Specifying Concordance Search window settings

You can determine the way concordance search results are displayed by specifying several settings.

About this task

The available display options control:
  • The setting for automatically running the concordance search on segments for which no translation memory (TM) match can be found
  • The settings for displaying the field values associated with translation units (TUs)
  • The color used to highlight the concordance search results
  • The font size of the concordance search results

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
  3. Select File > Options.
  4. In the Options dialog, in the navigation tree, select Editor > Concordance Search Window. Specify the Concordance Search Window settings.
    • Select the Perform search if the TM lookup returns no results option, to automatically run the concordance search for the selected segment when the translation memory (TM) search does not generate any results.
    • Select the color from the list in the Search terms highlighting color checkbox, to change the color used to highlight matching text.
    • Select the required font size from the drop-down menus, to change the size of the text in the concordance results.
    • Select the Show translation unit field values checkbox, to show non-default field values in the Concordance Search window. Field values are values that are stored with a new translation when the translation is added to a TM. Some field values contain default information such as the date the translation was added and the name of the person who added it. Default field values are always displayed at the bottom bar of the window. Other field values are the ones that you or your organization defined: a project code or cost code, for example. If you choose to display these, they appear in an extra column that is added to the window.
  5. Select OK to save the settings and close the Options dialog.
