Hi!

I am trying to research potential OCR, or to be exact, a software that would be able to count the words from as many formats as possible and give the results back.

The requirement would be that this software needs to be secure and have API. We are looking to speed up the quoting process by simply getting a rough total word count. We would like to use memoQ only for actual production.

The amount of information available for this topic through google is both too big and too narrow. Maybe you have had a similar need or something like this has caught your eye in the past

Anyone has any idea to round numbers in the open PDF templates in XTRF? 

Our quotes include totals with 3 decimals -> €120,025

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

For classic projects.

It seems like a recent patch introduced a new behavior where empty language combinations are automatically deleted from the project when the last remaining language-dependent task is removed from that language combination.

Case:

If I create a class project with 10 target languages.

I then add task workflows for each target language.

Then at some point I had to delete the task workflows in order to change their workflows.

All 10 target language combinations are now automatically deleted when their tasks are deleted.

I would have to make sure to write down what my target languages were, and manually re-add them.

If the project was launched as a quote from the customer portal. I might have no records of what languages were requested from the quote.

XTRF support confirmed this is an intended behavior, but it didn't used to work like this.

Language combinations without tasks weren't automatically deleted in prior patches.

If XTRF intends to delete language combinations without tasks automatically, shouldn't it be made as an option that can be toggled on or off?

I also cannot find any documentation regarding this change. :(

Hi,

You can add a new client either by adding a client, or from the project creation page (Add project) using the Add Client link. We have a situation where I'd like to add a custom field to the client that I'd like to make compulsory to fill out, and make the entry relatively easy.

My questions are:

- is there a way to make a custom field compulsory, i.e. you cannot enter or save a new client without adding that information? (like in Pipedrive, etc.)

- is there a way to make the data entry easy, i.e. make this field appear on the little form that pops up or the client creation page where only very limited set of data needs to be entered?

Thanks!

I think we are one of the few companies in the Japanese market using XTRF, but we really would like to have a system-side solution for this. The problem with Japanese Yen is that no decimals are being used. There is no 0.1 yen. (Only in stock markets). Therefore, all invoices, POs, quotes need to be rounded to 1 yen. This is difficult when introducing percentage rates for CAT tools. This will almost always result in a decimal on the total. We have had a solution where only the templates would show rounded totals, but this keeps biting us in the ... We can have rounded total on 1 quote, but the system will store the amounts with decimals. So when we invoice for multiple quotes, the invoice totals will sometimes be different from the total amount of the rounded totals on the quotes. This is giving us some trouble with clients, since they have to go back and forth with their financial departments to correct this 1 yen mistakes.

I do understand there is an option to change the number of decimals in the system, but this is system wide. Since we do projects in USD and EUR as well, this is not really an option. Therefore, it would be really helpful if there was an extra setting for the currencies where we can select the amount of decimals for each currency separately. I am guessing there are some other currencies with the same issue (probably Korean Won and others).

We have been told some of this could be solved with a macro, but I think the above solution would work best.

Either way, I am happy to hear if there are people with similar problems.

How can we edit the instructions content formatting and add images to it?

Hello:

we are kind of new in XTRF and we are struggling with the rates, specilizations, etc.

Actually, the thing that everytime you add a language combination, XTRF sets the specialization for that language combination to ANY, makes the system to throw results that we don't want while searching for vendors to be assigned to a job.

We don't really see the point of having a specialization in the language combination level when they are already related in the rates' level.

Would anyone be so kind to give us an example on why the relationship between Language combinations and specializations is good for you? Even tough they are already related in the rates' level (list below in the Rates TAB)?

Thanks a lot for your time.

My best regards.

Juan.

Hi,

Is there a way to set different TM rates for specific jobs?

For example, Translator A is a translator and does proofing as well. For translation jobs he has set default TM rates, that vary according to the match rate type (50-74%, 75-84% ...).

But for proofing all match types (50-74%, 75-84% ...) should be set to 100% of payment. XTRF automatically suggests his default TM rates and we have to manually change them to 100% each time. Is there any way around that?

Kind regards,

Peter

Hi,

Is there a possibility to use filter on a date field to select all items that don(t have a date filled in?

For example search all projects where the actual startdate is empty?

Would it be possible to have external reviewers filling in LISA evaluations and getting those results automatically in the job in Classic Projects?

I think this will be interesting for all those companies with external reviewers working on Classic projects...

Any suggestions??
