TM Settings
The TM settings box (Settings → General) controls how translation memory matches are inserted and propagated as you work.
Auto-fill empty segments with 100% TM matches
When you select an empty segment that has a 100% TM match, its translation is filled in automatically. This saves time on repetitive content – exact matches appear without any manual action.
- ↳ Mark auto-filled segments as confirmed – when enabled, an auto-filled segment lands as confirmed. Otherwise the auto-filled translation is inserted as a draft for you to review.
Auto-propagate confirmed translations to identical segments
When you confirm a segment, its translation is copied to every other segment whose source text is identical. This is the memoQ/Trados-style propagate-on-confirm behaviour – translate a repeated sentence once, confirm it, and the rest of the document catches up automatically.
By default, only empty identical segments are filled, and they are inserted as drafts.
- ↳ Mark propagated segments as confirmed – propagated segments land as confirmed instead of draft.
- ↳ Overwrite existing translations when propagating – propagation also replaces existing target content in identical segments. When disabled, only empty segments are filled.
Auto-confirm 100% TM matches when navigating (Ctrl+Enter)
When enabled, pressing Ctrl+Enter automatically inserts, confirms, and skips past any segment that has a 100% TM match, so you can move quickly through perfect matches.
- ↳ Also overwrite existing translations with 100% TM matches – auto-confirm also replaces existing target content (including pre-translations or machine translations) with the 100% match.
TM Save Mode
Controls what happens when the same source segment is saved to the TM more than once.
- Save all translations (with timestamps) – keeps every version of a translation for a given source, with timestamps. The most recent translation is preferred when showing matches.
- Save only latest translation (overwrite) – keeps only the most recent translation, overwriting older ones. This prevents the TM from growing with obsolete entries. (Default.)
