We hope you can join us! Read on to learn more. • • • ## **TMS Connectors** First and foremost, we’re excited to highlight that just last week, we released a suite of TMS Connectors that make integrating Lilt into your current TMS and workflows easier than ever.   Translation Management Systems XTM Connector [web page](https://lilt.com/xtm-cloud) and [additional detail](https://support.lilt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056737473) Smartling [web page](https://lilt.com/smartling) and [additional detail](https://support.lilt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056737293) SDL TMS [web page](https://lilt.com/sdl-tms) and [additional detail](https://support.lilt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056737613) Worldserver [web page](https://lilt.com/sdl-worldserver) and[additional detail](https://support.lilt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056737713) ![XTM Connector screenshot](https://labs.lilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/XTM%20Connector%20screenshot.png?width=500&name=XTM%20Connector%20screenshot.png)(We’re so excited about this that Shaun, our Head of Product, wrote [a blog about it - check it out!](https://labs.lilt.com/lilt-announces-tms-connectors?hsLang=en)) | | --- | | ## **In-App API Key** While customers previously had to ask their Lilt account rep for access, Lilt now has organization-level API keys. These keys can be viewed with three simple steps in Lilt: 1. Select Organization from the main menu 2. Select API Access from the sidebar 3. Copy your API Key API access is a role-based permission; managers can view an organization’s API key, and administrators can view as well as reset. For more information, please check out [Retrieving Your API Key](https://support.lilt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052592574-Retrieving-your-API-key) in our knowledge base. ## **New Tag Hotkeys** We’re always excited to see new hotkey shortcuts that make our linguists faster and more efficient! Translators can now navigate between tags for segments (unconfirmed and confirmed) with the following keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl + \] now navigates to the next tag Ctrl + \[ now navigates to the previous tag For more information, please check out [Tags and Formatting](https://support.lilt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020816073-Tags-and-Formatting) in our knowledge base. ## **BiDi Direction Markers** The CAT editor is now easier to use than ever, with new right-to-left and left-to-right direction marks that indicate adjacent character grouping for text direction.  With the new indicators, text appears as the writer intended. ![BiDi indicators](https://labs.lilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BiDi%20indicators.png?width=500&name=BiDi%20indicators.png) Simply enter one of the markers directly after the word to change its direction.  For more information, please check out [Translator Release Notes](https://support.lilt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047537493-Translator-Release-Notes) in our knowledge base, and this [video demo](https://lilt.wistia.com/medias/qamps918q6) showing how the markers work. ## **Project Cards and Deadlines** Project cards now show the date and time for assignment and project deadlines (rather than just date).  ![Project Deadlines](https://labs.lilt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Project%20Deadlines.png?width=176&name=Project%20Deadlines.png) A new, uniform component for deadline setting also now allows service managers to set the project due date and time in the app, rather than just date. • • • Eager for more?
