trados Studio 2009 supports numerous file formats, e.g. Microsoft Office, Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe InDesign. SDL Trados Studio uses file format filters to extract translatable text from the source documents. Microsoft PowerPoint documents can contain speaker notes, which sometimes may require translating, but sometimes need to stay unchanged. Speaker notes are not available in other formats such as Microsoft Word. By default, SDL Trados Studio 2009 exposes as much translatable text as possible. This also includes the speaker notes in a PPTX file.

Click the button Open Document. Select the file New_features.pptx from your folder TRADOS. In the Open Document dialog box make sure that the correct SL and TL are selected.

Click the Advanced button in the lower-left corner of the Open Document dialog box. This opens the Project Template Settings - Default dialog box. Click File Types in the tree on the left-hand side. The File Types branch on the left-hand side lists a number of file formats, which are supported by SDL Trados Studio Select Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 (double click) from the list. This will show links to various settings that you can configure for the selected format. Click the Notes and shapes link to open the corresponding settings. In the dropdown list of Include notes, select Exclude notes, so that the notes are not presented for translation.

14 The speaker note text will not be removed from the document. When you generate the translation in the native file format, the speaker note will still be available in the original English version. The speaker note content is just not exposed for editing or translation.

You need to change the file type settings before opening and translating a document. Once you have started editing a document, you cannot change the file type settings. 1. Open the sample document.

16 SDL Trados Studio 2009 provides functionality to check translations for potential problems such as number and punctuation errors. The QA check can work in two ways: In real-time, i.e. upon confirming a translation, the target segment is instantly checked for a number of specified QA criteria. In batch mode, i.e. a QA check is performed on the whole document after translation.

17 Click Open Document. You will find the document in your sample files folder. The above folder contains partly pre-translated SDLXLIFF files. Select the document that contains your preferred language pair. In the Open Document dialog box click the Advanced button. In the Project Template Settings - Default dialog box select Verification -> QA Checker 3.0 on the right-hand side. Click Segment Verification and take a look at the options on the right-hand side of the dialog box. The option Check for forgotten and empty translations is active by default.

This will verify whether repeated segments within a document have been translated differently/inconsistently. Also, activate Check for repeated words in target. This will point you to target segments with accidentally repeated words, e.g. you you said that.

19 Click the Punctuation link to display another set of options. Activate the option Check that source and target end with the same punctuation. When you activate this setting, SDL Trados Studio 2009 will e.g. report segments that end with a question mark in the source segment, but with an exclamation mark in the target segment.
