If you select this setting, the whole text is sent to MT matching during project analysis. The text can be resent to the MT on a segment-to-segment basis as in the In XTM Workbench option.
Use auto inline tag placement
This feature uses the XTM NLP framework for the automatic placement of inline tags in the machine translation.
Mandatory

Never (default).
If you select this setting, the inline tags are NOT processed by the auto-insert mechanism. XTM Cloud retains the structure of the inline tags inside matches as received from the MT.
Only incorrect inline tags.
If you select this setting, the inline tags are sent to an MT engine and the auto-insert mechanism only works for MT matches that have an incorrect inline tag structure, for example:
