Copying source content to target segments

If a source segment contains long numbers or other characters which are easily mistyped, you can copy the entire content of a source segment into the target segment and translate around those characters. Do the same if the segment translation is the same in both the source and in the target language.

Procedure

  1. Open the appropriate file in SDL Online Editor.
  2. Select the target segment to which you want to copy source content.
  3. On the Home tab, in the Segments group, do one of the following:
    • To copy source content only to that particular target segment, select Copy Source to Target > Copy Source to Target.
    • To copy all the content in the source segments to all the target segments, select Copy Source to Target > Copy All Source to Target.
