Hi there,

I met a problem, there's one term that I found out I translated differently in one big project which includes many sdlxliffs.

After searching in TM, I found those segments which consist of this term, but the problem is there're over 50 sdlxliffs to check and revise. Do I have to open file one by one and make a search? Or maybe there's an easier way to find out which file contains that term?

Please advise~

Two ways at least... Jul 31, 2014

... both using openexchange applications.

Extended Search: free plugin that adds a button to your ribbon in 2014 allowing you to search multiple files and projects

SDLXLIFF ToolkitExtended Search: free plugin that adds a button to your ribbon in 2014 allowing you to search multiple files and projects

SDLXLIFF Toolkit : free tool for Studio 2014 that in addition to many other things will allow you to search or search/replace across as many files and projects as you like. This tool also supports regular expressions.

Quick Merge Jul 31, 2014

In addition to what Paul has already suggested, you can also use the Quick Merge option of Studio to open all the project files in a single Editor window, filter for the required term (not mandatory, but recommended step), and run a search and replace operation.
