The Settings window is divided into three tabs; Main tab, Auto Propagation tab, and TM Settings tab.

Main #

Under the main tab there are many fields; the following two fields are related to the Translation Memory.

  • Penalty Colors: It enables you to edit the penalty colors in the TM.
  • Minimum Match Value: The minimum match value percentage that is allowed for the TM to display the matching segments. The edits you make here can overnight the current values specified in the TM profile.

The rest of the fields under the main tab are generic fields.

  • Spell Checking: Can be disabled
  • Font Size: Can be edited
  • Font Family: The font type can be edited
  • User Default Browser Font: Use the default font of Google Chrome that changes from one country to the other.

Auto Propagation #

This is related to the auto propagation function that enables the system to display the similar translations in the file. Meaning if the translator found a segment that has a match in the TM and this segment is repeated in the file, its translation is going to be displayed in all the similar instances along the file.

  • Enable Auto Propagation: It gives you the option to enable or disable this function.
  • Auto propagate exact matches to confirmed segments: This option applies auto propagation function after the translator confirm the translated similar segments.
  • Confirm after auto propagation with exact: This option applies auto propagation to all the similar segments and also confirm these translated segments automatically following the original one.
  • Start Position: This option specifies the position where the auto propagation function starts to be applied.
  • Prompt User: This option enables the system to notify the translator before applying the auto propagation function.

TM Settings #

The last tab includes many options that can be enabled or disabled that are all related to the TM settings. These options help the translator to use the TM in the appropriate way by applying his own default settings.

  • Perform TM lookup when active segment changes: Once a new segment is selected the TM performs lookup.
  • Apply best match for not translated segments: Apply the matched translation automatically or wait till the translator to apply it manually.
  • Move to next segment after applying manually: Enable the move to next segment to be manually or leave it to the default case to be automatically.
  • Apply non-client-TM hits: To enable or disable applying translation from non-client TMs.
  • Apply client match even if it is not the best match: Give client TM the priority over other TMs even if it does not have the higher match percentage.
  • Confirm Applied Exact Matches Translation phases: Confirm segments with exact match automatically.
  • Copy source to target if no match is found: When no match is found, copy source to target instead of leaving it empty
