Performing manual lookups

You can perform manual lookups in translation memories (TMs), and then you can apply TM matches to your active file, in the Editor view. Manual lookups can be performed when the default, automatic lookup option is disabled.

About this task

To apply repaired or un-repaired translation results, you must make sure Match Repair is enabled.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
  3. Place the cursor in any area of the source text.
  4. In the Editor view, in the Advanced toolbar, select Lookup Translations. If any matches are found, they are displayed in the Translation Results window. The first (best) match is displayed in full, other matches are minimized.
  5. If more than one match is found, in the Translation Results window, view the other matches by selecting Select Next Match or Select Previous Match. Alternatively, you can press Alt+PageUp and Alt+PageDown.

What to do next

You can now apply your lookup results. In the Translation Results window, decide which match you want to apply to your translation: Apply Translation Result or Apply Translation without upLIFT Repair.
