Overview: Translator Toolbar

The Translator Toolbar is designed to centralize all the functions that a Translator needs to carry out their work efficiently and quickly.

Translation suggestions are displayed here while glossary matches are listed in the Terms window. If a segment has no translation suggestion available for it, the translator can use Machine Translation to create one for any segment.

Suggested translations are displayed here. Suggestions can be either identical or similar matches, referred to as Fuzzy Matches.

When a suggested translation is not a 100% match, the difference are highlighted in Red.
