Editing translation memory entries from the Translation Results pane |
In the View or edit TM entry dialog, you can directly edit the selected translation memory entry without leaving the translation editor. You can also edit entries of remote translation memories if you have sufficient privileges. However, one translation memory may only be edited by one person at a time. Due to a significant amount of data traffic, editing remote translation memories may be slow, especially when the server has a slow outbound connection.
Note: If you want to delete an entry or insert its target translation into the target side of the translation document after the cursor position, you need not invoke this dialog, just choose Delete or Insert Target Into Translation in the Translation results pane context menu.
Invoking
In the Translation results pane of the translation grid, right-click the entry, then choose View/Edit from the pop-up menu.
Structure
This dialog has a shrinked and an extended view. You can switch between these views by clicking the More >> button to expand or the Less << button to shrink the dialog.
The shrinked view consists of an editing interface for editing the source and target language entry, and a series of buttons. The extended view consists of the shrinked view, an area for displaying and editing the meta-information, and a series of buttons.
Editing interface
memoQ shows the source language on the left side and the target language on the right side. You can edit the segment as if you were in the translation document view. Correct the source and/or the target side of the entry, and click the Commit button.
