How to make text corrections in your source segments

You can correct spelling mistakes or other typos that are in the source segments of a SDL XLIFF document in SDL Trados Studio.

Before you begin

  • Enable source segment editing in the project settings. See How to Enable Source Editing.
  • If the option to edit is still disabled, see the list of Source Editing Restrictions.

To edit a source segment:

Procedure

  1. Place your cursor in the source segment that you want to edit.
  2. Right-click and select Edit Source or press Alt+F2. The segment is surrounded by a orange box to indicate that you can edit the segment.
  3. Make your changes to the source.
  4. When you are finished making your changes, press Alt+F2 to stop editing or simply place your cursor in another location.
  5. If you want to update the original source document with the changes you have to your bilingual SDL XLIFF file, select File > Advanced Save > Save Source As.
