Alternative translations
Alternative translations. This option is often used for transcreation projects. When activated, the layout of XTM Workbench changes to allow the translator to enter alternative translations and back translations.

The settings entered here for the system can be modified at customer and project level. XTM Cloud displays each source segment the specified number of times in XTM Workbench. There is a recommended translation followed by a set number of alternative translations, all of which can be completed by the translator. Each alternative translation has a field to enter a back-translation.
Alternative translation report can be generated and downloaded from Project Editor, Files tab or Previews. The report is an Excel file containing all the translations, back translations, and comments in one sheet.
Tip
The comments section can be used as a place to enter the explanation for each translation. A reviewer may choose the required alternative translation and copy it from the alternative to recommended translation. Only the recommended translation will be used to generate the target document.
Alternative translations segmentation. If the alternative translations option has been set, you can choose whether to segment the source text in paragraphs or use the standard segmentation rules for your system. The segmentation method will apply to all customers and projects when processing projects with alternative translations.
