Configuring Transcheck

Transcheck verifies a translation for missing or incorrect text or variables. Its configuration is specific to a given project. For example, if a tag is missing or incorrect text was entered, a warning symbol appears before the target segment. The warning is shown when you mouse over the text.

To configure the Transcheck options from Preferences:

  1. Click Transcheck under Current Project Preferences.

    The Transcheck options appear. In the following image only the base options are shown. Many options present additional related options when they are selected.
