Change When Track changes is automatically turned on or off

By default, Track Changes is automatically on when you open a document for review or sign-off. However, when applying a translation from the TM, the content inserted into the target segment from the TM is not tracked as a change.

About this task

To turn it on:

Procedure

  1. Select File > Options. The Options dialog box is displayed.
  2. Select Editor > Review from the navigation tree.
  3. On the right-hand pane, under Track Changes, select when you want track changes to be automatically turned on:
    • When you open a document for translation.
    • When you open a document for review.
    • When you open a document for sign-off.
  4. When Track Changes is turned on, SDL Trados Studio will insert a matching translation from the TM into the target segment with no tracked changes applied. To change this behavior so that it applies tracked changes:
    • Select Editor > Automation from the navigation tree.
    • On the right-hand pane, under Translation Memory, clear the check box next to the Turn off Track Changes when applying TM matches option.
  5. Click OK to save your settings and close the Options dialog box.
