Configuring Auto Propagation

Auto Propagation allows repetitive content in the file to be translated consistently, by propagating translated segments. The Auto Propagation options control which segments are candidates for auto propagation.

To edit the Auto Propagation preferences, navigate to Preferences and then:

  1. Click Auto Propagation.

    The Auto Propagation preferences options list appears.

    Figure 1. Preferences—Auto Propagation

      Note:

    Auto Propagation is enabled by default and must be enabled to use the Auto Propagation options listed below.

  2. Deselect Enable Auto-Propagation to disable Auto Propagation.
  3. Select Enable auto-propagation across all open files to apply Auto Propagation to all open files.
  4. Review the Auto Propagation options to ensure that those required are the only ones selected. The options are described in the following table.

    Option

    Descripton

    100% Matches

    Overwrites 100% leveraged Translation Memory (TM) matches.

    Fuzzy Matches

    Overwrites partial Translation Memory matches.

    Autopropagated Matches

    Overwrites all auto-propagated 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 committed to the Translation Memory (TM).
