Multilingual document: how to mark out/tag in real time Thread poster: Gennady Lapardin

Dear Colleagues, Could somebody recommend how to mark out different languages in a document? Does a spell checker-based macro or application or whatever exist, which can mark out the languages in real time?

MS Word automatically recognizes languages in a document. So : In Find/Replace dialog set cursor to "Find" text field, open Format->Language and choose one you need.

Highlighting Italian text and then removing it (Find/Replace "Highlighted" to "") I evaluated the volume of English text. However consider that language recognition is not 100%, especially for non-translatable text (numbers, etc.).

Unfortunately, in my fully and properly licensed MS Word 2003 something there should be missing, since no format replacement takes place even in a couple of lines (one line in English, another in Italian). If I set Italian (with or without spellcheck), it highlights nothing. If I select English US or GB (with or without spellcheck), it highlights both lines. Thank you a lot anyway for your attention, Gennady | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Multilingual document: how to mark out/tag in real time TM-Town | Manage your TMs and Terms ... and boost your translation business
