Hello everyone

Before I continue, allow me to say that Matecat is one of the worst online tools out there. Everything in it seems to have been designed for one purpose: to drive translators up the walls. Whenever the developer had to choose between an option that is more efficient and one that is less efficient, he chose the latter. I suspect he was given a threshold or a quota of inefficiencies to maintain in the product.

Hello everyone

Before I continue, allow me to say that Matecat is one of the worst online tools out there. Everything in it seems to have been designed for one purpose: to drive translators up the walls. Whenever the developer had to choose between an option that is more efficient and one that is less efficient, he chose the latter. I suspect he was given a threshold or a quota of inefficiencies to maintain in the product.

My question is: do you know of a way to export revisions to an Excel sheet? The project I'm working on requires translators and first-level reviewers to examine the reviews and learn from it (and/or comment on it in a separate tool), but this would be much more efficient if we can get the revisions in a format that allows for scanning with the eye, instead of a format that requires one to click, click, click click, wait, click etc. to see anything relevant.

In the mean time, I've created a pair of AutoIt scripts that can do some of this:
