To generate a live preview on the TXLF Editor:

  1. On the File tab, select a file with some translated content and click Preview > Live Preview.

    The live preview of the currently open file is displayed. The preview docks to the right of the TXLF Editor by default.

  2. Enter the translation or leverage the TM for any segment and press Alt-Down or click Next Segment under the Translation tab.

    The new translation is displayed in the live preview.
