Tips for Translators : SDL Trados Studio

How do I print the list of shortcuts for Studio?­

Go to the Welcome view>Home>Show Shortcuts>Print

Does Ctrl+number for selecting a match from the translation results window also work in concordance?­

No, you need to use Ctrl+Alt+F3. Place the cursor in the position in the target segment where you want to insert the term, select the term in the concordance search window and press Ctrl+Alt+F3.

In Studio, I noticed you did not overwrite the source, but wrote from scratch. Do you find this way faster?­

I prefer to start from an empty target segment. However, if a segment has a lot of tags, I find it faster to copy source to target (Ctrl+insert) and overwrite the text between the tags.

If I use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F9 to show the final text in Tracked Changes, how can I revert to the markup text?­

Easy! Switch between final and mark-up display with the same shortcut, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F9. Don’t forget you can customize this very long shortcut in general options: File>Options>Keyboard Shortcuts.

Do any of these time-saving tips make it worth upgrading from Studio 2014 to 2015 in your opinion?

Definitely. AutoCorrect is a new feature in Studio 2015 and it’s made a big difference to my productivity. I’d find it very frustrating to go back to Studio 2014 now.
