Navigation Toolbar

The lower area of the dialog contains a navigation toolbar containing functions to move through the translation list and to edit a selected entry:

or CTRL+HOME jumps to the start of the translation list.

or CTRL+UP jumps to the previous entry in the translation list. If the translation assistant is turned on, this function will behave as described in Options for the translation assistant.

or CTRL+DOWN jumps to the next entry in the translation list. If the translation assistant is turned on, this function will behave as described in Options for the translation assistant.

or CTRL+END jumps to the end of the translation list.

or CTRL+T validates the entry. Use this button to transfer a string to the target language without translating it, or to confirm that an automatically translated string is correct.

or F8 automatically translates the entry. The program searches for an appropriate translation in the other entries of both the current and any other open project and in the linked glossaries. For further information, please refer to Pre-Translation of individual strings.

or CTRL+F8 searches for translations of similar strings. Depending on where the insertion point is currently positioned, either the string belonging to the currently selected entry in the translation list or the string shown in the translation window will be used. If part of the string is selected in the translation window, SDL Passolo will only look up translations for the selected part. Contrary to translation without fuzzy list, you can also look up translations for strings in the two upper text fields (comment and source string). For further information please refer to Using the fuzzy list.

or Shift+F8 searches for translations of partial strings using the concordance function. Before calling up the concordance function, highlight the section of text you want to find a translation for. For further information please refer to Translating with the Concordance Search.

or CTRL+F5 turns the translation assistant on and off. The translation assistant helps to automate different tasks in connection with the translation of a string list. Depending on the task and the user's preferences, the navigation method and the handling of translated and untranslated strings can be specified. This can help reduce the required number of mouse clicks or keystrokes and thus accelerate the translation process. See Options for the translation assistant.

or CTRL+U undoes (i.e. retracts) the translation. The translated string is replaced by the source string.

adds a translator comment for this entry. Translator comments are saved in the translation list as well as in the source list.

or Alt+A calls up the character table to access special letters, characters, symbols, and paragraph marks that cannot be input directly from the keyboard or via the ANSI code.

calls up the options tab for the configuration of the translation window. See Options for the Translation Window.

On the right side of the navigation bar the number of characters (C) and lines (L) in the source and target strings is displayed. The first number refers to the source string, the second number to the target string.
