Translation helpers

An important quality aspect of localization is the consistent use of identical terms. Since, depending on the complexity of an application, translation lists can be very extensive, maintaining this consistency represents a great challenge to the translator. Using existing translations speeds up the translating process and gives the translation greater consistency.

Passolo's pre-translation searches for matching translations in translation lists and glossaries. The matches can be inserted in the current translation list automatically or manually. The procedure differs slightly between translation lists and the translation window. In the translation window you also have the option of searching for similar translations (fuzzy matching). The different functions and configuration options are described in the following sections.
