Documents are translated and reviewed in the Editor window in the Editor view. You can have several documents open at the same time but only the active document can be edited or saved. To edit a target language segment, simply click inside the segment and start typing.
There are several different ways that you can open a document in the Editor window. You can open a document for translation, review or sign-off. The way the editor is configured is determined by the way in which you open the document. The configuration affects the layout of the windows in SDL Trados Studio. The layout is designed to assist you in the different tasks you might perform when translating or reviewing.
The options available on the Translation and Review toolbar and Translation menu also change depending on whether the document is opened for translation or review. For example, if you are translating a document, you can change a segment status to Translated to indicate that the translation is complete. If you are reviewing a document, you can change a segment status to Translation Approved to indicate that the translation is approved.
