Preview Toolbar

The following table describes the options on the Preview toolbar in the Editor view. This toolbar only deals with the options available for external previewing of a document. External previewing opens a document in the application in which it was originally created or an associated application. It allows you to view a snapshot of the generated version of the document being translated in SDL Trados Studio.

By default this toolbar is not displayed. To display this toolbar, select View > Toolbars > Preview from the menu bar.

View in

Select the application you want to open and view the active document in from the View in drop-down list. The Web Browser as HTML option is always available for selection even if the application that the file was originally created in is not installed on your machine. Previewing the SDLXLIFF document as HTML allows you to clearly see the work you have completed without elements such as segment breaks and tags.  

 

NOTE

The applications available from this drop-down list vary depending on what settings are specified in your file filters and what applications are installed on your machine.
