    Option

    Descripton

    100% Matches

    Overwrites 100% leveraged Translation Memory (TM) matches.

    Fuzzy Matches

    Overwrites partial Translation Memory matched.

    Autopropagated Matches

    Overwrites all autopropagated matches. This means that if there are multiple segments that have the same content then editing one segment auto propagates the change in all matching segments.

    Edited Segments

    Overwrites edited segments. This allows segments that have been edited to be overwritten by Auto Propagation.

    Machine Translated Segments

    Overwrites machine translated content.

    Committed Segments

    Overwrites translated content which is commited to the Translation Memory (TM).
