Is there a keyboard shortcut for saving translation and moving to a next _untranslated_ piece, not just the next piece (which may be already translated), like Ctrl+Enter do?
Can you please elaborate on your inquiry?
At which stage of the translating content you what to know if there is a keyboard shortcut?
If you are referring to reviewing automatic translations, then once you press the 'Publish this translation' button, you automatically get to review the next pending translation. Please see the attached screenshot. You can read about reviewing automatic translations here.
Thank you for the response!
I'm asking about manual translation. If there is a 10-part original text and, say, 1st, 3rd and 5th parts already translated from translation memory, is there a shortcut to save&jump to the 4th part after manually translating the 2nd one, not to the 3rd part, that is what Ctrl+Enter does, i.e. not to just the next one, which in this example is already translated and saved, but to the next yet-to-be-translated?
Itamar,
I actually made my own keyboard shortcut for it with AutoHotkey software (Ctrl+B in this example, 1500 1360 are the coordinates of the ATE button to conclude the translation, the result of clicking it -- when not all parts are translated -- is exactly the jumping to the next untranslated, or at least not saved, part):
^b::
{
Send "^{enter}" ; this is Ctrl+Enter to save the translation of a part
Sleep 1000 ; it's just a second to wait for it to be saved
Click "1500 1360" ; and that's a mouse click on the big green button at the bottom right
}
However, I believe the native shortcut could be better))
It has been escalated to our developers. In the future, we will add support for keyboard shortcuts for all actions and allow users to customize those. I don't have an ETA for when this feature will be released. But I'll update you here when I have news about this.
