| View | Description |

This is where you view project reports. The reports provide detailed translation analysis figures which feed directly into the project planning and budgeting process. Click Overview: Generating and Viewing Reports for more details. | |
This is where documents are translated and reviewed. Studio helps you to translate efficiently and consistently by leveraging existing translations from translation memories. Studio also captures new translations as they are created and can either add these to an existing translation memory or create a new one. The translation environment is bilingual; source language segments and the segment translations are displayed side-by-side in a single editor screen. Text is displayed in WYSIWYG format so you can easily see whether formatting has been applied correctly. You can apply formatting, insert tags and special characters from the Ribbon tabs and you can preview the translation in real-time in the Preview window. See Overview: Translating and Reviewing Documents for more details. | |
This is where you create, import and manage translation memories. You can also access the Alignment Tool from this view. The Alignment Tool matches the segments in the legacy source language documents with the translated segments in the target language documents to determine which sentence pairs belong together. It then adds these pairs to your specified translation memory. Check Overview: TM Maintenance for more details about all the actions that you can perform from this view. | |
This is where you review and correct the results of the alignment that Studio performs automatically when you align existing translated documents. For more information about alignment, see . This view is only available when you open an alignment result file ( |
