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 (see Configuring Auto Propagation).

To leverage repetitive content from the TXLF Editor Translation tab (as shown):

Select a file.
Click Translate File.
The file appears in the Translation area of the Translation tab.
Select the first translatable segment and it changes to a blue background with the cursor in the target segment.
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.

Select a suggestion, or continue entering the translation.
Commit the term by using one of the following methods:
- Click Commit
- Click Next (or press Alt+).
- 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.
