Performing terminology lookups

You can search termbases for existing terminology which you can use to translate segments in the current file consistently. In SDL Online Editor, these searches are called lookups.

Procedure

  1. Open the appropriate file in SDL Online Editor.

    If you have the required permissions, the Lookups (Lookups button) pane is displayed on the right side of the screen.

  2. Click the target area of the segment for which you want to find terminology.

    The terminology available for that segment is displayed in the Lookups pane.

  3. If your termbase contains multiple terminology items for the same token, you can choose which one to apply. In the Lookups (Lookups button) pane, double-click the translation you want to apply.
