Translation Memory |
|
Perform lookup when active segment changes |
When selected, Studio performs a translation memory lookup when the cursor moves to a new segment. |
Apply best match after successful lookup |
When selected, Studio applies the best lookup result to the current segment. This applies only to TM matches by default. To extend this to machine translation enable the Apply automated translation when no TM match is found option. NOTE This option is not applied to segments that have been confirmed or that you have edited. This means that translations in confirmed segments and in segments that you have edited or are editing are not overwritten. |
Apply automated translation when no TM match is found |
When selected and a machine translation match occurs, the match is automatically inserted into the Editor. By default, this is set to off, meaning that the machine translation match will show up in the Translation Results window, but it will not be inserted into the Editor. |
Perform automated translation lookup on confirmed segments |
When selected and you have machine translation as a provider, Studio performs a machine translation lookup when the cursor moves to a confirmed segment. This is disabled by default (note that enabling this will consume characters from the SDL Language Cloud account). This option might prove useful if you want to review a translation using machine translation. |
When selected, Studio will insert the matching translation from the TM into the target segment with no tracked changes applied. |
|
Copy source when no match is found |
Select this if you want the source segment text to be copied to the target segment when there is no translation memory match for the source segment. |
Confirm segment after applying an exact match |
When selected, Studio confirms segments to which it has applied an exact translation memory match or a context match (CM). |
Apply better match if found in TM after merging segments |
When enabled, after merging segments that already contain target content, Studio automatically applies a better match from the translation memory for the new merged source segment. |
After Confirming Segments Manually |
|
Update translation memory |
When selected, Studio adds the segment translation to the translation memory when the translator confirms a translation or when a reviewer approves a translation. |
Enable verification of segment |
When selected, Studio verifies the segment when the translator confirms it. You can also verify the target document at any time by selecting
Review tab > Quality Assurance group >
