Hi!
I pretty new working with Trados and I think my problem should actually be easy to solve, but I just don't find out how! I hope I can describe adequatly:

I'm translating a file with a lot of repetitions. I translate a segment and I confirm it and it gets applied to all segments of the same kind. But then later, after the the tenth segement or so or even in the review I change my mind and change the translation. I confirm it and I want it to be applied to all the repetition... See more

How do I do that in an easy and efficient way?


Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

The feature you are seeking is called auto-propagation.

I suggest you search for the relevant documentation, depending on your version.

I think it's the following setting you want (this is Studio 2019, but it should be something similar in your case):
Skjermbilde

I.e. File > Options > Editor > Auto-propagate > Starting position: Auto-propagate from: First segment in the document

I hope this helps.

I found it and it works, thank you so much!

It's difficult to find help in the documentation if you don't know how it's called what you are looking for

Thanks again and a nice day for the two of you.
