Applying terminology

You can apply the existing terminology to translate segments in the current file consistently.

About this task

The TM, terminology, and MT (if applicable) results are available in the Lookups panel.

If your terminology includes fields, you can check them in the Lookups panel, below the actual term.

Procedure

  1. Open the appropriate file in Online Editor.

    In the workspace, recognized terms are marked with a red line above their corresponding words. Also, if you have the required permissions, the Lookups (Lookups button) panel is displayed on the right side of the screen.

  2. Select a term and check its translated versions in the Lookups panel, under Terms. At this point, you can:
    • Select the The View term icon in Trados Online Editor. icon next to a term to open that term in the terminology editor. Thus, you can edit the term and make changes to the termbase directly from Online Editor.
    • Apply the most suitable entry by double-clicking it in the Lookups pane.

Results

The terminology is applied to the target segment. Until you confirm it, the target segment has the Draft status.
