Overview: Create a new translation using the translate single document command

You can specify default settings that are applied when you create a new translation. You can specify:

  • A default source language for new translations. This is useful if you always work with the same source language.
  • A default target language for new translations. This is useful if you always work with the same target language.
  • Whether or not you want to be asked to provide source and target language information when you are creating a new translation.
  • Whether the content of source segments is automatically copied to target segments when you open a document for the first time.
  • Default translation memory selections for each language pair you work with. The translation memories are selected automatically when you create a new translation for the language pair.

The settings are located in the Options dialog box:

  • The option to automatically copy source segment content to target segments is under Editor.
  • The language options are under Editor > Languages.
  • The default translation memory options are under Language Pairs.

The Options dialog box is displayed when you select File > Options from the Ribbon
