Editing TU text during translation

You can edit any translation unit (TU) text of a translation memory (TM) while translating or reviewing a file, directly from the Editor view.

About this task

When a TM match is found in the file you are translating, the TM match is displayed in the Translation Results window. When a concordance search is performed, the TM match is displayed in the Concordance Search window. You can edit the source and target text of the TUs that are displayed in the Translation Results window and the Concordance Search window. For example, you may want to edit a TU if there is a spelling mistake in the translation or if the translation is incorrect.

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. In the Editor view, in the Translation Results window or Concordance Search window, right-click the TU you want to edit. From the context menu, select Edit Translation Unit.
  4. In the Edit Translation Unit dialog:
    • To edit the source language segment, make a selection inside the Source box and start typing.
    • To edit the target language segment, make a selection inside the Target box and start typing.
  5. Select OK to save your changes and close the Edit Translation Unit dialog.
