Enabling manual translation lookups

By default, a lookup is performed automatically in the translation memory (TM) when you place your cursor in a segment. However, you can perform translation lookups manually if you enable this option.

About this task

When you enable manual translation lookups, you disable automatic translation lookups.

Procedure

  1. Go to File, and select Options.
  2. In the Options dialog, in the navigation tree, expand Editor.
  3. Select Automation.
  4. Under Translation Memory, clear the Perform lookup when active segment changes checkbox.
    Clearing the Perform lookup when active segment changes checkbox disables the following options:
    • Apply best match after successful lookup
    • Apply automated translation when no TM match is found
    • Perform automated translation lookup on confirmed segments
    • Turn off Track Changes when applying TM matches
