Specifying when Track Changes is enabled automatically

By default, Track Changes is automatically enabled when you open a file for review or sign-off. However, when applying a translation from the translation memory (TM), the content inserted into the target segment from the TM is not tracked as a change.

Procedure

  1. Open a file for review or open a file for sign-off.
  2. In the Options dialog, in the navigation tree, select Editor > Review.
  3. On the right-hand pane, under Track Changes, select when you want track changes to be automatically enabled:
    • When you open a document for translation.
    • When you open a document for review.
    • When you open a document for sign-off.
  4. When Track Changes is enabled, Trados Studio inserts a matching translation from the TM into the target segment, with no tracked changes applied. To change this behavior so that it applies tracked changes:
    1. In the Options dialog, in the navigation tree, select Editor > Automation.
    2. On the right-hand pane, under Translation Memory, clear the Turn off Track Changes when applying TM matches checkbox.
  5. Select OK to save your settings and close the Options dialog.
