Active Prompt

Each Trados project can have an active prompt — the prompt that Quick Add appends terminology to. This is also the prompt that is auto-selected in the Batch Translate dropdown when you open the project.

Setting the active prompt

1. Open Settings → Prompts
2. Right-click any prompt in the tree
3. Choose Set as active prompt for this project

The active prompt is shown with a pin icon and bold blue text in the Prompt Manager, and a checkmark appears next to its name in the Batch Translate dropdown. The Batch Translate dropdown updates live – you do not have to close the Settings dialog for the change to take effect. Cancelling the dialog reverts the change; clicking OK persists it.

To clear the active prompt, right-click it again and choose the same menu item (it toggles).

Note

The active prompt works for any prompt regardless of folder or category. Even if a prompt’s Category is not Translate (for example, a prompt at the root of the tree with no category set), it will still appear and be pre-selected in the Batch Translate dropdown once you mark it as active.

Note

The active prompt is saved per project. Different Trados projects can have different active prompts.
