Settings for translations using Single Document Command

You can perform a quick and easy setup for single document translations.

You can specify default settings that are applied when you create a new translation. You can specify:
  • A default source language for new translations, which is useful if you always work with the same source language
  • A default target language for new translations, which is useful if you always work with the same target language
  • Whether or not you want to be asked to provide source and target language information when you are creating a new translation
  • Whether the content of source segments is automatically copied to target segments when you open a file for the first time
  • Default translation memory (TM) selections for each language pair you work with. The TMs are selected automatically when you create a new translation for the language pair.

The settings are displayed when you select File > Options from the Ribbon. In the Options dialog:

  • Go to Editor to automatically copy source segment content to target segments.
  • Go to Editor > Languages to specify language options.
  • Go to Language Pairs to consult or specify the default translation memory (TM) options.
