Translation Reconciliation Adaptation Verification

Exercise 05.1: recognize repeated segments

  1. Press Ctrl+J and enter 13 to go to segment #13.

    Source text reads: Pretty good

  2. Notice how the segment marker says that this segment is repeated three more times.

    <segment 0013 +1 more ¶>.

  3. Look at the Segment Properties pane. It says "Is duplicate: FIRST"

  4. Right click on the segment. See how all the instances are listed and identified by their segment number.
  5. Select Segment 16 on the list to go to segment #16.
  6. Look at the Segment Properties pane for segment #16. It says "Is duplicate: NEXT"
  7. Right click on segment #16 to see instances listed again, go back to segment #13 again.

Exercise 05.2: auto-propagate translations

  1. Go to segment #12.

  2. Translate segment #12.

    You can insert the match (Ctrl+I) and update it (replace financière with économique)

  3. Notice how "situation économique" is grammatically feminine in French.

  4. Go to segment #13 and translate it. Suggested translation: Plutôt bonNE

    The -NE ending is the feminine suffix, because "Good" here refers to "economic situation", which is feminine in French

  5. Press Enter after translating segment #13 to go to segment #14.

  6. Notice how the translation is auto-propagated to segment #16.

  7. Translate segment #14. Suggested translation: Plutôt mauvaisE

    The -E ending is the feminine suffix, because "Bad" here refers to "economic situation", which is feminine in French

  8. Press Enter after translating segment #14 to confirm the translation of segment #14 and go to the next segment.

  9. Notice how the translation is auto-propagated to segment #17.

Exercise 05.3: auto-propagate edits in translations

  1. Go to segment #16 in the project. You can see that it is translated with your auto-propagated translation.

  2. Modify the translation (append "xx") in segment #16 and press Ctrl+S to save the translation.

  3. Notice how the translation of segment #13 also changes.
  4. Do the same in segment #17 and see how changes auto-propagate to segment #14.

Tip

Shortcut Ctrl+S saves the translation. You can also save in Project > Save, but using the mouse takes longer ;)
