Leveraging Repetitive Content

Leveraging repetitive content re-uses segments that are repeated in a file. For example, if there are multiple instances of the phrase Our Process then the translator needs to type the translation only once. The remaining segments are leveraged automatically when Auto Propagation is enabled, refer to Enabling Auto Propagation.

To leverage repetitive content:

  1. Follow the steps to open a file from section Opening Files.

    The file appears in the Translation window. The first translatable segment appears in a blue background with the cursor in the target segment by default.

      Note:

    There are three instances of the source phrase Auto Prop.

  2. Enter the text in the target segment for the first instance.

    Suggestions from the TM appear as the translation is entered. The target segment appears in a pink background. A example is shown below.

  3. Select a suggestion, or continue entering the translation.
  4. Commit the term by using one of the following methods.
    • Click Commit.

    • Click Next.

    • Press Alt+End.

    The entered target segment is saved to the TM. The score for the selected segment appears in the color selected for segments committed to the TM in translation. An example is shown below.

      Note:

    The remaining instances of "Auto Prop" are translated automatically, and appear in the color selected for auto-propagated segments. The Repetition icon appears in the Status column. An example is shown below.
