Enabling variables

You can configure SDL Trados GroupShare to identify variables in the source text, so that they are found in the target text as such.

Before you begin

Make sure you define the list of recognized variables.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Resources view.
  2. In the Translation Memories tab, select the checkbox for which you want to enable variables.
  3. Select Edit.
  4. In the [translation memory name] dialog, select Advanced Settings.
  5. Under Recognize, select Variables.
  6. Select Finish.

What to do next

When you enable recognition, the TM does not automatically recognize the tokens in existing TUs. To force the TM to re-scan its TUs, re-index the TM by tuning its performance.
