      Translator View 

      Translator view displays one read-only column for the source text and one column for the editable target text. In addition, there is one column to the right for Translation Memory, Glossary and Tags.

      Note

      Translator view will be opened by default if the user's Project Role is Translator.

       

      If you’re not familiar with a Company Role and Project Role, please refer to this article: Company Roles, Project Roles and Company Group

      With the Translator view, translators can focus on translations with expanded records, character count, Translation Memory, Glossary and Tags on the right side.

      Switching between records and editing strings is more comfortable with shortcuts. Translators are able to view changes when the source language is changed.

      Note

      Translator view is only available in Translation Grids (Grids that have Localization columns)

       

      Inside the Translator view 

      There are three main sections in the Translator view: Source language column, Target language column and a section for CAT tools (Translation Memory, Glossary, and Tags). 

      Source language section

      You can view the source language column information, who edited the source string and when at the top of this panel. Click to show special characters.
