About Tags
- About Inline tags
Inline tags are colored purple by default. These tags may represent formatting information (such as bold), surround hyperlinks or other markers, and may appear inside the text. Most inline tags can be moved around inside the sentence to suit the translation. Depending on the file format, some inline tags can be added or deleted as required. - About Structure tags
Structure tags typically represent structural information, for example, paragraph styles, anchored frames and tables. These tags and their content are completely ignored during translation and can only appear outside sentences. Only structure tags marking the beginning and end of a file are displayed. Certain properties of structure tags are displayed in the document structure column, for example, headings may be associated with a formatting style that is used in the editor. In some cases, if there is no structure context displayed in the document structure column, the only visible impact to your document is the way that the document is segmented. - About Break tags
A break tag occurs where a new line (and a new paragraph) has been deliberately started (usually by pressing Enter). By default, segments end where a break tag has been inserted. - About inserting tags into the target segment
You can insert tags in a number of different ways: - About Tag Protection
Tag protection is designed to prevent you from deleting tags in the target document. It is important to replicate the tag content of the source document, as otherwise your target document may not be able to be properly recreated after translation. - About tag display mode
Tags are usually shown with some text on them, to make it easier to understand what they represent. SDL Trados Studio allows you to choose whether tag text is displayed fully, partially or not at all by using the commands from the View tab > Options group in the Editor view. By default, tag text is only partially displayed. - About Showing/Hiding formatting tags
You can set the Formatting display style option in the Options dialog box to show or hide commonly recognized tags, such as bold and italics, for example. - About Ghost tags
A ghost tag is a marker tag that is automatically added to a segment when the segment contains an incomplete tag pair. For example, if you delete a tag that is one half of a pair, the system will automatically display a ghost tag until you replace the missing tag. Ghost tags only occur in tag pairs, as only tag pairs require a beginning and an end tag to function correctly. - About QuickPlace
QuickPlace is a feature which can be used to speed up how recognized tokens from a source segment are inserted into a target segment in the Editor window in the Editor view. Recognized tokens can include text formatting, tags, numbers, variables and dates. - About using QuickInsert to insert tags
Use the commands on the QuickInsert group to quickly insert tags and special characters into target segments during translation.
