Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to delete a TU you added to the TM on mistake while you are translating?

In WF Classic, this was easy with the key combination Crtl+Alt+Backspace, but I haven't found yet how to do it with WF Pro.

The TM perspective is not working at all, so that is not an option (I'm not able to show the latest translation, it gives me automatically the oldest translations, and I can't seem to change that).

Thank you in advance,

Use TM Perspective tab Mar 19, 2016

On your left there's a toolbar with perspectives. Open the TM Perspective and click on a given TM. The first column has checkboxes. Mark the offending segment and press Alt+D or click the red button with an X in the top toolbar. Voila! The bad segment is gone.

Default settings let you view only the first 2000 segments. There's a search function which may work beyond the opened 2k segments, but I don't know if it works that way.

Fortunately, you can change the value by clicking the Open TM Admin Preferences (a gear icon in the top toolbar) and keying in the number of segments you want to be retrieved.

I wish you could edit segments, but oh, well. ▲ Collapse

Oh, I wrote all that but Mar 19, 2016

... now I've realized you said, your TM Perspective doesn't work. I wonder what happened, as I don't remember having any issues with it.

Also if you have some old version of a segment, you might want to check your settings on updating the TM.

Dear Aelf,

Thanks for your effort anyway

I have no idea what happened with the TM perspective. It is like this since the beginning. The same thing with my colleagues, unfortunately.

What I do now, is I delete the segment from the .txt file, but that is more annoying than it should be. It really was very easy with WF Classic, I don't understand why they removed this option from WF Pro (as they... See more

What I do now, is I delete the segment from the .txt file, but that is more annoying than it should be. It really was very easy with WF Classic, I don't understand why they removed this option from WF Pro (as they did with some other very useful features of WF Classic. It remains a mystery for me why they couldn't integrate the good things from WF Classic into WF Pro)

Kind regards,

Dear Katleen,

I agree that this would be nice to have and reported this feature request in September 2015. It is being tracked and we hope to implement it soon. I just left a note to notify everyone in this forum post once it has been implemented.

Thanks for your feedback.

Kind regards,

John
