Example

Suppose you have two source string lists in which you want to unify the Cancel string.

For these strings, activate the Unify Replicates option as described above.

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

After the Calculate Unified Replicates operation in the project maintenance dialog the strings are set to read-only, except for the first one. In addition, only the first of the four strings is counted in the statistics.

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

When the master string is translated, its translation and status are carried over to the subsequent replicates

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

... Abbrechen ... Abbrechen ...

... Cancel ... Cancel ...

... Abbrechen ... Abbrechen ...

This last step may not be possible with some strings. For example, if the strings are contained in an exported string list. For this reason it is advisable to carry out the operation Calculate unified replicates in the Project Maintenance dialog before generating the target file. This will then update any missing replicates.
