Marked Terms

Terminology used in the active segment, within the current file (Batch) will show under the ‘Marked Terms’. This includes Glossary terms and Required terms required for the project and client.

RED terms are ‘Required’ terms that must remain the same as the source text, and should not be changed.

BLUE terms are ‘glossary’ terms which help translators & validators provide the best choice of terms to use for their content.

Terms with GREEN tick indicate when the suggested glossary or required term is being used within the target segment.

Note: This tick does not indicate that the term must be used.

Case sensitive terminology (Aa). When terms are marked as ‘case sensitive’, this means that the case of the source term must match exactly to be considered as a glossary / required word match.

Example: Glossary term: IT

Source text: I went out to dinner with a friend and it was a great meal.

The word “it” will not be a glossary term, because the case does not match.

Source text: The world of IT offers many job opportunities.

The word “IT” will be marked as a glossary term, as the case matches the glossary term.

Filters

There are several filtering options in the Terminology pane to enable validators to select which information they want to view.
