Inserting symbols and special characters
You can quickly insert special characters and symbols in the Trados Studio Editor window.
Procedure
- Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
- Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
- Go to the Advanced tab and select Insert Symbol.
- In the dialog, browse through all the available characters (all Unicode characters) and choose the relevant ones from the drop-down list.
- Select Insert.
Results
Your special character is inserted. Once you inserted a character, a new shortcut button appears on the ribbon, which you can use to quickly insert that character without having to browse for it again. There are a maximum of 9 shortcut buttons. The shortcut buttons are automatically kept up-to-date to reflect the 9 most recently used characters.
Be more productive, by using keyboard shortcuts. If you press ALT + A, you will see keyboard hints appearing as in the picture below. So ALT + A + 1 inserts the first character and so on. You can also use ALT + SHIFT + <number> to insert one of the recent characters.
