Settings for TRADOStag 2.0 files (*.ttx files), as generated by SDL Trados Studio.

Compatibility page

OptionDescription
Treat inline tags as placeholders (disable smart tag pairing)

If you choose to treat all tags as placeholders (standalone tags), opening and closing tags in the *.ttx file are each extracted as standalone tags. If on the other hand, you enable smart tag pairing, the SDL Trados Studio adds closing tags as necessary to ensure that every opening tag has a closing tag in the same segment.

Generate Document Structure Information

If you generate Document Structure information, SDL Trados Studio will use structure tags in the TRADOStag *.ttx document to provide document context. However, the TRADOStag document can contain unpaired document structure information, and when this is the case, the SDL Trados Studio can hang, or generate thousands of spurious context tags. Disable this option if you find problems opening some TRADOStag files.

Confirm all translated segments with match value below 100%

Trados 2007 did not add confirmation information to translated segments. When you open *.ttx files created in Trados 2007, SDL Trados Studio sets all existing segments to Draft as it cannot find confirmation information for these translations.

Enable the Confirm all translated segments with match value below 100% option if you know that the existing translations in your *.ttx document are correct. As a result, SDL Trados Studio sets the status of these segments to Translated.

Include leading/trailing tags in segments

Trados 2007 and earlier attached tags found outside segment boundaries to the translation units (TUs) sent to the translation memories (TMs). In SDL Trados Studio, these tags are moved outside the segment row. In case of tag mismatches, these legacy TMs may not generate expected results.

If you are working with *.ttx files and Trados 2007 TMs, enable the Include leading/trailing tags in segments option to include the tags into the segment content. SDL Trados Studio then imitates the old Trados 2007 behavior and includes the tags in the TM lookups so that you can leverage better the content of your legacy TM.
