Translation Menu - Editor View

Position the cursor in a target segment, and select this to activate that row.

When a row is active you can edit that target segment.

Normally, SDL Trados Studio uses implicit row activation. That is, when you position the cursor in a row, SDL Trados Studio activates that row. You only need to use this command if you have switched off implicit row activation. To switch implicit row activation on and off, click Tools> Options> Editor> Enable Implicit Row Activation.

Select this to update the translation memory with a new (duplicate) translation.

You must perform this action prior to confirming the translation otherwise it will automatically edit the existing translation when it is confirmed instead of adding the translation as new.

Select this to copy the currently selected translation from the Translation Results window into the current target segment.

Select this to remove the content from all target segments that have a status of Draft.

Select this to remove all content from the target segment.

Select this to search the translation memory for segments that contain text you have selected:

If the selected text is in a source segment, SDL Trados Studio searches the translation memory source segments.

If the selected text is in a target segment, SDL Trados Studio searches the translation memory target segments.

The results are displayed in the Concordance Search window.

NOTE

Concordance searching might not be enabled for the target language: when a user creates a translation memory, they can choose to disable concordance searching on the target language.
