Enabling LookAhead

By default, the translation memory (TM) search results are automatically displayed in the Translation Results window, in the Editor view. If you choose to disable the default, automatic behavior of search results, you can enable it back at any time.

About this task

RWS best practices recommend that you keep LookAhead enabled at all times, as it provides you with instant TM search results and term recognition results for long or complex source text.

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, select Enable LookAhead.
