Editing & Confirming

Translate by editing the Target column in the grid.

Editing

• Double-click a Target cell and type your translation.
• Use standard editing shortcuts (undo/redo, copy/paste, find/replace).

Multi-line target text

• Use Shift+Enter to insert a line break inside the cell.

Confirming segments

Confirming matters for many workflows, especially when exporting back to a CAT tool.

Typical workflow:

1. Translate (manual or AI)
2. Review the target text
3. Confirm the segment

Confirm shortcuts

• Ctrl+Enter: confirm the current segment (or all selected segments) and move to the next unconfirmed segment.
• Ctrl+Shift+Enter: confirm all selected segments.

You can also confirm by setting the segment Status dropdown to a confirmed status.

INFO

If you plan to reimport into a CAT tool, avoid merging/splitting content across segments.
