Leveraging Repetitive Content

Leveraging repetitive content re-uses segments that are repeated in a file. In the following example there are multiple instances of the phrase Seamless Database Integration..., so when the translator enters the translation the duplicate segment is likewise translated. So for duplicate segments you only enter the translation once and the duplicate segments are leveraged, updated automatically when Auto Propagation is enabled (refer to Configuring Auto-Propagation).

To leverage repetitive content from the TXLF Editor Translation tab:

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

In this example, the duplicate segments have been located with a filtered search.
Enter the translation into the first segment.
Commit the term by using one of the following methods:
- Click Commit
- Click Next
The entered target segment is saved to the TM and automatically propagates this target segment for all repeats of the source segment throughout the file.
