Perform search if the TM lookup returns no results | Select this option if you want Trados Studio to automatically run a concordance search when the TM search for the current segment generates no results. When Trados Studio finishes the TM lookup and does not find any results, the Concordance Search window automatically opens to display the concordance results for the current segment. If you want to perform a concordance search on part of the segment only, select some text in the source language segment and press F3. By default, this option is disabled. |
