Why do I see some codes in editor view Thread poster: Umang Dholabhai
|
|---|
I wonder if anyone has encountered codes like "39291e12-00e7-48e2-9182-3bbe7f48d149" in a docx file with tables on being taken up for translation. The segmentation is okay but I see such codes after every segment. I am unable to see these in the original file.
The screenshot looks like this:

In the editor interface, on the left cell it usually indicates what it is when you place your cursor on the letter(s) it shows, such as P (paragraph), T(table), H (heading).
You will find out what it is.

TOPIC STARTER | It is a TC alright but.. | Aug 20, 2016 |
Thank you for your reply eradicate. It is a Table Cell but I could not find it in the docx file. I did try to unhide all. In fact even the text is indicated to be a TC+.

Are there any macros in your file? I'm not really sure, but this could be the reason why those codes appear.

Dear Colleagues,
I would appreciate if anyone can help me hide these codes while I translate. Is there a way to filter them off?

Yes, TC is content on a Word table.
In Word you may try to select the text around a few visible segments and;
- select a big enough font size, like 10, and
- set the text as not hidden (alternatively, set Word application to see the hidden text), and
- select its color as black (I mean, somthing different of the page background colour).
I think the misterious text has to be there!

| Or you can try "remove formats" in word, reimport it to Studio and see how it goes | Aug 21, 2016 |
If this doesn't work, just copy these codes in the target segment. It's not very time consuming.

1. I cannot risk removing formats because probably the translated file is supposed to be re-imported into a CAT by the client.
2. Copying the codes in target is okay, I am worried about the way it has messed with the count/analysis
Thanks eradicate

It seems your code doesn't have any uppercase characters or spaces.
Try this regex in the filter box (Control F6):
^[^A-Z\s]+$
Make sure you have Case Sensitive marked.
In theory none of these codes will appear now.

TOPIC STARTER | Filtered to Display! | Aug 21, 2016 |
Thank you so much Emma. It did work but they get filtered to display. I wish to hide them. BTW, I was going through your website to find a tip only a couple of hours back.
Quirk of fate that you noticed this post.
NB: I did not forget to vote.

Good point. That's because of the second ^ . So, you could remove it: ^[A-Z\s]+$
Or keep the original regex, lock the filtered codes (select all, Ctrl+L) and then filter again by unlocked segments.
P.S. Thanks for your vote!

This is a great idea. Removing ^ did not work. Is there a way to select all? I always did it by clicking Ctrl and the row number. However, there are a thousand segments that would have to be clicked in this case.
Thanks for your time.

Yes, click on the first row number. Press Ctrl+End.
Now click shift+left mouse click when hovering over the last row number.
With all segments selected, press Ctrl+L to lock all.
