I despise almost everything about Trados, but this time I've got to give it to them.
In Options > Editor > AutoCorrect you can use "Import Settings" to load your personal autocorrect table, while memoQ and Wordfast Pro don't offer this option (you need to input all the entries one by one).
Does anyone know of a CAT tool that has this batch import option? Anyone ever tried with AutoHotkey or something?

| You can import and export your list in memoQ | Mar 8, 2022 |
When in Editor, press Ctrl+Shift+O, click New list, add two or three items simply to be able to find them visually in the file. Right-click your list and select Export.
Open the all#Your_List_Name.mqres with Notepad++. You can continue the list by adding pairs of values separated with tab. Once done, import it as new (right click your list and select Import New). Change its name by adding 1 for example. When both lists are there, delete the older one.

| Also, you can use an AHK script | Mar 8, 2022 |
but I don't know how to paste it intact.
You can find it here.
The upper script is designed for the installer version of AHK. The lower one is designed for the portable version of AHK.
When you add words with Win+H, they are listed below the 'return' string in the following format:
::input_word::output_word
::next_input_word::next_output_word
::etc::etcetera

Now I feel stupid, it was there all the time, all I had to do was right-click.
Thanks again both Michael and Stepan, you saved my day once more.
And once more, memoQ kicks Trados' rear end, as its process is simpler and you can manage several separate lists simultaneously and independently.

In CafeTran Espresso it's simple like always:
Text shortcuts
Drop-down menu: Blank by default
You can create text shortcuts to expand any given text with a defined character combination. To create a text shortcuts file that you can use across different sessions or projects, you need to first add at least one Text shortcut in Resources > Text shortcuts > Add selection to text shortcuts, then choose Resources > Text shortcuts > List text shortcuts and click the Save button. If you don’t save the shortcuts, they will be working for the current session only. Once saved, the shortcuts file will be available in this drop-down menu.
Saved Text shortcuts files are saved as txt files in cafetran/resources/shortcuts folder (This is on Windows and GNU/Linux. On a Mac, go to Applications and show the CafeTran.app package contents by right-clicking. The folder can be found in /Contents/Java/resources/shortcuts). Multiple shortcuts files can be saved in this folder and selected from the drop-down menu.
Text shortcuts files use the following format (each line is a new shortcut): shortcut=expanded_text
To expand a defined shortcut, you simply type the shortcut and press the Space key.

Note that the 'AutoCorrect' trigger and expansion are separated by an equal sign.
You can have as many AutoCorrect lists as you want. I'm not sure whether they are automatically selected via the Project Templates. If not, you'll have to do this manually.

Yup, when I saw your first post yesterday, it was the first and only reply. Michael's reply was published later, although apparently made earlier.
Anyway, you have a witness here: you BOTH qualify as first responders.

It smells nasty.

When someone breaks the rules repeatedly, his/her posts might become subjected to vetting, approval by a moderator or staff member. The publishing time stamp is the one when the poster, the author of the comment pressed Post reply.
There seems to be no indication of when a post was vetted.
As to the donation thread, there must be some geo-blocking at work.
If possible, I suggest a money donation available to all ProZians should be launched as well.

We should probably also have in mind that our Russian colleagues might find themselves in financial trouble as well. Will there be a way to help them, if needed? ▲ Collapse

You are smarter, Samuel. Thanks for figuring it out.

No. It's here where the difference between "thread" and "forum" becomes relevant. Ah! Ok probably I misunderstood something. So, it is just sort of announcement about a new forum, right? That is why it is locked for everyone. Ok, I admit I got too suspicious this time. I am sorry.
@Daniel Frisano
Thank you
