New videos

[Hans List]

Hi guys,

I've just watched the videos created by Igor and voice-overed by Adrian.

Adrian, I must say, it is very pleasant to listen to the easy way you are explaining. Both to you and Igor: this definitely is the way to go, guys!!!

I even learned something: type the tag number and press escape to transform it to a real tag.

Yet another example of how translator/editor focussed CT is. Marvelous!

Cheers,

Hans

Hi Hans,

F3 is easier to use. Between Alt-9 does not work with numberpad but
only with the number keys on the keyboard.

"If there are any numbered tags that represent formatting in the
source segment, you need to transfer them to the target segment. The
tags are easily transferred by typing the tag number in the target
segment and pressing the Esc key. You can also use keyboard shortcuts
F3 to choose a tag for transfer or Alt-9 to transfer a current tag."

I wonder if we can see what is in a tag, e.g. 1 stands for bold and 2
represents end of bold formatting.
And can we change the order of tags, e.g. first 3 TEXT 4 and then 1
TEXT 2?

Cheers,

Selcuk

Hi Selcuk,

Mostly, you can see what it stands for in the Document window (docked on
the right-hand side in the video). Some tags represent other things than
formatting such as cells, tables. Then, you will need to open the document
in its application to see exactly what it represents.

> TEXT 2?

Tags are grouped in CafeTran to avoid so-called tag-soup. Try to OCR a
document and open it in CT. I guess it will give you satisfactory results
depending on the OCR software (I do tests based on Abby Fine-Reader).
CafeTran makes sure that the source tags correspond target tags so even if
you change the tag order the program may reverse it to maintain the tag
grouping. I realize that there are rare cases when the source formatting
does not need to correspond target formatting (to skip a bold or italics
format in target, for example). Currently, you need to translate the
source format into the target format as well in the program.
