Answer: This message will be displayed if your system has not properly installed the JRE or JDK.Please download and install the appropriate JRE version for your current operating system from Oracle website.

Answer: You can use CTRL +1, CTRL +2, CTRL +3 (can be customized) for the first three TM matches.

Note: By default, the software only provides these three shortcuts for the first three TM matches. If you need to get other TM matches, you can double-click the corresponding match.

You can use Ctrl+Shift +1, Ctrl+Shift +2, ... Ctrl+Shift +0 (can be customized) for the first 10 TB matches.

Does Heartsome Translation Studio 8.0 support XLIFF files from other CAT tools, such as: Trados, Déjà Vu, memoQ, etc.?

Answer: Heartsome Translation Studio 8.0 treats .sdlxliif, .ttx, .xlf and mqxlz files as source files. This means you can convert them to .hsxliff just like any other file. When you finish the translation, you can convert the .hsxliff files back to the original .sdlxliif, .ttx, .xlf and .mqxlz files.
