The Transfer white spaces at beginning and end of source text to translation option is activated by default. This ensures that the number of spaces or line breaks at the beginning or end of a string is not changed by the translator. If, for example, the source text has a line break at the end, the translated text will also always contain precisely one line break. Generally, this means that high translation reliability is achieved. Deactivate this option if it is necessary to insert additional spaces in the translation.

The Validate strings when edited option is deactivated by default. This sets each entry that is translated or edited to For review status so that it is colored blue. Deactivate this option if you want to set the strings you translate or edit to Translated and validated status.

With the option Allow direct editing of strings in the list box activated you can edit the current string in the translation list box by pressing F2 or by clicking the string.

The Emphasize terminology option is deactivated by default. If there is a translation add-in activated that supports terminology highlighting, you will need to activate this option so that appropriate terms are marked with red brackets.

The Check directly after translating a string option carries out a check on an individual string as soon as this has been modified and saved in the translation list. The same options apply as for the check functions to be started manually (see Checking Options).

Select the Check spelling as you type option if you want to search for spelling errors in the background while you work in the translation window. As you type, the spelling checker will automatically check the text and mark any recognized spelling errors with a wavy red underline.

If strings are modified as part of an update you can highlight the differences between the previous and the current version of the source string list by activating the Mark source string differences option. Deleted text is marked with a strikethrough and added text is underlined.
