User Interface
Default number of columns in text fields
Numeric field
The width of scrolling text fields in WorldServer. This preference can be overridden by the application.
Default number of rows in text fields
Numeric field
The height of scrolling text fields in WorldServer. This preference can be overridden by the application.
Number of rows per page in tables
Numeric field
The number of rows displayed per page for multi-page tables (such as Users, or the task list in the Project view).
How often to auto refresh pages (in seconds)
Numeric field
The frequency (in seconds) of updating pages with the latest information. Currently, this setting affects the following pages: the Workflow Engine Queue, the Background Jobs page, and the Execution Log page for background jobs. By default, auto-refresh occurs every 10 seconds.
How often to auto save changes (in minutes):
Numeric field
The Browser Workbench periodically saves your work in an internal cache. Every time you do something that causes the page to refresh (for example, move to the next set of segments in a list of pages), WorldServer automatically saves all of your work to this internal cache. When autosave saves, it refreshes the page. By default, autosave saves and refreshes within five minutes of the last refresh. To refresh less often, set this preference to a higher number. Note that you cannot turn off auto save completely by entering 0 in the field; it is not a valid value.
Translation Memory
Minimum score for matches in the Browser Workbench
Drop-down list
The lowest translation memory match percentage that should appear in the Browser Workbench.
Minimum score for matches when exporting
Drop-down list
The lowest translation memory match percentage that should appear in WorldServer Desktop Workbench when exporting a translation memory.
Update translation memory by default when importing
Checkbox
Check to update translation memory with the source and target pairs from off-line translation when importing assets back into WorldServer. You can override this preference as needed during the import process.
Other
Time zone
Drop-down list
The time zone to use when adding timestamps to actions.
Merge tool
Alphanumeric field
The merge tool to use when an automatic merge fails in a versioning merge and rebase action (in WorldServer Explorer). By default, the tool is Beyond Compare, which is supplied with WorldServer. This field specifies the exact command WorldServer should execute on the files to be merged (for example: bc2.exe %file1 %file2).
Regional and Language Options
User Interface Display Language
Drop-down list
The language in which you’d like to display the WorldServer User Interface. The default is United States English.
Regional Settings
Drop-down list
You can select set of regional settings to use when interacting with dates or numbers in WorldServer. Dates and numbers will then display in the format of that region.
This setting has no relationship to the “User Interface Display Language” you choose. These are likely to be different because WorldServer currently supports only two User Interface languages, but many regional settings.
In addition, there is no relationship between your operating system settings and your regional settings in WorldServer. For example, you might have your Windows operating system regional settings set to German, but this has no affect on your WorldServer regional settings.
For details, see the "Regional Settings" topic.
