The screenshot above has two OCR errors marked. To correct the source in a segment, place your cursor in it and select Edit > Edit Source or press F2 to allow editing. The source segment being edited will have a green highlighted background:
After you are done correcting a source segment, click elsewhere in the editing window; the green highlighting will disappear and the changes will be saved. Here are the two segments after correction:
Lucky memoQ users. With Crados 2011 you cannot change the source text.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's another reason why memoQ doesn't have many users, just mostly fans ;-) Actually, Déjà Vu allows source editing too, and this was something I found myself doing in a great many assignments. It's a very useful feature in any tool.
ReplyDeleteThis is saving me a lot of time today in a very messy text. Thanks for the tip.

ReplyDeleteIs there any possibility to replace all occurences in the source text?
ReplyDeleteNot at this point (version 8.1) directly in the program. However, you can probably export an RTF bilingual, make all the changes you like to the source column and then re-import that. I would make search and replace in the source text of the memoQ translation grid itself a feature request.
DeleteHi. Great tool indeed. Is there a way to export only the *source* text after editing it? Or are these changes implemented in a Word document somewhere as we edit the source text?
ReplyDeleteCopy source to target and export. Unfortunately, this is one "feature" where SDL Trados Studio has provided a simpler means of working (you can always export a source copy without messing up the target - Kilgray ought to add this, really).
