How do you perform QuickMerge? Simply select a group of files in the target file view and press Enter to open them as a single вЂњvirtuallyвЂќ merged file.ДЄ few useful tricks to know when youвЂ™re using QuickMerge:

I opened them all with QuickMerge and found it immediately with Ctrl+F. The other day I wanted to change something in a set of files IвЂ™d translated, but I couldnвЂ™t remember which file it was in. In addition to the old feature of merging files together when you create a new project, Studio 2014 now lets you merge any files together on the fly in a virtual way, with all the advantages that this brings in terms of auto-propagation, spell-checking, etc.

And a different sort of speed improvement: To access general Studio settings, simply press Alt+F followed by T.

The progress bar no longer falls asleep at 95% when I add a file to a project. In Studio 2014 IвЂ™ve noticed improved speed in these areas: DonвЂ™t miss the useful feature immediately above this option, where you can choose whether to import Word comments into Studio as translatable text or as Studio comments. And it has returned bigger and better! You can choose to вЂњRetain Studio target comments in target fileвЂќ under File Tab>Options>File Types>Microsoft Word 2007-2013>Common. The comments feature has at last been brought back after disappearing a year ago. If youвЂ™re translating a segment you can easily switch the focus to the filter display by clicking Ctrl+F6. ItвЂ™s nice to have these details on permanent display down here: Keep an eye on the current filter down in the status bar at the bottom of the screen and double click the icon to call up the filter display in the ribbon. The workaround until this is corrected is to type any letter, then your real search in uppercase and then delete the prefixed letter. If youвЂ™re using the вЂњcase sensitiveвЂќ options, right now Studio canвЂ™t cope with a search that starts with an uppercase letter. This is excellent for checking that auto-propagation has been performed correctly (yes, AP does get hiccups sometimes). It hasВ been expanded in Studio 2014 and the old вЂњduplicateвЂќ filter has been replaced with a вЂњrepetitionsвЂќ filter. The display filter is located under the Review Tab in the ribbon. Just a minor detail, but it speeds up your work!

When youвЂ™re translating, after confirming a segment, Studio now skips locked segments and goes to the next unlocked segment.

Select the segments and toggle between the two using Ctrl+L.

In the Editor View, you can now set the status of a group of adjacent segments as locked or unlocked even if they have a mixture of locked/unlocked segments inside them.

By locking these segments during вЂњpre-translateвЂќ I can just concentrate on the remaining 5,000 words that IвЂ™ve got left to do. IвЂ™ve just set up a project that has 75,000 words in 100% matches from a previous job I did. ItвЂ™s not just agencies that benefit from this.

If you work with those terrible agencies that donвЂ™t pay you to translate 100% matches, you can now lock them in the pre-translation task to make sure you donвЂ™t go near them.

There are three improvements in this area. And while IвЂ™m on the subject of analysing files, you can now report locked segments separately in the analysis. Studio saves it in the background so that batch tasks are immediately available. You can now do a quick analysis on a new file by simply opening it in Studio ( Welcome View>Translate Single Document). To do this, select вЂњExport to Workbench-optimized TMX format for use in Trados 2007вЂќ in the TMX export wizard.

If you work with Trados 2007 buffs who want your TM returned with field values and all, you can now export your studio TM to TMX and carry over your text fields and attributes.

So the transition when you upgrade will be smoother than between 20 (where projects are only compatible if you select the right option in advance).

Studio 20 use the same project and package formats. ThereвЂ™s also a link to the OpenExchange App Store right there.ДЄnd, if you use the new Menu Maker app, you can even customise the list of apps in the Welcome view. Now, I just go to the Studio Welcome View, and the left-hand menu lists all the apps that can be launched with a single click. I used to keep a bunch of these apps on my desktop and had to search for the right one each time. You can now launch OpenExchange apps directly from Studio. Again, thereвЂ™s lots to talk about, so IвЂ™ll concentrate on the following topics: In this follow-up to last weekвЂ™s post on SDL Trados Studio 2014: new features for beginners, IвЂ™m going to look at details that may be useful for people who already know their way around Studio.
